From the very beginning, I was toxic. I was born jaundiced, likely due to in-utero and inherited toxicity stemming from my mother’s profession as a dentist. My upbringing only compounded these issues. I was raised on microwaved, saran-wrapped meals and whatever I could scavenge from a kitchen stocked by weight-conscious, working parents—long before organic foods were widely available. When I fell ill, I was treated exclusively with conventional allopathic methods.

Things worsened as I grew older. I was prescribed Retin-A Micro (topical trans-retinoic acid) for mild acne and Prozac for teenage mood swings. Summers and holidays spent working in my mother’s dental office exposed me to even more toxins, as mercury was drilled out of patients' teeth without any protective measures for either the patient or practitioner.

Looking back, it’s no surprise that I developed severe aplastic anemia just before my 16th birthday. The toxic burden I had been accumulating since conception overwhelmed my liver and fat stores, leading to the destruction of most of the blood-forming cells in my bone marrow. The treatment to save my life—more drugs—came at the expense of even deeper toxicity. From that point forward, my health and vitality were never the same.

In my desperate quest to restore some semblance of well-being, I unknowingly compounded my toxic load—this time poisoning myself through misguided attempts to heal.

After having two children, I unintentionally passed on my toxic burden. My daughter was born jaundiced, and my son developed intellectual disabilities due to toxicity—often euphemistically called "special needs." These harsh realities forced me to confront the truth about our health struggles. Despite my efforts to “fix” my children with conventional health protocols, the results were frustrating and disheartening.

Three years ago, I experienced a breakthrough when I tried flush niacin, but the real turning point came through the work of Dr. Garrett Smith. His insights gave me clarity and a newfound understanding of the true causes of chronic illnesses. For the first time, I began to make meaningful progress toward detoxification, wellness, and vitality—for myself and my children.

The financial and emotional relief of no longer wasting small fortunes on ineffective treatments has been profound. My life’s work now makes sense: my degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and my experience in biotech—fields I pursued over art school in an effort to understand my rare disease—finally have a proper application. I can now help myself and others heal, which is a source of immense pride.

The benefits my children and I have gained through understanding Vitamin A Detox (NA) and the Love Your Liver Program (LYL) are countless. However, the third key to wellness is time. True healing takes time, effort, and commitment. My mission is to help others spend that time wisely, guiding them toward becoming the healthiest versions of themselves.
