I’m Dr. Ann Shippy, and I understand what you’re going through. My personal experiences healing from undiagnosed celiac disease, autoimmune disorders, severe adult onset asthma, and mold toxicity have all been worthwhile steps in helping me to practice medicine the way I dreamed of doing. I know how it feels when illness puts your life on hold.
While working as a chemical engineer and manager at IBM, I got really sick coming home from a vacation– which was the first of four major health crises. Despite the efforts of traditional medicine, no one could find the cause of my problems.
One morning, after a long quest with various health practitioners and my own research figuring out how to heal myself, I woke up suddenly at 4 am with a clear decision…
Now, over a decade later, after earning my medical degree and becoming board certified in Internal Medicine and certified in Functional Medicine, I love caring for my patients here in my clinic in Austin, Texas.
And when people can’t get appointments right away because of my waiting list, it’s frustrating to disappoint people who are seeking answers about their health. You just want to feel better and get your life back…
This compelled and inspired me to find a way to help more people, so I created the Every Life Well® Cleanse Intensive Program!
This isn’t like the fad cleanse diets you see out there right now.
This is a safe, science-based approach to detoxifying and fortifying your body. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and many chronic illnesses are often caused by a buildup of toxins from environmental sources and lifestyle factors.
However, when you remove toxins and reset your body you may lose weight much more easily.
But more importantly you will be giving your body the support it needs to increase your energy and heal naturally.
A dedicated 6 weeks together to do a detoxifying Cleanse Intensive and guide you through “what to do” and “what to eat” and why. (Two weeks of preparation, and four weeks of the cleanse program itself)
No Comparison: I can confidently say that this really is the best thing out there. No other cleanse program or fasting protocol is this comprehensive.
Most Thorough: There’s a reason I named the program the Cleanse “Intensive.” It is a much longer duration than a short fasting cleanse, but– it’s not just the time we’re spending together, it’s the value of what it does for your body. Fasting alone is not enough. It’s a great reset– but this cleanse does more.
You can’t just pour celery juice on top of your problem or skip a few breakfasts and get the results you can get with the Every Life Well® Cleanse Intensive.
This program augments your own detox pathways vs. just relying on the benefits of fasting. Among other things, the supplements provide the nutrients you need to repair and rebuild cell membranes and mitochondria, meaning that your liver, gallbladder and kidneys are supported, amplifying every aspect of detoxification. This support gives your body the tools to repair itself—fortifying your own body’s natural resilience.
Great Value: The Every Life Well® Cleanse Intensive is my solution to be able to help more people who are not able to become a patient in my clinic.
The doctor-patient relationship is a sacred and special one, especially the way I prefer to practice medicine. I spend a great deal of time listening to my patients, asking questions other doctors don’t ask… and my goal is to help patients address the root cause of their illnesses.
I’m taking everything I’m learning from patients in the office and applying it to this program, and you will benefit from this collective learning. I am often the “doctor of last resort” for the sickest of the sick, and I also see the most motivated high-performers who want to be the healthiest possible.
Just the initial new patient visit alone in my clinic is almost twice the cost of this program, and when patients begin treatment at my clinic, they also typically invest in lab tests and supplements in addition to the new patient fee.
To provide this affordable 6-week option, I’ve carefully formulated this supplement selection, and bought individually, these supplements cost over $600.
Access to Help You: Even though cleanse participants are not patients, I am personally here for Q&A and teaching each week in this program. I’ve built our own private app to provide accountability and support throughout the six weeks we have together.

• Family-and-friend training module to help others understand and support you during your cleanse
• Cleanse “Travel Pack:” Must-haves packing list + tips to stay on track while traveling
• The Shippy Soup Diet: 14 soup recipes to reset your appetite and crush cravings
You could do a quick juice cleanse and get some temporary results…
You could do intermittent fasting for a few days and get some good benefits…
You could guess which supplements to use and spend more time looking around on the internet for pieces of the puzzle and become overwhelmed with conflicting information.
Or… you could join me for six weeks and completely change the trajectory of your health, for good—starting this new decade with the best possible odds for vitality to actually Get Better With Age.™
However, for all of those circumstances, it may be very beneficial to do this cleanse program AFTER your situation has changed. (And if you are planning a pregnancy soon, this program would be a tremendous advantage!)
Fall is officially here which means it’s time to amp up our defenses and especially our children’s as they navigate being back in school. ⠀
⠀
One of the most important aspects that’s needed for a happy, healthy year….is good nutrition.⠀
⠀
Planning ahead with healthy snacks and meals was a game-changer in my household before my sons went off to college. With so many delicious options now, it’s easier than ever to make sure our kids aren’t eating processed, nutrient void foods. ⠀
⠀
Below are a few of their favorite healthy alternatives to the typical kid snacks. ⠀
⠀
Some of my favorite healthy snack alternatives are: ⠀
✅ Siete grain-free chips or tortillas ⠀
✅ Lesser Evil’s Paleo Puffs⠀
✅ Simple Mills almond crackers and/or Paleo pancakes⠀
✅ Apple slices and almond butter⠀
✅ Mixed nuts with dried fruit and dairy free chocolate chips⠀
✅ Celery slices with almond butter⠀
⠀

With a few simple swaps, your family can have more nutritious meals and snacks needed for a stronger, more resilient immune system, all year long.⠀
⠀
What is one of your healthy go-to swaps for snacks or meals? Would love to hear below.⠀

