Health Is Wealth
How I turned illness and pain into extraordinary wellness.
“A major contribution of Miracles is their strength in releasing you from your false sense of isolation, deprivation and lack.”
A Course in Miracles, Principles of Miracles #42
If you’ve followed my work, you know that I have made a miraculous recovery after many years of illness. I spent 7 years in bed, too sick to work. Being sick makes it oh so much harder to stay positive, but I learned that—well or unwell—it’s my responsibility to get myself into the best mental, physical, and spiritual state to serve my clients and raise funds.
Fundraising requires a high spiritual vibration, a positive energy, which is why striving for health - even when we struggle to achieve it - is essential when working on money and mission. To fundraise successfully, we must treat our bodies like temples—nourishing food, movement, sunshine, and all the good stuff.
Very few people get back up after 7 years bedridden.
Some of my chronic illnesses may have begun in childhood, but in my early 40s I went from training for a triathlon to being bedridden for seven years. What I experienced was likely extreme adrenal fatigue, an undiagnosed thyroid issue, and long list of other undiagnosed issues. I transitioned from an athletic and successful workaholic to losing everything: career, savings, property, and more.
It took 11 years to get my first diagnosis, and because my conditions aren’t recognized by Western medicine, I’ve had to pay privately for all my care. Beyond the loss of income, illness is expensive—I would typically spend $12,000–$15,000 a year on medical costs.
My climb back to wellness was slow but steady. However, in 2023–2024 I slipped again into disability, spending 10 months of the year in bed. I continued serving clients, but illness steals the joy from the work. I was afraid that I was going to lose all the incremental gains I had made over the years.
Then, beginning July 1, 2024, everything shifted—I got myself well again. I transformed all those years of pain and illness into a new healthy body. Now, with vitally renewed health, I want to share some of the most powerful bio-hacks I’ve discovered through years of medical detective work.
Some of the tools I’ll share include affiliate links, which may benefit me financially. Here goes:
4 Month Detox
This is a
Starting July 1, 2024, I undertook a radical transformation through detox. I used a bundle of products from a company that happens to be based just around the corner from where I live, and the founder brought me my bundle to my apartment. Now THAT’s customer service! The products are great. And very cheap in terms of bang for your wellness buck..
The first two months of my detox program found me terribly ill as the products created die-off of all the toxins in my blood. But by the end of the 4th months I was super well, and I couldn’t be more grateful for these products. I will be taking some of them for the rest of my life.
And here is the actual 4 month cleanse that I did that completely changed my life:

Fasting Mimicking / Intermittent fasting
The benefits of fasting are well documented. However, I was never able to do it. Maybe as a result of my many chronic illnesses, or maybe because of such an excess, already, of discomfort. LOL! A doctor put together a 5-day fasting protocol, which involves fasting with small amounts of food. I was finally able to get into fasting using this methodology.
Now intermittent fasting is part of my daily routine, and these products were instrumental in getting me here. This company provides coaching support so you can do the 5-day fast with professional support and in a group which can be so helpful.

Stem cell patches
When I first tried these patches, my lifelong insomnia was alleviated very, very fast. It was stunning to me that this little tiny patch could have such a profound impact. I have also experienced one of the patches eliminating pain in a matter of minutes. Pretty profound.
This company provides lots of seminars and support whether you want to become a patch user like me or if you want to turn it into a business. You can check out all the stem cell patch information here:
ZenCleanz
Once I became well, my next goal was to retain and improve on that healthy body. My most recent find is a company that creates cleanses using fermented fruit and vegetables. You can try one of their one day cleanses for removing mucoidal plaque, or for cleansing the liver. When you enter the ZenCleanz world, you will enter a completely new realm of body hacking. This is next level stuff.
