  • 116: Ozone, Low Level Laser, and Metabolism Testing with Dr. Kelly Felmer

    Dr. Kelly Felmer is a Doctoral prepared Nurse Practitioner who empowers men and women to take control of their own health. She joins me today to talk about ozone, low-level laser therapy, and metabolism testing.

    Benefits of ozone:

    • Removing inflammation
    • Fighting cancer
    • Treating autoimmune diseases
    • Recovering from viral illnesses when combined with vitamin C
    • Enhancing athletic performance
    •  

      Guest Bio:

      Dr. Kelly Felmer is a Doctoral prepared Nurse Practitioner who is on a lifelong journey of being healthy and wants that for all the people she serves as well. 

      She helps both women and men to be empowered and to take control of their own health. With over 25 years of medical experience, Dr. Kelly guides those in need on a health journey to reverse disease, resolve symptoms, and restore normal function in the body. 

      At Discovery Health Healing Center in Green Bay, WI, Dr. Kelly and her staff believe that no one has to suffer from nagging symptoms and chronic illness, but also that people have been taught wrong about how to keep themselves healthy. Medications do not make a person healthy. They treat a symptom. 

      So at DHHC, we focus on the basic function of the body, work to restore normal function at a cellular level, and therefore, resolve the cause of the symptoms and reverse the disease process.

      • 115: Improve Your Vision Naturally with Claudia Muehlenweg

        Claudia Muehlenweg focuses on finding the root cause of blurry vision instead of using symptomatic treatments like glasses, contacts, or surgery. She joins me today to share her thoughts about readers, contacts, sunglasses, Lasik eye surgery, and eye drops, and discuss ways to improve your vision naturally.

        Strategies for improving your vision naturally:

        • Palming will rest your eyes and relax your mind.
        • Sunning will improve your pupillary reactions.
        • Strobing will reduce light sensitivity.
        • Blinking more frequently will prevent dry eyes.
        • Stop wearing sunglasses to help your night vision. [Don’t do this in extreme conditions or if your pupils do not constrict properly.]
        • Moving your head and your eyes together will help prevent astigmatism.
        • Guest Bio:

          Claudia is a sought-after international speaker and workshop leader. 

          She focuses on finding the root cause of her clients’ blurry vision instead of using symptomatic treatments like glasses, contacts, or surgery that can actually make their eyesight worse in the long term.

              Dr. Tessier, previously CIRS certified in 2016, treats not only biotoxin illness but also other overlooked forms of mold illness, including allergy, infection/colonization, and mycotoxicosis. 

              Dr. Tessier serves clients via in-office medical care or through educational wellness consults; she also provides one-on-one private training for practitioners looking to improve upon their mold-literate clinical skills. 

              Dr. Tessier is the President of ISEAI, or the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness, and has been in service to the nonprofit since 2017, in the roles of Secretary, Vice President, and general board member. ISEAI is dedicated to helping practitioners learn how to diagnose and treat Environmentally Acquired Illness in their client population. 

              The free e-booklet “Mold Prevention: 101”, authored by Dr. Tessier is available on her website, and has been circulated worldwide.

                                The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, is a way to help your body process, release, and heal stored trauma to become happier and healthier humans. It calms our parasympathetic nervous system and helps our bodies innately process childhood trauma. Amy Stark joins me to talk about how she uses and teaches EFT to help others transform their lives.

                                        The quality of our soil and our poor digestive health means that most of us are not getting enough vitamins and minerals. The solution? Supplementing what we’re not getting. But with all those supplement choices out there, how do you choose a high-quality product at an affordable price? I’m joined by Thomas Pennel from Ortho Molecular Products to talk about how his company chooses high-quality ingredients to create one of the best supplements available on the market.

                                         

                                        Ortho Molecular Makes the Highest Quality Supplements by:

                                        1. Freeze drying the organisms
                                        2. Spraying the organisms with a protective coating
                                        3. Putting more product than needed in the supplement
                                        4. Shelf stabilizing the product
                                        5.

                                            The fatigue you feel could be so much more than not sleeping well at night. Fatigue could be a symptom of a much more serious underlying condition. I’m joined by Dr. Rajka Milanovic Galbraith to talk about fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, and the tests you need to have to get to the root of your illness.

                                             

                                            Reduce Impact of Oxidative Stress

                                            1. Get tested for nutrients even if you’re eating organic
                                            2. Ensure you have adequate protein in your diet
                                            3. Get tested for all toxins
                                            4. Look at your toxic exposures and remove them
                                            5. Look at your genetics to prevent future health issues
                                            6.
