About Melissa Mullamphy:
I had a lot of jobs in life starting at the age of 14. I filled grocery bags, played the drums in an all-girl heavy metal thrash band, sold lottery tickets, got a Master’s degree in counseling psychology, worked in a psychiatric emergency room, led various non-profit events, and ran group therapy. I settled in corporate America as a Domestic Operations Manager for just shy of 20 years in a profession that had nothing to do with my degree, traveling the country in limousines, airplanes and did a lot of fine dining. Sounds important, right? Or dysfunctional, you pick.
Nothing could prepare me to watch my Mother die and suffer for eight months from ovarian cancer. No job, no fancy degree, no experience.
Like me, this book is eclectic. I call it a memoir/ self-help. My goal is to keep the promise that I made to my Mom, one late night in her hospital room while she was suffering yet another complication of the shit diagnosis of cancer.
You will learn what my family learned the hard way while being by my Mother’s side the entire time. All of it. The mistakes, the emotion, false hope, the waits, and the love we all shared as a family unit at the most heartbreaking time of my life.
Each chapter represents every month from diagnosis to death, and lessons and tips to help you advocate for your loved ones through example, find your voice, and understand your rights in a very complicated, fucked up, and imperfect healthcare system.

About Erica Hoke:
Erica Hoke is the infertile mother of 4 boys, all born to her as a “geriatric” pregnant lady. After struggling for years with undiagnosed endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, unable to participate in traditional IUI or IVF methods, she was able to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle.
Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Dissatisfied with the way reproductive endocrinology (REI) medicine handles common infertility issues, Erica is determined to disrupt the entire reproductive medical system. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments.

Norm Robillard, Ph.D. (Norman John Robillard), Founder of Digestive Health Institute, is a gut health expert, author, and microbiologist.

Dr. Norm received his Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst studying Bacillus anthracis and other Bacillus species. His post-doctoral training at Tufts University, Boston, focused on antibiotic resistance gene transfer. He was the first to demonstrate the transfer of genes (via conjugation) between the anaerobic gut microbes Bacteroides fragilis and E. coli.
During his career in pharma/biotech, Dr. Norm studied the mechanisms of antibiotic action and the genetics of antibiotic resistance. His work contributed to the development and approval of ciprofloxacin, a life-saving antibiotic. However, he always recommended a cautious approach with antibiotics balancing the benefits with the risks and side effects.
Beyond antibiotics, Dr. Norm worked on various other projects, including septic shock, viral illnesses and other antibiotics, antiviral and antibody-based therapies.

About Dr. Meg:
I’m Meg Mill, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Doctor of Pharmacy, and mom of three. I’ve been there, I get it and I’m here to HELP YOU!
My practice is focused on helping people reset their digestion, reduce inflammatory symptoms, balance hormones, get more energy, reduce anxiety and restore their immune systems.
A healthy lifestyle and preventative care have always been my passion. I graduated with a PharmD in 2002 from Duquesne University and continued with a residency at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. I had several other clinical pharmacist positions and have seen patients popping so many pills while getting sicker and more frustrated.
After almost 20 years in conventional medicine, I have grown confident there is another way. For this reason, I embarked on a journey to gain knowledge in the field of Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition.
I am passionate about empowering people to take control of their lives, starting with their health. As your partner in this journey, I will dig deep to understand the underlying cause of your concerns, instead of merely alleviating your symptoms. My ultimate goal is to provide you with the tools that you need to live and sustain your healthiest life.
I see people locally and nationally through zoom.

About Michael Anthony:
I didn’t sign up to be the spokesman for survivors of child abuse. In fact, this job sucks. I mean that.
The truth is that the universe chose me for this role. I have been gifted the ability to navigate the most harsh and vicious child abuse to come out on the other side seemingly whole. I say seemingly because there will always be a part of me that was stolen. I cannot get that back. None of the rage, drugs, sex, rock n’ roll, or anger will give me that thing that was stolen.
The world is both beautiful and brutal and I have seen the best and the worst of it. I know that the abuse I suffered has given me an undeniable strength that I was only able to tap into after falling face first into complete darkness.
There is truth in understanding that Mindset is Everything. There are no shortcuts, trust me I’ve tried them all. There is hard work and on the backside of that is getting your life back.
Think Unbroken is about sharing the tools and skills I have created and leveraged over a lifetime to help other people break free of The Vortex and become the person that they know they are capable of being. If I can do it then anyone can.

About Rob Vanbergen:
If anyone could be the poster child for the effectiveness of natural pain resolution and microcurrent therapy, it would be Rob Vanbergen. As a child, Rob suffered from both debilitating anxiety and extensive scoliosis issues. Neither holistic nor conventional medical remedies brought relief. But when Rob discovered the Hache Protocol for Pain Resolution™ and followed it, his issues were resolved. He now enjoys vibrant and lasting physical and mental health.
Rob has also found the Protocol to be invaluable in parenting his autistic son, James. He has found that James readily accepts the gentle procedures introduced by these therapies, which help bring on a state of relaxed calm that eases the stresses of everyday life. Rob also used it when an incident in James’ life resulted in a broken foot. After just two weeks of microcurrent therapy his foot had healed completely. Doctors agreed that it was a near-miraculous recovery.
After experiencing the healing properties of The Hache Protocol™, Rob joined Dr. John and Dr. Lorry Hache at Pacific Health Options. He obtained his Bachelors in Holistic Health Sciences from Quantum University in Hawaii in 2019. In addition to his knowledge and certification in Microcurrent Therapy, Rob is a Certified HHP (Holistic Healthcare Practitioner) with training in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Hypnotherapy, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy, Auriculotherapy, and Counselling. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Natural Medicine.
A veteran instructor on the use of the Hache Protocol for Pain Resolution ™ Rob has devoted his professional life to educating people about the effectiveness of natural pain management methods in relieving pain and anxiety and initiating healing in the body.