Many people think they need to spend thousands of dollars on expensive gym memberships and programs to express true health.⠀
⠀
But that simply is not the case. ⠀
⠀
Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly an advocate for investing in high-quality supplements to support a healthy metabolism and immune system, however you don’t need a laundry list of things to live a healthy lifestyle.⠀
⠀
So, whether you’re just starting your health journey or have been an advocate your whole life, here are a few suggestions I’ve found to be key:⠀
⠀
1. Happiness: Focus on doing things you love and are truly passionate about. Pursue a career that makes you wake up every morning feeling motivated and inspired. Practice self-care (example: exercise, meditation, yoga) so you always feel internal peace and bliss, regardless of what’s going on in your life.⠀
2. Energy: Focus on eliminating toxins. Whether toxins are coming from mold, air pollution, beauty products, processed foods, or even people - it’s important to start taking steps to minimize exposure. For instance, parting ways with plastic water bottles and certain cosmetics.⠀
3. Awareness: Starting to pay attention more to the little things… like avoiding microwaving or freezing in plastic food containers, food and beverages with artificial sweeteners, toxic cleaning products, or simply reading more labels on beauty products and food.⠀
4. Longevity: Try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day for cardiovascular and respiratory health, and to maintain a strong, healthy immune system that is equipped to fight any 🦠 that comes its way.⠀
5. Thankfulness: Ever heard the saying, “those who are happiest tend to be the most grateful?” Well, it’s true. Gratitude is the foundation for feeling your absolute best. Take some time every day to express gratitude.⠀
6. Healing: I’m not referring to physical here, I’m talking about internal. The feeling you get when you work through a certain situation, unhealthy pattern, or specific traumatic event that has occurred and are able to embrace, move past it, and truly accept that whatever happened, happened for you.

Let’s talk about Glyphosate...⠀
⠀
We all know we should avoid it, but a question I get asked often is… what's so harmful about it?⠀
⠀
For those of you who may not be familiar, glyphosate is a herbicide that when used with other chemicals can be VERY dangerous.⠀
⠀
It’s a major component in the commonly used weed and grass killer, Round Up.⠀
⠀
Glyphosate is one of the big endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can lead to hormone imbalances and c@n(ers like lymphoma. ⠀
⠀
Even in patients’ lab results who eat as much organic food as possible, I still am able to find measurable amounts of glyphosate. ⠀
⠀
This ubiquitous pesticide is so entrenched in our ecosystem...even farmers who are not actively using it are unable to avoid it getting into their crops.⠀
⠀
Glyphosate can also be found in...⠀
Buckwheat Products⠀
Cereal⠀
Oats⠀
Flour⠀
Bread⠀
Non-organic fruits⠀
⠀
I outlined a few ways to avoid it in the graphic above. For a deep dive into glyphosate and why it’s crucial to avoid it, click the link in my bio to download my free guide, “How to Be Safe in a Toxic World.”⠀

[SAVE THIS POST] ...Because this is not your typical pumpkin soup, which can often be a bit bland. ⠀
⠀
NOT this version 🙅🏻♀️⠀
⠀
We kicked up the flavor with chili oil, crunchy cashews and cilantro- making this a soup that you are sure to savor with every spoonful.⠀
⠀
Pumpkin also has many health benefits, so it makes a great choice if you are looking to boost your nutrient intake. Pumpkin is a member of the squash family and contains two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble fiber. It's also low in calories and it is packed with vitamin A and vitamin C.⠀
⠀
And the best part? As always, this recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo friendly.⠀
⠀
Here’s what you’ll need to make it:⠀
1 tbsp coconut oil⠀
1 cup yellow onion, diced⠀
2 garlic cloves, minced⠀
1 tablespoon fried chili flakes in oil⠀
3 cups vegetable broth (gluten-free)⠀
2 (15 ounce) cans pure pumpkin puree (or roasted pumpkin) (organic)⠀
½ tablespoons coconut sugar⠀
1 teaspoons ground cumin⠀
1 teaspoons pink or kosher sea salt⠀
½ teaspoons paprika⠀
¼ teaspoons black pepper⠀
¼ cup out of a 13.5 oz can coconut milk⠀
Cilantro, chopped⠀
Fried chili oil, for topping⠀
Dry roasted cashews, for topping⠀
⠀
Tis the season for pumpkin patches, and lots of fall festivities. Trust me when I say this recipe is a surefire pick to bring to your next gathering!⠀

Loads of meat…⠀
Zero Carbs…⠀
No fruit...⠀
⠀
When people think of the Paleo Diet they typically think of what I just outlined.⠀
⠀⠀
But this couldn’t be farther from the truth 🙅🏻♀️⠀
⠀⠀
Which is why I'm an advocate for this lifestyle and its many benefits.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
What Paleo ACTUALLY is...is a diet that mimics what our early ancestors ate. It focuses on eliminating processed foods, sugar, dairy, grains, legumes, gluten etc. and incorporates whole, all-natural foods such as high-quality protein, healthy fats, and the right carbs like fruits and vegetables.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The Paleo Diet’s primary principles are avoiding toxins and foods that are overly processed...and instead, focuses on foods that provide sustainable energy and looks at food as fuel/medicine to optimize health.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I highlighted the main foods allowed on the Paleo Diet and ones to avoid above ⬆ ⠀

Have you tried the Paleo diet? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.⠀
