How she helps people get to the root cause of their health problems. What many epidemiologists focus on including community health, cancer, virology, longevity, and chronic illness. Her tragic experience going into septic shock from internal bleeding during a routine surgery, surviving death, and shifting her focus on life. Michelle's mission to help adolescents, especially young adults get on a path to whole person health for the rest of their lives. Why Elizabeth believes she developed kidney stones at the young age of 23 years old and as a woman due to her lifestyle habits as a child into adulthood. The impact that chronic dehydration and a diet high in protein can have in contributing to the formation of kidney stones. How her over the top work ethic and lack of a healthy social support group impacted her wellbeing as an undergrad and graduate student. Her PTSD after her kidney stone surgery and how it took her many years to fully heal that trauma emotionally and mentally. Common poor health trends she is seeing and why it isn't just physical or emotional symptoms but a combination. The negative impact of mainstream medicine and how it has stripped people of hope with all of the trauma they have experienced from it.
