Hey Reader, I don't know if you know, but as soon as my oldest was born, she had trouble sleeping without being propped up. Then, we found out she had acid reflux. Then, she started getting nosebleeds. Then the nosebleeds got worse (I mean, torrential downpour worse π). As a trained health practitioner, I knew the EXACT steps I wanted to take to help heal her, but even THEN it was still stressful having to watch her go through discomfort, and I very much felt on the edge of my seat until she...

Reader,there are a few of my favorite things: Matcha lattes π΅ Watching anime with a friend π€£ The smell of muffins coming out of the oven β¨οΈ Picking blueberries with my daughter π« I've really been enjoying embracing the soft, cozy life lately. But I know all of this wouldn't be possible without my health being easy. Unfortunately, what I see from so many women and men is that their health just feels like a STRUGGLE. The internet doesn't help this situation. So many influencers, nutritionists,...

Reader, sometimes there are just too many choices to make in life. I've felt that way for FOREVER about clothing, so to steer clear of fashion faux pas, I have stuck primarily with just a few colors: black, white, beige, and light blue. It was boring, but it kept me in line. I didn't feel AMAZING wearing these colors, but I didn't feel horrible. Until recently...I got my color analysis done. And OMG - look at this difference!!! π± Before π¨ After!!! π In the first one - I look like a ghost! π»...

You may be wondering - "Allison, why did you do that? Don't you DO functional medicine?" Well, yes. I do. There was only ONE reason why I had this appointment: to get some lab testing covered by my insurance. And since I can't get labs covered by insurance if I order it for myself...I found a doctor who would. And the only kind I could find...was VERY expensive. (And BTW! I'm going to be creating a podcast episode on the EXACT insurance I use to cover my functional medicine appointments and...

Hey Reader, One year after I started my business, a woman was referred to my clinic who was the worst case I'd seen. Prior to seeing me, she'd has 2 back surgeries and was in constant, chronic pain that shot down her back and left leg. She couldn't get in or out of the car without her entire body hurting. She spent 1/3 of her salary on alternative medicine just to get through her day as a successful professor and performer at a top-tier university. She was referred to be because she couldn't...

Hey Reader,I never planned to start a business. π
βοΈ In 2014, I graduated with an English Major and I wanted to work in non-profits my entire life. Everything changed when I got sick. In 2015, I developed a sensitivity to dairy. In a few months, that sensitivity to dairy turned into a gluten sensitivity. By the end of the year, I had a list of food sensitivities, eating was never comfortable, and I was losing my hair, my period, and my sanity. I couldn't sleep, couldn't poop, couldn't think...
