I was diagnosed with early onset lupus, Hashimoto, and fibromyalgia, as well as unexplained infertility when I was 30 years old. If this can happen to me, I don't know how, but I can unwind it.

because we built these programs, these online courses for people. But I also do visualize and see that I will be speaking in front of thousands of people in stadium style groups and that people are going to become more conscious through this work because so much of, you know, How we show up in the world is how we feel, how we're vibrating at a cellular level.

So in the Institute, we really merge the work of let the body heal the mind. You know, we have to work on the physical, the energetic, the emotional aspects. And so I just see a big shift of awareness happening. I see a big shift of taking personal and radical responsibility for your health.

Yeah, I would say my goal is that regenerative health becomes common.

Yeah, instead of people saying, what is regenerative health, it will be, hey, have you tried regenerative health?

It was a biohacking conference every other day.

I really think, for me, legacy is can you make an imprint and an impact that lasts way past your existence and your lifetime, right? What are the ripples that you're making in the world? And so I really believe that I'm leaving behind a legacy of hope, of health sovereignty, of wealth sovereignty. These are the things that make us ill. It's financial stress, emotional stress, physical stress.

My legacy to me is being able to leave behind an imprint that will transform for lifetimes.

So they can reach out to us at info at instituteofregenerativehealth.com. We train our practitioners to be super well equipped with the toolkit. And then we've actually developed this completely online backend system called RegenPro for the regenerative professional.

So we've actually built an entire platform where everything exists for them, all their courses, their legal waivers, their health questionnaires, their quizzes, their workflows, their websites, everything's there. So we can turnkey that business for them.

You have to have contracts. So what I, what my vision was behind that is the things that were the hardest for me, which was, I always say I teach not tech. And to this day, I still say that because tech isn't my passion. Why am I going to spend a hundred hours trying to figure out how to build a website? And most people don't have the capital upfront.

And that something shifted in my body or in my emotions or whatever that created this.

So I took all the hardest things, the legal, the contracts, the questionnaires, the workflows, the websites, and we just did it for them. So that it's, you know, it's plug your picture and plug your links in and you're good to go. And so I wanted to take away that health and success is only for the elite that can invest in it. And I wanted to make it accessible to everybody.

Yeah, I think in my episode, you're going to learn some incredible insights about the body and learning the body in a totally different way. Everybody's focusing on the chemical view. I'm going to show you how to focus on the electric view and how that mobile potential really connects into illness or wellness.

And also just tools and tricks to understand how to manage and like study your own health from home.

Like you will learn kidney filtration, how to look at your urine to see if your lymph is working and kidneys are working right. How to tell if your liver is stagnated. I mean, these are things that most people go to doctors for. They don't understand how their body works. And we have to keep it so much simpler because it really is.

So much work.

Yeah, I'd love to. So it really started with my own journey as per usual, right? We get into our passion because of some sort of evolution that needs to happen within ourselves. So I was diagnosed with early onset lupus, Hashimoto and fibromyalgia, as well as unexplained infertility when I was 30 years old.

And so I just remember this feeling in my body of like the shock of that diagnosis and being so young. And I was a mother of two at the time. And being told I was infertile when I knew I had children before. And so I just had this moment that came over me after the grief and the shock wore off of understanding and knowing that if this can happen to me, I don't know how, but I can unwind it.

And that something shifted in my body or in my emotions or whatever that created this. And so that really set out my journey to learning how to heal myself. And that was what I did. And so I studied with endocrinologists, rheumatologists, hormone specialists, functional medicine doctors.

And it really wasn't until I found the work of regenerative detox that I was able to reverse every single condition naturally and in a very short period of time.

I was given, well, when I was diagnosed, I was given immunosuppressants, thyroid medication, steroids, and testosterone.

That was like, she was like, okay, here you go. You can, if you take this, you'll just live a relatively normal but shorter life. And that was just like an average Tuesday.

And I just remember feeling like, okay, this is not the trajectory for me. And so once I learned how to heal my own body, it became a mission. Like everyone needs to know that this is possible for them. And it's so much easier than we're making it.

she also operates the wise wellness holistic clinic empowering people to take control of their health and transform their lives i saw first time in history we've gone backwards in life expectancy so you got a lot of work to do i really believe that i'm leaving behind a legacy of hope of health sovereignty of wealth sovereignty you know these are the things that make us ill it's you know financial stress emotional stress physical stress so legacy to me is

Well, yeah, it's because we're taught that it's genetic. We're taught that, oh, it's genetic or this just happens, we don't know. And that's because in Western medicine, we study disease. We don't study health.

And so it's a backwards model.

1,000%.

I'll let you go there. Yeah, yeah. But that really is what it is. We're studying disease models. We're not studying wellness. So doctors aren't educated on how to keep the body well. They're educated on how to treat symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs. Yeah.

So what option is right for you? Is it the regenerative health, get to the root cause path? Is it take more naturopathic supplements and cover up the symptoms a bit more naturally? Or is it take a pharmaceutical pill because you don't want to change? And none of those are wrong. It's just knowing that you have those options.

I think that's part of why we're gifted those experiences though. Like I really believe that the reason I was handed these diagnoses is so that I could bring this work into the world. And yeah, it was really hard. I totally did some of the craziest detoxes for six months, people.

