What happens when a mother refuses to accept surface-level answers for her child’s health?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jen — a physician and integrative medicine practitioner who went back to school after her son began struggling with PAN/PANDAS. That journey didn’t just change her family’s life… it changed her entire career path.

Today, Jen is the founder of Root Cause Integrative Wellness, a clinic built on one simple but powerful belief:
👉 healing doesn’t start with symptoms — it starts with root causes.

We talk about:

• What PAN/PANDAS taught her about the gaps in conventional medicine
• Why integrative & holistic care must be accessible to everyday families
• How Cleveland was missing true full-immersion healing education — and why she decided to change that
• The importance of community, connection, and supporting local holistic businesses
• What real, sustainable healing looks like when you address the whole body

Jen also shares the heart behind creating a first-of-its-kind integrative wellness market in Cleveland & Full submersion Holistic Healing live event! Bringing together local businesses, practitioners, and resources so families can learn how to support their health daily, not just during a crisis.

✨ We’re attending this event ourselves and are SO excited to support and share it with you.
