Imagine gaining 40 pounds through the course of a single day.
For Amie Valpone, a case of edema— swelling caused by excessive
fluid trapped in the body’s tissues — started her on a medical
journey that took 10 years to resolve. Amie went to top hospitals
and doctors to try to figure out what was causing her legs to
swell, but no one could pinpoint and resolve the issue. On top of
that, her body would become inflamed when she ate and she was put
on multiple antibiotics for a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
SIBO and candida.
Then, in 2011, she contracted C.diff (a bacterium that’s common in
people who take antibiotics over a long period of time) and was
given 24 hours to live. From that point on, Valpone vowed to
dedicate her life to helping others find the cause of their disease
and use integrative medicine to heal. Valpone tells WellBe they
found everything from mold to heavy metals to leaky gut to
polycystic ovarian syndrome PCOS and a handful of other diagnoses,
including Lyme.
Now a holistic health coach, Amie also puts on her expert hat and
talks with Adrienne about why detoxing and going on a juice cleanse
aren’t the same thing, how insurance fits into a holistic approach
to wellness, how to eat healthy in restaurants and what to look out
for, and why she won't go near a salad bar.
