Alex’s health journey began with migraines, nausea, vomiting, chronic fatigue, extreme food aversions, anxiety, insomnia, and air hunger, which eventually led to a diagnosis of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, Placenta Previa, Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Throughout her journey, she learned these labels could be traced to a single root cause- inflammation. Alex discovered that by increasing the body's resiliency and creating a stronger terrain, we decrease our susceptibilities. After overcoming these diagnoses and finding full healing, she created Elliott Ray Holistic Wellness, a virtual practice supporting families walking through chronic illness. Alex is a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Bioenergetic Practitioner, and educator. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🔵 The Dust Test: https://www.thedusttest.com🔵 My Favorite Cleaning Products: https://www.homecleanse.com/shop/🔵 Remediation FREE Consultation: https://www.homecleanse.com/contact/Learn More:https://www.themichaelrubino.com/ https://www.homecleanse.com/shopLet’s Connect...Website: https://www.themichaelrubino.com/contact/IG: https://www.instagram.com/themichaelrubino/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themichaelrubinoFB: https://www.facebook.com/themichaelrubino/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themichaelrubino/
