In this pilot episode, I share my story of being let go after 24 years, without a word of thanks, and how that led me down the path of becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner, which I would NEVER have foreseen…and how along the way I have become very passionate about helping people heal, and wanting you to know the truth about our broken medical system and empowering you in your healing journey. The premise of this podcast to educate, empower and bring you the truth and guide you to being able to fully heal, rather than being given a pill to mask symptoms that you have to take for the rest of your life.   About the Host: Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures, but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins.
