This mission involves education, advocacy and, most of all, patient care using the best available science and practices. I have studied under Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a leading researcher and physician in the field of metabolic diseases from exposure to toxins in the environment. Through my podcasts on medicine and health, I have reached tens of thousands of providers and patients. My most recent project, Heal From Mold, is the first podcast dedicated exclusively to mold disease.
