Send us Fan Mail Alex Marie Freed was a healthy mom of three when she suddenly began experiencing daily migraines, vomiting spells, panic attacks, dizziness, severe anxiety, food reactions, and debilitating fatigue. Doctors blamed pregnancy, stress, and anxiety. But what no one connected was that her symptoms began shortly after moving into a fixer-upper home with a history of flooding. In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with integrative health practitioner Alex Marie Freed to discuss her journey through mold illness, Lyme, MCAS, miscarriage, medical dismissal, and the long road back to health. Alex shares how her family was impacted, what finally helped her connect the dots, why remediation mistakes can make things worse, and how she now helps women and children dealing with complex chronic illness. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, but the root cause has to be addressed.

Alex’s health journey began with migraines, nausea, vomiting, chronic fatigue, extreme food aversions, anxiety, insomnia, and air hunger, which eventually led to a diagnosis of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, Placenta Previa, Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Throughout her journey, she learned these labels could be traced to a single root cause- inflammation. Alex discovered that by increasing the body's resiliency and creating a stronger terrain, we decrease our susceptibilities. After overcoming these diagnoses and finding full healing, she created Elliott Ray Holistic Wellness, a virtual practice supporting families walking through chronic illness. Alex is a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Bioenergetic Practitioner, and educator. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔵 The Dust Test: https://www.thedusttest.com 🔵 My Favorite Cleaning Products: https://www.homecleanse.com/shop/ 🔵 Remediation FREE Consultation: https://www.homecleanse.com/contact/ Learn More: https://www.themichaelrubino.com/ https://www.homecleanse.com/shop Let’s Connect...
