Nurse Finds Expert Tribe to Launch Functional Medicine Practice for Chronic Illness

Hi, I'm Denise Pronesti. I'm from Ewa Beach, Hawaii on the island of O'ahu and I work as a nurse. I would like the paradigm to be broken. I mean, I think it's already broken and a lot of people are broken in their health journeys and they're just getting worse. I'd like for people to be more open-minded. Not only patients but providers. To put their egos aside and look outside the box. Try to put western medicine on the side and look at some more functional options for people. I've lived that with my own family with their health issues and been studying functional medicine for probably twelve years or more now and I'm ready to launch a practice to help other people. Especially moms who have autistic kids because that is ridiculous. I never heard the word until my kid got diagnosed and the rate was 1 in 110 then and I was astounded. I said, "1 in 110? What if kids had cancer at that rate? People would be screaming but nobody's screaming." The rate right now is 1 in 35. 1 in 35 kids is gonna have autism. I came here thinking I was gonna get trained on protocols and I had no idea of all this transformational energy work and energies and emotions and all these other things that have come up and it's just been amazing. It's been a very amazing weekend, it really has. it was nothing what I expected. Yeah, I think this was a kick in the butt to get started, to get going. That I finally found my tribe. I found the tribe of experts that can actually help me launch it, help me create it, help me not make the mistakes that they made which is just phenomenal. They have an interest in functional medicine and they actually have an interest or passion to actually help people that are chronically ill and undiagnosed.
