About Melissa Mullamphy:

I had a lot of jobs in life starting at the age of 14. I filled grocery bags, played the drums in an all-girl heavy metal thrash band, sold lottery tickets, got a Master’s degree in counseling psychology, worked in a psychiatric emergency room, led various non-profit events, and ran group therapy. I settled in corporate America as a Domestic Operations Manager for just shy of 20 years in a profession that had nothing to do with my degree, traveling the country in limousines, airplanes and did a lot of fine dining.  Sounds important, right? Or dysfunctional, you pick. 

Nothing could prepare me to watch my Mother die and suffer for eight months from ovarian cancer. No job, no fancy degree, no experience. 

Like me, this book is eclectic.  I call it a memoir/ self-help. My goal is to keep the promise that I made to my Mom, one late night in her hospital room while she was suffering yet another complication of the shit diagnosis of cancer.

You will learn what my family learned the hard way while being by my Mother’s side the entire time.  All of it.  The mistakes, the emotion, false hope, the waits, and the love we all shared as a family unit at the most heartbreaking time of my life.   

Each chapter represents every month from diagnosis to death, and lessons and tips to help you advocate for your loved ones through example, find your voice, and understand your rights in a very complicated, fucked up, and imperfect healthcare system.

About Erica Hoke:

Erica Hoke is the infertile mother of 4 boys, all born to her as a “geriatric” pregnant lady. After struggling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, unable to participate in traditional IUI or IVF methods, she was able to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle.

Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Dissatisfied with the way reproductive endocrinology (REI) medicine handles common infertility issues, Erica is determined to disrupt the entire reproductive medical system. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments.

About Dr. Norm Robillard:

Norm Robillard, Ph.D. (Norman John Robillard), Founder of Digestive Health Institute, is a gut health expert, author, and microbiologist. He is the creator of the Fast Tract Diet – Fermentation Potential (FP) system, author of the Fast Tract Digestion book series, and publisher of the Fast Tract Diet mobile app.

Dr. Norm received his Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst studying Bacillus anthracis and other Bacillus species. His post-doctoral training at Tufts University, Boston, focused on antibiotic resistance gene transfer. He was the first to demonstrate the transfer of genes (via conjugation) between the anaerobic gut microbes Bacteroides fragilis and E. coli.

During his career in pharma/biotech, Dr. Norm studied the mechanisms of antibiotic action and the genetics of antibiotic resistance. His work contributed to the development and approval of ciprofloxacin, a life-saving antibiotic. However, he always recommended a cautious approach with antibiotics balancing the benefits with the risks and side effects.

Beyond antibiotics, Dr. Norm worked on various other projects, including septic shock, viral illnesses and other antibiotics, antiviral and antibody-based therapies.

About Dr. Meg:

I’m Meg Mill, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Doctor of Pharmacy, and mom of three. I’ve been there, I get it and I’m here to HELP YOU!

My practice is focused on helping people reset their digestion, reduce inflammatory symptoms, balance hormones, get more energy, reduce anxiety and restore their immune systems. 

A healthy lifestyle and preventative care have always been my passion.  I graduated with a PharmD in 2002 from Duquesne University and continued with a residency at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. I had several other clinical pharmacist positions and have seen patients popping so many pills while getting sicker and more frustrated.

After almost 20 years in conventional medicine, I have grown confident there is another way.  For this reason, I embarked on a journey to gain knowledge in the field of Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition.

I am passionate about empowering people to take control of their lives, starting with their health. As your partner in this journey, I will dig deep to understand the underlying cause of your concerns, instead of merely alleviating your symptoms. My ultimate goal is to provide you with the tools that you need to live and sustain your healthiest life. 

I see people locally and nationally through zoom.
