About Us

“Just after finding out I (Adrienne) was expecting our first & only child, my husband Andy took a rapid downward spiral into multiple autoimmune diseases.

Most outwardly affected were his hands, which flared up into never-ending blisters, open wounds and severe inflammation. As a personal trainer and bass player in a rock band, Andy was unable to do what he truly loved- play bass and assist personal training clients- for the better part of two years, as the constant pain in his hands was debilitating.”

“In early 2015, we both were experiencing worse health. I (Adrienne) tried to excuse it away as fatigue from having a new baby, hormones, diet, shifting from full-time career to being a work-from-home Mama. But Andy got worse, to the point of not being able to do much more than sleep and now experiencing multiple severe symptoms.

The medication list, doctor's visits & bills piled up (and we were told repeatedly that Andy's condition would always be present, regardless of diet or lifestyle). We didn’t accept this as our family’s fate and believed God had more for us than to “just survive” with symptoms for the rest of our lives, and we went on a mission to research, pray and find answers. One of our dear holistic friends suggested we test the home we were living in for mold. After reading up about mold toxicity, seeing that many of our symptoms matched up, and doing LOTS of research on autoimmune illness as a result of mold toxicity and leaky gut caused by mold, reports confirmed our suspicion: 6 toxic strains plus numerous others showed up in our home. We were both relieved and horrified at the same time! What had already started in Andy's body had gotten much worse in this new house- the house that we had excitedly moved into made us both very sick, and when our new little one, Xavier, was born June 2014, it wasn't long before he started showing signs of gut issues, too. Now that we had an idea of “what,” it was time to find answers on “how” — how to heal, how to move on, how to get “un-stuck” from this nightmare of bad health.”

“Desperate, we tried any and every elimination diet, detox, muscle testing, juice cleanse we could find; we threw out any and all chemicals in our house; visited all kinds of doctors from allergists to chiropractors to MD to herbalists. After a dozen different docs, lots of bills, and many saying, "you'll always deal with this, your diet and environment have nothing to do with this, you'll just need to take these medications," we KNEW there was a better way. We refused to believe that staying medicated and suffering side effects was the answer, all-the-while seeing a trend that didn't address diet, stress management, environment in the mainstream medical world. We knew that if we were getting frustrated and not receiving help & hope, there had to be others in the same situation who wanted options beyond just medication.

 We became our own health advocates, partnering with an incredible functional medical doctor in Nashville (and since then have worked with another great functional practitioner + now a phenomenal naturopathic doctor). We both followed strict autoimmune protocols, overhauling everything the mold touched in our old home, moving out, starting the process of detoxing from candida overgrowth and leaky gut-induced issues brought on by toxic mold, and making significant lifestyle changes so our health as a family could be restored.”

“We are seeing better health through all we've pursued, maneuvering through some overwhelming waters to find holistic solutions. We still learn new things daily and we’re an open book about our journey! We aren't 100%, as we have occasional flare-ups with our autoimmune issues, but we are doing much better and these days symptoms are much easier to manage. And now, we want to help others in their journey. We believe we're meant to honor God in His goodness to us, to share, encourage and help others who are desperate to get their health, energy, and LIFE back.

Autoimmune conditions are rising at an alarming rate, and it takes an average of 18 months and numerous doctors to diagnose these issues, all the while the person experiencing autoimmune continues to lose hope. This needs to change! Over half of US adults have pre-existing and chronic disease of some kind, and now autoimmune conditions are showing up more frequently in our children. Friend, time is precious and our hope is to help others so they do not have to experience what we went through, to gain some of that time and life back, to help people find confidence in becoming their own health advocate, and finding the balance between natural solutions and medical remedies.

We believe that our bodies were created to heal if we make room for them to do so. That means making better choices in diet, supplementation, activities, reducing stress and toxic load in our bodies and environment, and sometimes overhauling your entire lifestyle. This didn't happen overnight for us; it was incremental changes that have all added up, and our health isn't perfect but it's been remarkably restored. We look back with gratitude and amazement at how far we've come, all three of us. We know that for our son, starting him at such a young age on this healthy track sets him up for an advantage for the rest of his life.

Are you looking for natural solutions for your own health journey? Overwhelmed? Not sure where to get started? We're here to help you and encourage you. We want to make holistic solutions EASY for you to find, to understand and to use.”
