ECHO has morphed into a teaching enterprise 

and the acronym stands for 

Effective  Corrective  Healing  Observation  


ECHO was a simple facebook page in 2014 after some great weight loss results and a few recipes were seen and shared with friends on social media.  


Ivy has lost a total of 108 lbs since 2010. 

Most of of the weight loss and regaining of energy and vitality has been seen since being introduced to The Virgin Diet & eliminating sugar intake when starting the ECHO diet in 2014. 


 JJ Virgin's work is HIGHLY recommended to decrease systemic inflammation!

Ivy's Words

At the age of 19 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease...

Five doctors misdiagnosed me.

 

I was told I should drink milk of magnesia. 


I was told it was in my head. 


I was told I was probably just pregnant.


I was told to take medication after medication with no improvement.


I was still struggling at the age of 38 and getting worse each day.


One morning at 3:00 AM I awoke with heart palpitations which I was told was probably anxiety. 


At that time I was on 14 medications.


I refused to believe it was anxiety & that heart palpitations were normal. I set an emergency appointment with one of my many doctors the next day. 

He told me I was having a health crisis and had "serotonin syndrome."  I was having a pre-seizure & he was the Dr. who had prescribed the last four medications to help me cope with the pain with which I was suffering.


I stopped all meds immediately to save my life.  I fired that doctor and I never looked back...

I went to see a nutritionist who suggested a gluten-free diet with a candida albicans cleanse. That visit was the beginning of my transformed life.


I did my own research and discovered there are so many foods (not just gluten) which are extremely inflammatory. 


I was introduced to J.J.Virgin's, Virgin Diet plan and it set me on a new path to help others find their joy for life and live pain-free as I have.


I became a certified Health & Wellness Coach in 2017. I have always been a bodyworker and it is my true passion (to help others heal and live pain-free). I offer virtual coaching services based on the ECHO diet that I have used since 2014 . I believe a diet of food and nutrition with less inflammatory factors is key for our overall health.
