I am Dr. Alice Feldman, a functional medicine doctor, and just like you reading this I ended up with challenging health problems. 

My illnesses are what led me on this path to help those like me who want to be vibrant, energized, happy, and functional.

Today I live a happy and healthy life, but my early story looked very different from where I am today.

I Became Sick, And Nobody Knew How to Help Me

When I was 3 years old, my parents moved into my old grandparent’s house. I remember playing in the huge dark hall with my childhood friends and if we could open the floor door that led to the basement under the house, we would see the basement space completely filled with filthy black mold-smelling water. Our family lived in this water damaged house, invaded by black mold, for 10 years.

When I was 14  I was diagnosed with life-threatening  IBS and Ulcerative Colitis and my face and scalp were covered in eczema and psoriasis. 

I remember laying in bed, desperately trying to muster the energy to get up. Even though I would sleep more than 10 hours at night, I felt like I needed 10 hours more. 

Being able to function each day felt impossible.

Everything in my body hurt; even my glands ached. I felt like I was weighed down by a ton of bricks. There were times I would limp along on sore joints and tender feet to go to the bathroom just in time to experience bloody diarrhea. I felt so embarrassed. 

I avoided going to school, and being seen by my friends; Instead,I was hiding in my room, being embarrassed by my uncontrollable diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, and eczema with red, inflamed, flaky skin over my whole face and scalp.

While I was struggling with these symptoms, I started to have anxiety and panic attacks in my 20s. I saw a specialist who prescribed Xanax and sent me on my way. 

Being the daughter of two medical doctors, I believed  that modern medicine could cure anything and everything. And so I saw numerous medical doctors and specialists. I was treated with massive doses of antibiotics and corticosteroids  again and again…

While I was growing up immersed in my parent’s medical world, I always knew I wanted to become a doctor, but was directed by my parents to become an engineer. But I was unfulfilled.

I Felt Exhausted, Utterly Drained Of Life, And Hollowed Out

When I immigrated to the United States I decided to choose a new direction and pursue my career in the medical field as I knew I was meant to help people. 

I studied Nursing, and four years later became a Board Certified Registered Respiratory Therapist, trained in Intensive Care. 

During that time, I had a lot of stress and sleepless nights;  like my brain and body were fading. 

My anxiety escalated along with joint pain, thinning, brittle hair, muscle aches, cold hands and feet, weight-gain, constipation, insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, short-term memory loss and many other symptoms. Just getting out of bed was grueling…

Exactly What To Do If Doctors Won’t Give You Answers

Like you, I felt the frustration of what it is like to be sick, not be able to find answers, to feel hopeless, and lost in the journey. I felt betrayed by my body. 

Doctors questioned my persistent symptoms and challenged my mental state. After a long and difficult road to receiving Hashimoto’s diagnosis, they still didn’t have any answers about why I developed this condition and most importantly what to do to help heal from these symptoms. 

I was told “there is no cure” and would have to use medication to manage symptoms for the rest of my life.

Now I was suffering not only from Ulcerative Colitis and eczema, but also from debilitating Hashimoto’s symptoms. 

Not one of the numerous doctors I consulted ventured outside of their specialized training to consider how all of my symptoms might be connected. 

And, not one of them truly eased my suffering. 

After being diagnosed with autoimmune Hashimoto’s disease,, I knew that nearly two decades of on-going suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, stomach pains, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, eczema, psoriasis, 20 lbs weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and anxiety were interconnected. 

I believed that these symptoms might have the same Root Causes. 

After I became frustrated and disillusioned with the conventional medical model and pre-packaged pill approach to chronic health conditions, I decided to leave my secure hospital position as Advanced Medical Nurse(while having a 6 year old daughter to support) and  pursue the field of natural, holistic, and functional medicine.

I wanted to become a doctor I desperately needed and wished I had when I was so sick and to support and impact people in a much deeper way.

After many years of being trained in the holistic medical field I became a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (OMD), Board Certified in Integrative and Functional Medicine, Clinical Nutritionist and Board Certified Licensed Acupuncturist. As a strong believer in evidenced based medicine, I have also completed advanced fellowship in Functional, Regenerative, and Anti-Aging Medicine in 2013 (FAARFM) and postgraduate studies through the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) in 2018 and am currently an Institute of Functional Medicine’s Certified Practitioner (IFMCP(c)). I am also board certified in Integrative Medicine (BCIM) and certified in RECODE (Bredesen Protocol (™) for Cognitive Decline).

What I have observed working with chronically sick patients is that while conventional medicine is unparalleled in crisis interventions, it is not equipped with knowledge and skills to address the root cause of suffering for people   with chronic health conditions such as:

• poor memory
• anxiety
• depression
• food sensitivities
• cognitive decline
• diabetes
• eczema, psoriasis, rosacea
• allergies
• asthma
• migraines
• chronic pains, fibromyalgia

These symptoms along with many others are often “managed” but never fully resolved by conventional medicine. Instead, the symptoms are “controlled” by  medication and the underlying problem is never addressed.

I learned that if you want to heal from any inflammatory, autoimmune or chronic condition that is holding you back from fully living and enjoying your best life, you’ve got to understand the ‘Bigger picture’ around these chronic issues.

Using the tools of TCM and Functional Diagnostic testing, I’ve discovered the Root Causes of my suffering: mold illness, Giardia parasites, H. Pylori infection, Candida overgrowth, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and nutrient depletion. Also, I discovered I had food allergies and sensitivities, leaky gut and inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, detoxification and energy challenges, unstable blood sugar, and exhausted adrenals.

I was able to heal my own body!!!

I became healthy, vibrant, energized and symptoms and disease free for the first time that I can remember.

But it still wasn’t enough. 

If You’re Struggling With Chronic Inflammatory Disease, Thyroid and Hormonal Imbalances, Autoimmunity, Anxiety, Brain Fog,Chronic Fatigue and Weight gain.

I couldn’t help but think of all the people who were struggling and that didn’t have access to the life-changing methods and protocols that I’ve  developed and refined. If they had access to these transformational health protocols, care, guidance and support we could stop the progression of chronic disease epidemic!

It became my mission to help others who are struggling with chronic health problems to overcome their challenges and start healing.
