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!)
Polyphenols are plant compounds packed with antioxidants and many potential health benefits!
Polyphenols are what give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors. 🍇
We know that oxidative stress contributes to inflammation and disease.
Various polyphenols may limit the effects of oxidative stress and could have preventive and/or therapeutic effects for…
✅ Protecting cells
✅ Lowering blood sugar levels /type 2 diabetes
✅ Supporting the microbiome
✅ Lowering inflammation
✅ Supporting cardiovascular health
✅ Protecting against obesity
✅ Preventing neurodegenerative diseases
✅ Stimulating lymphatic flow
✅ Boosting Immunity
Polyphenols are found in…
Artichokes, pomegranate, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts and dark chocolate, olive oil, black olives, herbs and spices (cloves, turmeric, Mexican oregano, dried sage, dried spearmint, rosemary) coffee, green tea, and red wine (consume in moderation) and many more!
Are you getting enough polyphenols in your diet?
A few ways to sneak in more…
✅ Start the day with green tea
✅ Have a smoothie for breakfast or lunch and add greens, berries and a handful of nuts rich in polyphenols, like walnuts or hazelnuts.
✅ Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts and olive oil on your leafy greens.
✅ Add spices like turmeric, Mexican oregano, dried sage or cloves to your dishes.
✅ Have a piece of good quality, dairy-free dark chocolate as a treat.
Get polyphenols in supplement form…
Some of my favorite supplements with polyphenols…
✅Curcumin, a flavonoid polyphenol is the active ingredient in the spice turmeric.
✅ECGC, a type of polyphenol found in green tea.
✅Quercetin, found in leafy vegetables, broccoli, red onions, peppers, apples, grapes, black tea, green tea, and red wine.
✅ Resveratrol, in grapes and red wine.
✅Superfood powders-look for high quality, organic, gluten-free green superfood powders. I like Exceed Greens + Reds Organic Grain-Free Superfood – includes an abundance of polyphenols in just one scoop.

My amazing staff whipped up two beautiful and healthy cakes to celebrate me. 🎉❤️
They were so good I had to share the recipes! The chocolate cake was made with sweet potatoes and avocado.
The pineapple upside down cake was made with coconut flour and monk fruit sweetened. Yum! 😋
Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free and free of white sugar! Both so moist and delicious! 🍰

You know the old saying… “you are what you eat?” What if the same theory applied to your thoughts?
Negative, toxic thoughts may be sabotaging your health journey.
Try adjusting your inner voice with kinder, more positive self-talk. 😊
Start with a few affirmations… (a type of positive self-talk that can alter your subconscious thoughts)...repeating positive phrases gives them power.
• My body is healthy, my mind is tranquil
• I am the picture of wellbeing
• Wellness is the natural state of my body
And try to remove negative influences…
Negative thoughts often come from outside sources - try limiting negative news and screen time.
Time in nature often leaves us with positive emotions and thoughts…
Consider…
• Spending more time outside
• Practicing gratitude
• Start your day with meditation
• Visualize yourself happy and vibrant
Sometimes just being mindful of negative thoughts creeping in can help you switch your inner dialog to positive. 😊

Is your lymphatic system clogged?
Do your ankles swell?
Do you suffer from frequent colds, allergies, chronic fatigue or inflammation?
These are a few signs that your lymphatic system may not be functioning well.
A primary role of the lymphatic system is to remove toxins and waste from cells.
It is also ESSENTIAL for cardiovascular health and immunity.
Most medical conversations don’t address how the dysfunction in the lymphatic system may contribute to a host of symptoms and chronic disease.
Check out my recent blog post (see articles in my linktree) where I explain the lymphatic system in depth and share 13 strategies to promote lymph flow and help restore your lymphatic health.❤️

Remembering to look for the magical moments. ❤️
Taking some time off to inhale the beauty of a new and enchanting place...and having an adventure! :)
As the sun sets on this amazing day, I am reminded of how important it is to truly soak in and appreciate the natural wonder of each magical moment.
And I realize...you don't have to travel halfway around the world to find magical moments - they are everywhere, we just need to take the time to appreciate them. ❤️
