If you follow me on instagram (and if you don’t, YOU SHOULD!) you’ll know that from time to time I’ll post a video with some facts, motivation or a mantra.  I can’t take credit for the idea, I LOVE Arielle Caputo’s videos 🙂 After this post you can expect lots of healing mantra videos! While …
Head Up, Heart Strong. That was Matthew Dudley’s message and a key phrase that I’ll always remember. As I sat there watching this live at medx, I had tears in my eyes and chills all over my body. As I sat here at home watching it, I again had chills and was just so overly …
Last October I started my healing journey with food. For months I cut out sugar, gluten, dairy, corn, soy, gmo’s… the list goes on and on. Fast forward a year. I still have not included most of these back in my diet, but I know I need to make a change because my health has …
My Grandpa passed away on September 1st, 2014 of lung cancer. I left his wake to catch my plane out to Stanford to attend Medicine X. When Janet walked out on the stage and gave this ignite talk I was speechless. I had chills, I had tears in my eyes, I had an explosion of …

Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about the Union Project, but had never been there. I didn’t even know exactly where it was. When I realized that the Body Love Tour was taking place there I was excited to check it out. The Union Project is an old church that was taken on by the …
This year at Medx ePatient Carly (@CarlyRM) presented a panel on the pain scale and how it doesn’t necessarily transfer over to chronically ill patients. I was one of her test subjects and for 3 months submitted pictures of myself. These pictures were matched up to the pain scale number I was feeling that day (1-10 …
