Transforming Pain into Purpose: My Vision for a Healthier World
Life has a way of testing our resilience. As I sit here on my bathroom floor, facing another wave of physical challenges, I have two choices: give up or rise up. I choose to rise up—not just for myself but for everyone who deserves better health, better choices, and better support. Over the past few months, I've faced intense health challenges, spending countless days in and out of hospitals. My body has been in fight-or-flight mode, battling risks like ileus and dealing with a digestive system that's struggling to keep up. But this post isn’t about being a victim, it's not about me at all—it's away bigger than me and about finding strength, hope, and purpose in adversity.

Thanks to the stress protocol I learned from Dr. Bob Rakowski and the functional medicine knowledge I've gathered over the years from him and others, I'm still standing. While public healthcare has its limits, I refuse to let these challenges define me. Instead, I’m using them as fuel for a mission I believe can change the world.
A Mission to Revolutionize Wellness
My health journey has shown me how critical functional medicine and clean supplements are—not just for me, but for my children, my granddaughter, and humanity. Here’s what I’m determined to accomplish:
Launch a non-profit for wellness research and education: Imagine a world where pure, clean, bioavailable supplements are accessible to all, helping people lower stress levels and improve their health. This non-profit will support research, education, and innovation in the wellness field.
Advocate for Alternative Treatments: The wellness industry deserves representation. Functional medicine practitioners must have a louder voice, and humanity needs freedom to choose treatments beyond pharmaceuticals.
Expose the Supplement Industry's Dirty Secrets: Many supplements are filled with harmful additives, sweeteners, and preservatives. Fillers are profitable. It's time to shine a light on these practices and advocate for transparency. Read the label—your health depends on it.
Educate the World on Ingredient Scams: I will reveal how unsafe ingredients are approved and marketed as "safe." People deserve to know the truth about how ingredients are produced and approved and how the marketing is often a scam. People deserve to know what they’re consuming.
Challenge Corrupt Regulations: The unholy alliance between Big Pharma, Big Food, and governments must end. I’ll use my platform to bring whistleblowers forward and present undeniable facts.
Demand Accountability in Healthcare: From unregulated supplements to dangerous surgical practices, the health industry needs reform. Companies and surgeons must be held responsible for the harm they cause.
Make Wellness Education Accessible: Through events, conferences, workshops, and expert panels, I’ll ensure people have the knowledge to take control of their health.
Fight for Health Equity: Health shouldn’t be a luxury. I will advocate for affordable functional medicine treatments and better options in public healthcare systems. Functional medicine must be a part of the help we can choose from in public health care and collaborations between functional medicine and traditional medicine today need to start around the patient. A holistic approach must be the foundation of treatment.
What I’m Fighting For
Freedom of Choice: Everyone should have the right to choose treatments that work for their body, with coverage from insurance providers.
Functional Medicine in Schools: Imagine teaching children about nutrition, stress management, and functional medicine from a young age.
Transparency in Supplements, pharmaceuticals, and Vaccines: Clear labeling and accountability are non-negotiable. HIding the truth about ingredients MUST be illegal.
Support for Local Farmers and Clean Products: Ban harmful additives, Chemtrails and incentivize organic, bioavailable products.
Fair Taxation: Skyrocket VAT on junk food and eliminate VAT on health-promoting products and services.

Turning Adversity into Action
This is the beginning of a global movement together with others. I’m assembling a team of like-minded individuals ready to take bold action. Together, we will expose corruption, educate the public, and ensure future generations inherit a better, healthier world. I know other groups doing similar things around the globe, and it is time to organize and come together.

How You Can Help
This mission is bigger than me, and I can’t do it alone. Here’s how you can support:
Donate: Help fund research, advocacy, and education through different membership, or donations to my global non-profit.
Share Your Voice: Spread the word by sharing this post and joining the conversation.
Get Involved: Whether you’re a practitioner, educator, or concerned citizen, your expertise and support can make a difference.
If you are a practitioner, coach, stress coach, personal trainer, yoga teacher, chiropractor, kinesiologist, naturopath or anyone else helping others feel better, welcome to join Dr. Bob Rakowski's and me in our new initiative in STRESS RESET ACADEMY which will serve under my new non-profit organization.

Stress is a prevalent issue affecting individuals worldwide, with significant implications for both mental and physical health. Independent organizations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and The American Institute of Stress (AIS) provide comprehensive insights into the current state of stress among various populations.
Key Findings from the American Psychological Association (APA):
Stress Levels and Sources: The APA's "Stress in America 2024" survey reveals that 65% of adults identify housing costs as a significant source of stress, followed by mass shootings (63%), the spread of false news (62%), and social divisiveness (60%).
Amerikanska Psykologiska Föreningen
Impact of Current Events: The survey indicates that 77% of adults report the economy as a primary source of anxiety, with 73% expressing concern over the 2024 U.S. presidential election and 69% distressed by gun violence.
Amerikanska Psykologiska Föreningen
Insights from The American Institute of Stress (AIS):
Workplace Stress: AIS reports that job stress costs U.S. employers over $300 billion annually due to absenteeism, turnover, decreased productivity, and associated medical costs.
Coping Mechanisms: Data shows that 51% of U.S. adults engage in prayer as a routine activity to manage stress, while 49% endure stressful situations as a coping behavior.
Global Perspective:
A Gallup poll highlighted by AIS found that in 2021, four in ten adults worldwide experienced significant worry or stress, marking an increase in global stress levels.
These findings underscore the pervasive nature of stress and its multifaceted impact on individuals and societies. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective strategies to manage stress and promote mental well-being.
The Power of Collective Action
This isn’t just my story—it’s a call to action for all of us. Together, we can demand change, protect our health, and create a world where wellness is a right, not a privilege. Let’s rise up, challenge the status quo, and build a healthier future for generations to come.
