Active Symptoms
  • Chronic nasal congestion
  • Urination at night without an enlarged prostate
  • Unintentionally dropping objects
  • Occasional knee pains
  • Hair loss
  • Unexplained fatigue.

I saw specialists and did not receive any explanations.
Conventional laboratory results returned normal.

My symptoms were not able to be diagnosed by conventional medicine, nor was my family doctor or any specialist able to provide me advice on anti-aging or how to. improve health span. Due to my interest in health and wellness throughout my life, I diligently searched for answers. I found A4M – the American Academy of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine. I attended their conferences and courses and ultimately attained my board certification in Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine.

All these experiences and training led me to get functional medicine testing:

  • Hormone testing
  • Gut health testing
  • Organic acid testing
  • Environmental Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing
  • Genomic Testing
  • Biologic Age Testing
  • Elevated free cortisol levels
  • Thyroid resistance
  • Low testosterone.
  • Due to extreme stress and inflammation
  • Viral infection – Norovirus
  • Parasitic infection – Blastocystis
  • Bacterial imbalance or dysbiosis – overgrowth of Bacteroides Fragilis and scarcity of Lactobacillus
  • Exocrine pancreas insufficiency with decreased elastase
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction – ↑ lactate
  • Stress – ↑ neurotransmitter markers
  • Oxidative damage –↑ HPLA & 8OHdG
  • ↑ intestinal bacterial overgrowth markers
  • Yeast overgrowth –↑ d-arabinitol

ADIPOQ (rs17366568)- risk variant AG – for lower adiponectin and increased insulin resistance and higher blood sugar

IL-6 (rs1800795)- risk variant GG – for increased IL-6 cytokine production and increased inflammation triggered by stress, insufficient sleep, inappropriate exercise

GSTP 1 (rs1695) – risk variant AG –  for reduced Glutathione Sulfotransferase enzyme activity and elimination of environment toxins

Addressing these underlying causes has resolved or modulated my symptoms. Interventions used at the time included Gut Repair and Detoxification.
Gut Repair

Remove
Diet – anti-inflammatory, avoiding dairy, wheat, gluten, refined sugar Adding more greens, fiber, hydration, nuts

Detoxification

Chelation protocol using EDTA suppositories and oral DMSA Chlorella
Ongoing interventions include:

  • Diet – anti-inflammatory, avoiding dairy, wheat, gluten, refined sugar
  • Adding more greens, fiber, hydration, nuts
  • Exercise – High-intensity interval training
  • Sleep – when I do sleep, I sleep well, but I feel I always have items on my agenda that I need to get done
  • Destress – I usually have a healthy mindset – half full as opposed to half empty, but I now also engage in increasing my parasympathetics or vagal tone with breathwork
  • Vitamin supplementation – currently doing NUTRIPROZ
  • Detoxification – Using air and water filtration system. Chelation protocol using EDTA suppositories and oral DMSA at least once a year per labwork.
My current Anti-aging interventions that : (started 2024 after last Truage)

Promote Ampk activation/Mtor inhibition and/or autophagy include:

  • Using PROLON FMD 3 months cycle at least once /year
  • Cold water immersion (at least 11min/week)
  • Aerobic workout at moderate intensity for a 1 hr session /week
  • Time-restricted feeding at least 12 hrs/ day
  • Cook with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • Apple cider vinegar (ACV) 1 TBP twice daily
  • Supporting Gut health – ACV

  • Daily Shilajit or Fulvic acid (NUTRIPROZ custom supplement)
  • Daily Bodybio PC (Phospholipid Complex) 1 tsp daily
  • Creatine 5g daily

Finding and treating these health disturbances has significantly improved my quality of life and optimism for a healthier future.

I am dedicated to learning, innovation and compassionate care and have pursued further training and am now board-certified in Integrative Medicine. I obtained my Master of Science in Health Sciences Integrative Medicine from George Washington University. Currently, I am furthering my studies by interning with Dr. Elena Villanueva and Modern Holistic Health.

My vision for the future is one where everyone can live-out the latter part of their life with more vitality and much less suffering.
