I am still on cloud-9 about the I AM the SOLUTION Natural Health Summit! It was full of so many gifts, lessons, and surprises. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left; it was apparent that there is a need to look at the most important aspect of health… Our Mindset! So, before I take some much-needed time off, it is time to look at our mind and see how we hold ourselves back. Also, on May 14th we will celebrate another year in The Classroom. I will share my reflections on the past, present, and future of The Classroom!

I met John Silva, DC, in 2017. I was thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Silva this year at an Avazzia class. Dr. Silva has expanded how he is making a difference in his clinic by helping his patients understand neurologic disorders and how neurofeedback can help. What is neurofeedback? It is a drug-free, non-invasive system that can improve the quality of life and eliminate the need for medications. Neurofeedback can improve our sleep, our memory, and help us become more calm, alert, and focused. I will share my experience with neurofeedback while Dr. Silva dives deeper into how we can effectively overcome brain-based disorders. 

When I think of dentistry, I think of prevention through dental care. But it was not until I met Claire Stagg, DDS, that I realized that dental care has dramatically changed from how it was practiced in the past. Dr. Stagg’s mentors like, Aelred C. Fonder, DDS, 1916-2003, Weston Price, DDS, 1870-1948, and Royal Lee, DDS, 1895-1967, have taught her that EVERYTHING is connected to our mouth. When you visit Dr. Stagg, you get five doctors for the price of one! Dr. Stagg will share how each of her mentors has impacted how she practices whole health balance dentistry today.

After losing both his mother and sister to colon cancer, Al Sanchez committed to joining his family, friends, and colleagues in their quest to find better options, information, treatments, and hopefully one day a cure for those stricken with cancer. You probably have not heard of a supplement called Poly-MVA. I am grateful that Al will share why we all need to consider making Poly-MVA part of our supplement cabinet.

When you have a dream or a passion, how willing are you to follow that passion to the end? Have you ever given up when life got truly tough? For Matthew Kenslow, author of Unstoppable, living with autism makes every choice tougher. Matthew knows firsthand that with determination and perseverance, everyone can be successful. Matthew’s courage to follow his dream of becoming a teacher and worldwide influencer is contagious. He will share how, even if we have a disability, we can all create the life of our dreams.

The last time I interviewed professor Thomas Seyfried, PhD, he mentioned that I should interview Pablo Kelly. Pablo is a young man who was given months to live after they discovered he had a stage 4 glioblastoma cancer tumor. Immediately they started to fit him with a cage that would keep his brain still during chemotherapy. He walked away and chose to embrace a more holistic way to treat brain cancer. Pablo will share his journey with brain cancer and ketosis.
