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 142 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!

To reduce inflammation and
promote overall health it is sometimes vital to make changes to your diet.
Sometimes big changes are needed; at times small changes
can make a huge and lasting difference in
overall systemic inflammation.

This life experience enables me to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding in helping you on your journey to recovering from autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, Crohn's, colitis, Osteoarthritis and more."
