    ï»żDr. Jackie McKool has been passionate about wholistic health and wellness since God delivered her in 1996 from an addiction to alcohol and the whole bar life. He pulled her out of the miry clay and set her feet on a new path—a wholistic path of health and healing. She believes with all her heart and soul that God has called her to speak, teach, and write with the purpose of glorifying Him.

    Dr. McKool spent 10 years in the wholistic health and wellness field as a chiropractic physician in Charleston, South Carolina. She has her post-doctorate in Internal Disorders, which is similar to a doctor of natural medicine. Dr. McKool is one of less than 500 worldwide board-certified Chiropractic Internists with a focus on Internal Disorders. Upon moving to North Carolina, she worked in the natural products industry in several health food stores for three years.

    Dr. Jackie has served as a trained minister for several Christian healing ministries, including Cleansing Stream founded by Pastor Jack Hayford, and the International Healing Rooms Ministries founded by Rev. Cal Pierce. She has also studied under Dr. Mark Virkler, founder of Christian Leadership University and Communion With God Ministries. Dr. Virkler is also the author of “How to Hear God’s Voice.”

    In addition to holistic health and wellness, Dr. Jackie loves being in God’s creation outdoors. She claims she was “born to be outside!” She loves jogging, hiking, biking, kayaking, and most of all backpacking. To date she has completed over 2,000 miles backpacking on the Appalachian Trail (AT), with less than 115 miles to go to finish the entire 2,190+ mile trail. Her goal is to complete the Trail in its entirety by 2024 when she will be 65 years old. Look for her next book that is already brewing pertaining to her adventures on the AT!

  • In this episode, my guest, Kim Witczak, shares her personal story of how her husband's death by suicide led her to become an advocate for drug safety. Her husband Woody's sudden death was linked to an adverse reaction to antidepressant medication. Despite having no history of depression or mental illness, Woody was prescribed Zoloft for insomnia, which led to a tragic outcome.

    Kim's journey has taken her from personal tragedy to the forefront of healthcare reform. She played a pivotal role in getting the FDA to add black box suicide warnings to antidepressants and has tirelessly worked to raise public awareness about the flaws in our drug safety system through her organization, WoodyMatters.com.

    In our conversation, Kim emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making when it comes to medication. She challenges the narrative that life shouldn't be hard and questions the quick-fix culture that often leads to the overprescription of powerful drugs.

    Furthermore, Kim shares how her faith has provided her with strength and resilience throughout her advocacy journey. She's committed to reshaping the medical industry to prioritize people over profits.

    So, get ready to be inspired and take action. Tune in now and let's make a difference together!

  • In this episode, I'm going to talk openly about something important - being a health advocate. Yep, it's been on my mind lately, especially because my husband and I have been helping out my mother-in-love a lot. And let me tell you, having someone to speak up for you in medical situations is super important.

    I'll tell you about my experience helping Todd's mother who's dealing with cancer. It's been tough but taught me a lot about standing up for loved ones when they need it most. I've seen how tough it can be without someone to advocate for you, so I want to stress how vital it is to have support and good communication with doctors.

    Personally, I think it's best to care for family at home if possible. It's cozier and more familiar, which can really help during tough times. I'll also talk about why it's essential to be careful with medical treatments and make sure you understand what's going on.

    I encourage you to think about being a health advocate for yourself or someone else. It can make a big difference in their journey through illness.