About Stella Lawless:
I was born on Halloween, the day traditionally thought to be when the veil between the worlds is thinnest. I was raised by witches (women, men, and more creatively gendered folks who practice eclectic earth-based spirituality founded on creativity, ancient wisdom, common sense and the power of intuition). As a result, my work is rooted in a vast and rich ancestral lineage (as is everything we do, if only we take note). I was given my first tarot deck when I was 11 and have studied astrology since around that time. One of my earliest memories is of my father reading from an astrology book while we all sat in the kitchen and listened. I have been doing this work professionally since 2007. I seek to bring practical and intuitive knowing together in service to the highest good of all. A deep bow of gratitude to all the ancestors, spirits, allies, angels, beloved ones and teachers who have led me down this path and who have led you here.

About Owen Dockham:
Hi, I'm Owen. I started Live Oak Strength and co-founded EverStrongSF with Abe Williams. We use science and robots to help make people stronger - safely, efficiently and with a dash of humor. We don't do trends or fitness fads. If you're busy like everyone else, I have good news for you. You do not need to go to the gym 3-6 days a week to turn your health around. In fact, that strategy usually makes people fatter, sicker, less fit and more likely to burn out and get sick all the time.
When your workouts are personalized to you and supervised by one of my expert strength training instructors at either of our two locations, just one or two twenty-minute workouts a week will get you to your strongest and healthiest genetic potential in record time. I'm not joking around here. This is serious stuff.
My team of instructors have decades of combined experience helping people make some serious improvements in their quality of life with efficient, focused evidenced base strength training. Like I said before, all it takes is twenty minutes once or twice a week to make profoundly impactful progress.

About Elena Irueta:
From the first time I learned about Ayurveda, I knew it was something I wanted to study. One day, my husband introduced me to an Ayurvedic Practitioner for a consultation. I hadn't even heard of Ayurveda, but I was open to alternative medicine. As soon as the practitioner started explaining Ayurveda to me, it clicked! It was so logical and it made sense to me based on all I have experienced with my own health challenges.
In 1996, I was diagnosed with a chronic intestinal disease and over the years I've tried different forms of complimentary medicines. While they've been helpful, I find Ayurveda is more complete and it has taken me to another level of caring for myself.
So, following a rewarding 15-year career in Finance, I decided to pursue a career in Ayurveda and started my Ayurvedic practice in 2009. My desire is to share this ancient and beautiful form of medicine with others.
I live in San Francisco and enjoy a healthy lifestyle with my husband, Marty Morales, who is also in complimentary health by way of Rolfing & Bodywork.

About Claudia Comerci:
My own spiritual journey led me to my work in the healing arts. I learned a variety of modalities, both body centered and those with a focus on energy. I apprenticed with a shamanic practitioner and participated in various Earth healing practices. As I reconnected with the natural world I spent more time in nature and began using flower essences as a personal support system. I was overjoyed when I started co-creating my own essences. At times I felt these allies from the nature kingdom literally kept me on this earth! Then came the study of visionary craniosacral therapy which has become one of my great loves. My love and study of astrology continues to grow and is a lens that informs my sessions. I continue to have the honor of studying with amazing teachers and guides in all these fields, both from the seen and unseen world. Almost twenty years later, I am still learning and growing. That will never stop! I have created AstroSoma sessions as a means to encompass all my loves and passions and offer them to my clients in support of their spiritual journey of self-knowledge.

Why dietary restriction matters:
Our work has relevance to certain age-related human diseases, including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney stone formation, intestinal diseases, and obesity. There is an ongoing debate about the limitation of lifespan as a measure of aging and the need to assess healthspan to find the most promising interventions for humans. Through functional measures of different tissue functions and disease models, we are also examining the relationship between healthspan and lifespan.

About Claudia Comerci:
My own spiritual journey led me to my work in the healing arts. I learned a variety of modalities, both body centered and those with a focus on energy. I apprenticed with a shamanic practitioner and participated in various Earth healing practices. As I reconnected with the natural world I spent more time in nature and began using flower essences as a personal support system. I was overjoyed when I started co-creating my own essences. At times I felt these allies from the nature kingdom literally kept me on this earth! Then came the study of visionary craniosacral therapy which has become one of my great loves. My love and study of astrology continues to grow and is a lens that informs my sessions. I continue to have the honor of studying with amazing teachers and guides in all these fields, both from the seen and unseen world. Almost twenty years later, I am still learning and growing. That will never stop! I have created AstroSoma sessions as a means to encompass all my loves and passions and offer them to my clients in support of their spiritual journey of self-knowledge.

About Leanne Woehkle:
I have been on a quest for health and wellness for as long as I can remember. I’ve travelled half way around the globe in search of answers, only to realize I could have found what I was looking for right at home. The problem was, my mind just wasn’t still enough, and I wasn’t listening, or asking the right questions.
My yoga mat has been a path to the center of truth. It has been my vehicle for self-discovery for over 22 years. I love sharing this practice because of the profound benefits I've witnessed students experience. I opened EPIC in an attempt to help others find more inspiration, peace, health and balance in their lives. I hope you will find that, plus so much more here.