Well, I ate 100% red grapes.

For 80 days.

And then did a 40-day red grape juice and lime juice.

It's insane. But before we write it off, I am impatient. So I want results now. I want to know how to get there the fastest. And it was about cleaning the body as quickly.

Resveratrol.

Resveratrol and they're one of the most powerful antioxidants, polyphenols, carotenoids. So it's literally bringing so much electric energy into your cells and detoxifying and cleaning.

Cherries are amazing for you. Yeah. So fruit is like what cleans the body. And then, you know, there's a time for cleaning, there's a time for building, and then there's a time for maintenance. So I don't live on red grapes anymore, but I did red grapes in conjunction with a bunch of herbals and plant algae supports to make sure my body was fully supported, but it was an acute phase.

It was really hard, but then I reversed three chronic diseases and got pregnant.

Being able to leave behind an imprint that will transform for lifetimes.

A hundred percent. A lot of people are on an addition protocol. I was like, I'm going to take this supplement. I'm going to take this thing, but that's not getting to the root. And for me, my story was actually, I was a, I was like a quote unquote vegan eater, ate no processed food, but exercised every single day, like really hard.

So for me, the disease or the dis-ease as I call it, didn't make sense. Like, why do I have this? I exercise, I eat well. But it was really not understanding underneath all of that. The fundamentals under that was my kidneys weren't filtering right. My lymphatic system was backed up and overwhelmed. The harder I exercise, the more I tanked my adrenal glands. So it's really understanding.

Yeah. I was teaching at that time, 17 hot yoga classes a week, a week and like with weights and my, my hormones were all. And so it was actually me having to pull back on the exercise and get my kidneys to open up. A lot of people don't know what kidney filtration is and that's where the lymphatic drain is.

And so my lymph system was backed up from a lifetime of pharmaceuticals, poor choices in college and young adulthood, you know, it's, it's a compounding effect.

They do. And I'm living proof of that.

Now I own the Institute of Regenerative Health, which was never in the cards. It just, it was sort of an evolution. You know, first I opened a clinical practice where I met with people in coffee shops and at my house and then slowly rented a room and then opened Wise Wellness Clinic. And the clinic still lives today.

I'm, I'm retired from that, but I have amazing practitioners and they're running it.

And it was in the pandemic actually where our clinic was deemed non-essential and the rug was pulled out from underneath me. My full primary income was gone. I had a wait list months long for people with chronic illness. And I just had this voice drop in saying, Carrie, train people.

And actually it was, if I would have just been stuck in that rabbit hole of seeing 40, 50, 60 people a week, I never would have had the space to create what I created.

So our clinic has recovered. It's running. And now we have the Institute of Regenerative Health. And so what I do now is I've stepped fully into the education role. I train and certify people that want to become regenerative health practitioners that want to build a career in natural health and a career in a totally different way. So my passion was not the burnout.

not to build more practitioners that are seeing one client at a time they're burnt out they're exhausted they're at a ceiling for their income and so we built one of the most in-depth knowledge-based systems inside our institute and a full business in a box where people can have online courses immediately when they graduate that they can run 30 40 50 women or

You're making your money, but you have no life.

Exactly. Like you can help 40 people a week or you can help 100,000. And that's the beauty of online reach.

And then you see the test.

Yeah. That's really what I do now is all I train practitioners, but I have tons of DIY evergreen programs. I just got sent a message this morning, actually, of somebody that so she was a patient of mine years ago and then started working with a lot of my programs. But she had Graves disease. And so they eradicate the irradiated thyroid. So killed it with radiation.

She brought her thyroid back to life through our protocols. And now as a completely normal functioning thyroid for the last year, she sent me her panels for the whole year. She's like, I cannot pick it up. So stuff like that. It's like, you can't do that one-on-one. There's just too many people in the world.

I get chills when you say that, but I honestly think that regenerative health is going to take over the natural health industry. I really see that the Institute is probably the most elaborate education you can get in natural health because we focus on not just the biochemical view of the body, the electric view of the body. We focus on the toolkit. We have the business.

We focus on the energetics, the emotions, the fascia.

They're like, what is regenerative health?

So regenerative health is really getting to the root cause of a problem and reversing it at the source instead of taking a supplement or putting on a Band-Aid. So I'll give you a quick example. If you have poor digestion, you know, you might get told by your doctor to take Pepto-Bismol. It's going to just destroy your gut. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If you go to a naturopath, they're probably going to give you hydrochloric acid in a natural form, like maybe pruritus labs or something like that. And although your digestion will get better from that supplement, that's not the real problem.

Why are you not producing enough enzymes? Why is your gut, you know, what's going on in the mucous membrane of the gut lining that the gastric glands aren't working? That's regenerative health.

100%.

Yeah.

So I think the Institute is going to take over in the natural health industry. It's going to be the program that everyone is going to work in this way. And I think we're redefining health and wealth. So the way that I built the business out for people, I think we're going to, you know, the more money in the right hands of the right people is how we change the world.

And that's my goal is that people have health and wealth sovereignty. So I think we're going to end really taking over the natural health industry in a way of like sovereign career.
