Why I said NO to the COVID Vaccine and why I believe in the power of plants.
When the COVID vaccine was first rolled out, the pressure to comply was intense. People were scared, willing to do whatever they were told in hopes of protecting themselves and their families. But I stood firm. I didn’t give in—nor did I let my girls. I know they felt uneasy about my strong stance, especially with fear sweeping the nation, but my decision wasn’t based on impulse. It was based on years of research, my deep understanding of the body’s ability to heal, and my unwavering belief in true wellness.
Why Did I Say No?
For two years before COVID, I had been immersed in studying nutrition, functional medicine, and the power of the body to restore itself when given the right tools. By the time the vaccine became available, I had already learned so much about inflammation, immune function, and how pharmaceuticals can impact long-term health. I knew that true health doesn’t come from a shot. It comes from nourishing our bodies, supporting our immune systems, and reducing toxic burden.
I also personally know several people who have been suffering from various health issues since receiving the vaccine. I’m talking about heart conditions, autoimmune diseases, neurological symptoms, menstrual irregularities, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and worsened inflammatory conditions. Some have even developed POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) —a condition I was formally diagnosed with in 2012, long before COVID existed. I have worked with individuals who developed similar symptoms following vaccination, as well as those experiencing Long-COVID after illness.
Long COVID, or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC), refers to a range of symptoms that persist for months after recovering from the acute phase of a COVID-19 infection. It can affect multiple organ systems and varies from person to person. Some common symptoms of Long-COVID include:
● Fatigue (often severe and worsened by exertion)
● Brain fog (difficulty concentrating, memory issues)
● Shortness of breath
● Chest pain or heart palpitations
● Joint and muscle pain
● Sleep disturbances
● Loss of taste or smell
● Digestive issues (nausea, diarrhea, bloating)
● Dizziness, headaches, or migraines
● Anxiety, depression, or mood changes
● Autoimmune-like symptoms (persistent inflammation, reactivation of other viruses like Epstein-Barr)
If You’re Struggling, You’re Not Alone
I know how frustrating it is to feel like your body isn’t functioning the way it should—especially when conventional medicine doesn’t have answers. But you don’t have to accept feeling unwell as your new normal. There are natural, science-backed ways to reduce inflammation, balance the immune system, and support the body’s innate ability to heal as it was designed to.
Through targeted nutrition, functional medicine, and holistic therapies, I help people restore their health, regain energy, and take back control of their well-being. Healing is possible.
