As I have shared before, I had chickenpox as a child, and later that same virus came out of remission and became mononucleosis. After I discovered that I had a reactivation of that virus again in 2022, I became serious about learning more about Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). In January 2024, once again EBV reared its ugly head. The same exhaustion I felt as a teenager and in 2022, entered my body. While doing my research, I stumbled upon Ashley Biscoe, ND, of Attune Medical. Because of her, I was able to learn how to test “outside the box.” But after 2 recurrences, it is time to figure out how to reverse and prevent the Epstein-Barr virus. Dr. Biscoe will share how we can identify, prevent, and reverse the Epstein-Barr virus.

Have you had your G-BOMBS today? If you haven’t, you will want to do so after this class. World renowned, New York Times bestselling author, Joel Fuhrman, MD,  has been sharing how we can reverse and prevent disease with a Nutritarian lifestyle. But many of us believe that if we starve ourselves, follow a fad diet, or obsess over every calorie we eat, we will achieve the weight we want. It is time to stop the madness with our beliefs about how to release weight. Dr. Fuhrman is back to share the truth about diets.

How do you know you are ready to become a caregiver? How long are you willing to take on the caregiving role? For many of us, becoming a caregiver can happen unexpectantly, without warning. We find ourselves in a role and we have no idea how it will affect us. Caregiving expert, advocate, author, and speaker Pamela D Wilson, MS, BS-BA, NCG, CSA, knew from an early age she possessed a love and passion for the elderly. And when this passion took a personal turn towards loss, Pamela brought her passion to those she loved the most, her parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Pamela will share the caregiver’s journey and how we can prepare for this volunteer job that can lead to deeper love, higher stress, and feelings of being taken for granted. 

You may have heard of “adrenal fatigue syndrome.” But have you ever heard of “adrenaline dominance”? When doing research on why I am having troubles staying asleep, I stumbled upon Michael Platt, MD. Dr. Platt’s work in adrenal dominance has changed the way I look at progesterone and how it helps calm the body down. Dr. Platt will share how to identify Adrenaline Dominance and what to do about it.

It felt like a minute… but the month of May flew by faster than I would have liked. I had so many goals and, for the most part, I feel good about my achievements. But it is the goals that I was not able to complete that make me wonder why. What caused me to get derailed? Perhaps it was all my distractions in this world that caused me to disconnect with that voice within me. What is that voice that guides us beyond our understanding? I will share the importance of listening to and connecting to that voice within us.
