A Dance with Stem Cells: My Healing Journey & Yours
I want to share something personal—something raw and real. Because you deserve to know that I don’t just talk about healing. I live it. Every day.
For the last six years, I’ve been fighting my way back from the edge. I remember the before times—
Before the last hit of mold exposure broke me open.
Before simply walking hurt every muscle and joint in my body.
Before I gained 65 pounds in three months without changing a thing.
Before I lost the ability to train, to be massaged, to be touched without pain.
Before I stopped going out, stopped showing up, because I couldn’t lift my feet to walk to the car.
I remember when browning ground beef for tacos made my muscles ache like I’d finished an Ironman.
That was my reality.
And if you're reading this, there’s a chance it might be yours too.
Why I Fight So Hard—for You
My passion didn’t start in a textbook or a lab.
It started in survival.
I didn’t become a functional medicine doctor to impress anyone.
I became one to save myself.
Every protocol I’ve brought into The Lyday Center—EBOO, high-dose phosphatidylcholine, heavy metal chelation, ozone, and now stem cells and apheresis—
I tried them all first.
Not out of curiosity.
Out of desperation.
And when I saw they helped—
even a little—
I knew I had to offer them to you.
The Shift I Didn’t Expect
Let me tell you about my dance with stem cells.
Because something happened. Something big.
This is the first time in six years I’ve thought:
“This might be it. This might be what gets me all the way back.”
But it didn’t start off gracefully.
After apheresis and the first stem cell infusion, my system crashed.
Eight hours of training and two major procedures pushed me past my edge.
I could barely walk up the stairs.
Vertigo, fatigue, trembling.
Gio had to walk me to the bathroom.
I cancelled my most urgent patients—
because I was the emergency.
I rested. I spent an hour in the HBO chamber.
And I gave myself permission to just… heal.
The Morning After
The next morning, I felt… better.
Not perfect.
Not invincible.
But better.
I worked a 10-hour day.
And as vacation began that Sunday,
I felt something shift.
I climbed the stairs on our cruise ship.
I stood in line without fearing my joints would buckle.
I helped with normal activities and didn’t collapse.
For the first time in years, my body felt like mine again.
Each day since has been another step forward.
Even with only 4.5 hours of sleep—
I was clear. I was energized. I was present.
The Little Healers Are Working
I can feel the stem cells doing their job.
They’re like messengers of healing,
moving into the broken, inflamed places—
bringing life, bringing repair.
And now, I’m counting the days until my next round of apheresis and stem cell infusion.
Because this isn’t just about healing anymore.
It’s about thriving.
You Don’t Have to Be Sick to Feel Better
This isn’t just for chronic illness.
Stem cells and apheresis are powerful tools for:
✅ Anti-aging
✅ Recovery
✅ Rejuvenation
✅ Peak performance
There’s a reason pro athletes fly to Panama and the Caymans for these treatments.
Because they work.
Because they’re life-changing.
And now—you can have access too.
