The interview

What was your life like before working with Dr. Brandy?

I had recently been diagnosed with dermatomyositis, an autoimmune that attacks your skin and your muscles. No one could really cure and give me anything to stop my body from turning purple. Once the medication subsided the purple aspect, my face was blistering at certain points during the year.

Why did you choose to trust Dr. Brandy?

What made me trust Dr. Brandy is that she actually went through what I went through. She healed herself from different mold toxicities and had to find out and cure herself. That is someone who I was looking for.

Did you have any hesitations before starting?

If I had any hesitations at all, it was originally the cost, but talking with Dr. Brandy and experiencing everything that I've been through before I started with her, I knew that this was the best thing for me. I knew that this was my hope and I said my health is worth it.

What other treatments had you tried in the past?

I tried following traditional medicine, but any medication that I was put on was only a band-aid. When I went back into the same environment, I had reactions again. I ended up going from medications to IVIG infusions, and that's when I knew there was something more and I needed to dig deeper.

What surprised you most about the experience?

What surprised me the most was how caring she really is and how she really wanted to get down to the bottom of every issue. She is very open and honest.

How has your health changed since working with her?

I recently had labs done and the autoimmune that I was told would not go away and I'd be living with is now negative. I am cleared from head to toe of my autoimmune disease and I'm lowering medication and weaning myself off. I feel like I'm a completely different person.

How has this impacted your daily life and career?

I'm able to live my life with my kids out in the sun, enjoying summer. I have energy and I'm not dragging falling asleep through the middle of the day. As far as my career, I realized I needed to be in a different environment, so I am switching to a brand new school to continue my health in a positive direction.

It's an autoimmune that attacks your skin and your muscles. So I was going through a period where no one could really cure and give me anything to stop my body from turning purple. My body, my skin, everything was purple. And once the medication actually subsided the purple aspect, reacting where my face was blistering and the blisters would only happen at certain points during the year. And that's when I needed somebody who was going to get to the bottom of this. And that's when I turned to Dr. Brandy and said, I need her help. what made me trust Dr. Brandy and go with her is that she actually went through what I went through. She healed herself from different mold toxicities and had to find out and cure herself. And that is someone who I was looking for. So if I had any hesitations at all, it was originally the cost, but talking with Dr. Brandy and experiencing everything that I've been through before I started with her, I knew that this was the best thing for me. I knew that this was my hope and I said my health is worth it and I need to invest this time and money into everything that she's telling me. Things that I actually did try in the past that didn't work for me were following traditional medicine, any medication that I was put on, it was only a band-aid. And then when I went back into the same environment, I had reactions again. And again, they would switch and I ended up going from medications to IVIG infusions. And that's when I knew that there was something more and I needed to dig deeper. What surprised me the most about working with Dr. Brandy at Resilient Motherhood was how caring she really is and how she really wanted to get down to the bottom of every issue and not only that but how open and honest she is.

Providing myself with a better situation and working environment to continue my health in the positive direction instead of reverting back to the same situation that was causing me to be sick. Highly recommend Dr. Brandy because she is so supportive and understanding. She is determined to figure out the root cause and she is so willing to work with every situation that you're going through. She has healed me and I'm completely different from where I was two years ago. I recently had labs done and the autoimmune that I was told would not go away and I'd be living with is now negative. I am cleared from head to toe of my autoimmune disease and I'm lowering medication and weaning myself off.
