Dr. Ashley Beckman experienced a life-changing moment at age 25 when she awoke in severe pain, leading to a frustrating diagnosis of a likely autoimmune disease that would take years to confirm. Frustrated with conventional approaches, she took matters into her own hands by eliminating gluten and dairy from her diet, which initially alleviated her symptoms. However, after a debilitating episode left her in a wheelchair, she committed permanently to avoiding gluten.

As her career progressed and her personal life became more hectic, Dr. Beckman received an autoimmune diagnosis that required further dietary restrictions and medication. Determined to uncover the root causes of her health issues, she conducted extensive tests on mold exposure, toxins, and gut health. The results revealed high levels of toxins and imbalances, which, along with her genetic predispositions, contributed to her conditions.

Through her discoveries, Dr. Beckman successfully reversed her autoimmune disease, migraines, and joint pain, significantly improving her health. Today, she shares her holistic approach with clients through her Root Cause Solution program, empowering them to reclaim their health and vitality.

The origins of my business started in my early 20s when I broke my back in a surfing accident. I went from an 8x All-American Division 1 swimmer to barely being able to bend forward or go up and down stairs. After spending years looking for solutions to rehab my body, I came across the work I now teach others. The pain was my greatest teacher. Spending a decade of my life disabled taught me so many lessons about how to care for the body, what works, what doesn’t, and so on. I spent years chasing my back pain, only to find out that what was really preventing me from healing were my movement patterns. Sure, my back needed help, but I was neglecting everything else in search of magic back therapy. It wasn’t until I stopped chasing back pain and learned the art and science of how to get the entire body to move better that things took a positive turn in my life. I now do this with other people who have injuries, are in chronic pain, or don’t move like they used to; I teach them how to take a step back and change how they approach whatever problem with their body they are facing to get better results. The first time I discovered ‘movement pattern therapy’ was some 5+ years after breaking my back. It was never recommended, and I was never referred to it in my years in physical therapy. After my first session, feeling the change that I made myself by learning really simple exercises I could easily do at home; my mission became clear – to tell as many people as possible about this training style. I couldn’t believe something so simple and so effective was out there, and I had never heard of it. I didn’t want anyone else to spend years needlessly in pain like I did just because they never heard of this revolutionary style of training and rehabilitating movement. I went back to school and acquired as many certifications as possible because I wanted to bring this information to the world in a scalable way. I invested everything I had into creating an online program to teach people exactly what to do and how to do it. Some 10 years later, 4,000 lives changed across the globe, and that dream is becoming a reality.

Kendra's Story:

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2017, I found that eating a strict gluten-free diet was very challenging due to many instances where food in restaurants contained gluten, even though it should have been gluten-free. After getting sick many times, I decided to train a gluten detection dog. We have been training since Suki was 6 months old. She checks all my food, medicine, and personal care products. She has already saved me several times from getting violently ill from gluten.
