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

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!)
Did you know that several environmental toxins have been linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease?😳
👉Here’s what research reveals:
➡️ Heavy metals (lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium) accumulate in the brain, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation.
➡️ Pesticides and herbicides, such as glyphosate and organophosphates, disrupt neurotransmitter function and contribute to neurotoxicity.
➡️ Mold and mycotoxins can trigger chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and cognitive impairment.
➡️ Air pollution and industrial chemicals, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and benzene from wild fires all increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
👉Environmental toxins can also silently deplete essential minerals your brain needs to function, leading to serious neurological symptoms.
Minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium play crucial roles in neurotransmitter function, brain detoxification, and neuroprotection.
When toxins deplete these minerals, the brain becomes more vulnerable to oxidative stress, inflammation, and degeneration.
Studies show that environmental toxins are also linked to central nervous system diseases, including:
➡️ Parkinson’s disease
➡️ Stroke

Cognitive decline might feel like a natural part of aging, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right support, you can maintain focus, memory, and brain health as you age.
One helpful strategy? Adding supportive supplements to your routine.
Even with a nutritious diet, most of us don’t get enough essential nutrients to fully support brain function.
Here are 12 supplements to consider for a healthy brain:
✅ B Vitamins: Deficiencies in B6, B9, and B12 are linked to memory loss and cognitive decline.
✅ Magnesium: May improve brain function and reduce age-related memory issues.
✅ Phosphatidylcholine: Supports healthy cell membranes and communication between brain cells.
✅ Fish Oil: Omega-3s are associated with better cognitive performance.
✅ CoQ10: Protects the brain from oxidative stress and supports neuronal health.
✅ NAD+: Promotes healthy brain aging and improves cognitive function.
✅ L-Carnitine: Enhances cellular energy and offers neuroprotective benefits.
✅ Probiotics: Strengthens the gut-brain connection and reduces inflammation.
✅ Astaxanthin: A potent antioxidant that protects brain cells and enhances memory.
✅ Curcumin: Reduces inflammation and may slow brain aging.
✅ Glutathione: A master antioxidant that detoxifies and protects brain cells.
✅ Resveratrol: Activates longevity genes, reduces inflammation, and supports overall brain health.
Always consult with your healthcare professional before starting new supplements.

When it comes to fertility, the focus is usually on women—but male fertility is half the equation. 👏
And most think sperm health is about quantity- but motility, quality, and DNA integrity all play a huge role in conception, pregnancy success, and even your future baby’s long-term health.
Which is why I created this short course on sperm health.
The Sperm Science Mini-Course is for anyone (men and women) who want to take charge of their reproductive health.
A few things you’ll learn from this course:
✅ Why sperm quality matters just as much as quantity
✅ How toxins, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies impact fertility
✅ Science-backed strategies to improve motility, reduce DNA damage, and support conception
✅ Functional medicine solutions to optimize sperm health naturally
✅ Simple, actionable steps you can start right away
This is quick, research-backed, and designed to give you real answers—because fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant, it’s also about creating the healthiest foundation for your future child.

New Year’s celebrations are a time to honor the past and embrace the future with hope and excitement. As we raise our glasses, let’s make our health part of the celebration.
Before indulging in alcohol, take a moment to consider its impact on your well-being. While champagne and cocktails often take center stage on New Year’s Eve, emerging research reveals significant health risks associated with alcohol consumption—even at moderate levels.
While occasional indulgence is okay for many, alcohol consumption can have far-reaching impacts on health.
You can still fully embrace the festivities with delicious alcohol-free options.
This New Year, why not mix up a few mocktails and celebrate in a way that prioritizes your health, vitality, and long-term well-being? Cheers to a year of thriving and making mindful choices.
Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!🎉💫

Occasional sadness is a natural part of life, but persistent low moods may signal a deeper issue.
It’s essential to work with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options tailored to your needs.
As a functional medicine doctor, I focus on uncovering root causes that impact mental health, such as nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, toxins, or inflammation.
One often-overlooked factor is exposure to toxic mold. Mold and its mycotoxins can disrupt the nervous system, create chronic inflammation, and impair neurotransmitter function, all of which can significantly affect mood, leading to anxiety, depression, or brain fog.
Natural supplements can also play a powerful role in supporting mental health and well-being. 💪
👉See the list on the slides above for some of the most widely researched options.
These supplements, when combined with a personalized approach to uncovering and addressing root causes, can often improve mood with fewer side effects than traditional treatments.🥰
By identifying and addressing what’s driving your symptoms—whether it’s mold, nutrient deficiencies, or other factors—you can restore balance, resilience, and well-being. ❤️

If holiday treats, cocktails, or indulgent meals have left you feeling off-balance, now is the perfect time to support your liver.
The liver is your body’s main detox organ, responsible for breaking down alcohol, sugar, toxins, and chemicals while managing hormone balance and immune function.
Overindulgence during the holidays can overburden the liver, making you more susceptible to colds, flu, and other illnesses.
Alcohol, in particular, suppresses white blood cell production and raises inflammation, weakening your immune defenses. 😳
Supporting your liver is key to staying healthy this time of year, especially with so much going around!💪
See images above for liver detox support tips and supplements.👆
Detoxifying your liver reduces its workload and strengthens your immune system, helping you feel healthier and more resilient.
