Hello and Welcome.

Are you tired of not feeling like yourself and wondering if you’ll ever get your energy and joy back? Please know the way you feel now does not have to be your long-term normal.

Are you frustrated, and maybe even a bit down, because no matter how hard you’ve tried – to eat well, exercise, and talk with your doctor – nothing improves?

Have your health concerns even been dismissed by physicians and loved ones?

Have you been asked to settle for less than feeling your best?

After helping many patients in my private practice progress from discouraged to vibrant, active, and resilient, I know your health concerns are real. The source of — and solutions to — your health concerns may surprise you. This is where I can help.

Ann Shippy MD

Physician. Scientist. Engineer. Mom.

Before my board certification in Internal Medicine and over a decade of practicing Functional Medicine… I was working as a chemical engineer and manager with IBM.

After returning from a vacation, I got REALLY sick. From severe gut issues, to hair loss, to extreme fatigue… my colleagues at work thought I was actually dying.

I went to many recommended doctors with high hopes of healing my body. Unfortunately at the time, I was given medications that only served as bandaids… without TRUE solutions… and my symptoms continued to worsen.

At the same time, I devoured every health book I could find, met with an ayurvedic doctor, a nutritionist, an herbalist, an immunologist, a naturopath, and an acupuncturist, putting every piece of research together and experimenting with multiple diets until I finally reached a breakthrough in my own healing. I knew that somehow there must be a better way to practice medicine…

Wishing everyone a beautiful and love-filled Mother’s Day.💐🌸💖

Today, I’m so grateful for my amazing mom, who turned 94 in April. Her support and encouragement have been a constant source of strength throughout my life.

She’s shown me what it means to be strong, compassionate, and resilient. And she raised three daughters to be independent and confident, each in our own way.💞

I also feel deeply grateful to be a mom myself. Being a mother to two grown men fills my heart in ways words can’t fully express.

If you’re fortunate enough to celebrate with your mom today, hold her close and cherish the time together.🤗

To all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures, thank you for your love, your strength, and the quiet ways you shape the world.

Pictured here with my mom, one of my sisters, and her two daughters, my beautiful nieces.💗

With love,
Dr. Ann

MAFLD (Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease) is often reversible, especially when caught early.

If you’ve been told you have fatty liver, or suspect you might, here’s how to begin healing from a root-cause perspective:

1️⃣ Balance Blood Sugar + Address Insulin Resistance

It’s not fat that causes fatty liver—it’s sugar and refined carbs.

Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods:

– Organic veggies + fruits
– High-quality protein
– Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, wild fish)

And don’t forget movement, sleep, and stress—these are key to restoring insulin sensitivity.

2️⃣ Reduce Your Toxic Load

Give your liver a break by reducing exposures:

– Minimize alcohol
– Swap plastics for glass or stainless steel
– Ditch synthetic fragrances + toxic cleaners
– Use an air filter + check air quality before heading outside

3️⃣ Get the Right Labs

Talk to your provider or functional medicine practitioner about:

– Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT)
– Fasting insulin + glucose
– A1C + lipid panel
These give powerful insight into early metabolic changes.

4️⃣ Support Detox Pathways

Your liver is constantly working to detoxify—let’s give it a hand.

Consider nutrients like:
– Glutathione
– NAC
– Milk thistle
– Curcumin
– Alpha-lipoic acid
– Methylated B vitamins

Fatty liver is more than a liver issue—it’s a sign your body is under metabolic stress.

But you can turn it around.
By addressing the root causes, you’re not just reversing MAFLD—you’re also reducing the risk of chronic disease and supporting your overall health

Healthy aging doesn’t just depend on eating well and exercising.

Daily exposure to toxins can damage your cells, influencing how your body and brain age.

We often think that decline with age is inevitable. However, how we age is deeply influenced by our environment, including daily exposure to toxins.

Even low-level, chronic exposure to chemicals in our food, air, water, personal care, and home products can quietly disrupt the biological processes that keep us healthy and resilient.

Here’s how toxins accelerate aging at the cellular level:

➡️ They increase oxidative stress, damaging DNA and accelerating cellular wear

➡️ They impair mitochondrial function, draining your energy and vitality

➡️ They fuel chronic inflammation, the root of many age-related diseases

➡️ They disrupt hormone signaling, affecting detox, metabolism, and longevity

Over time, this hidden toxic burden can impact your brain, skin, energy, joints, and more, making you feel older than you are.

When you reduce your toxic exposures and support your detox pathways, your body responds.👏

Your cells begin to repair. Inflammation calms. Energy returns.💪

Healthy aging becomes possible because you’re removing what stands in the way of your body’s natural resilience.

Small changes truly make a big difference.

You are doing your best to eat a healthy, whole-food diet full of organic vegetables and fruits.

Yet you are suffering with symptoms like bloating, joint pain, brain fog, skin irritation, fatigue, or even kidney stones.

This may be due to how your body responds to certain naturally occurring compounds in otherwise healthy foods. Histamines or oxalates, and sometimes both.

Under healthy conditions, enzymes in the gut, liver, and kidneys help break down histamines and excrete oxalates efficiently.

But when gut health is compromised, detox pathways are overwhelmed, or nutrients like vitamin B6, magnesium, or sulfur compounds are depleted, these compounds can accumulate.

👉 Histamines may trigger immune and neurological responses, leading to inflammation, rashes, anxiety, and digestive symptoms.

👉 Oxalates can bind to minerals, irritate tissues, and contribute to joint pain, fatigue, urinary discomfort, or kidney stones.
Even nutritious foods can become problematic when the body’s ability to process them is impaired.

Histamine intolerance and oxalate sensitivity are more common than you may think.

See slides 👆 for symptoms to watch for and some of the high histamine and high oxalate foods that could be causing your health issues.

This study was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, and the findings make it clear: removing ultra-processed foods from your diet should be one of your top priorities for your health and wellbeing❗️

The researchers analyzed dietary and mortality data from 8 countries, including the U.S., U.K., and Brazil, and found that:

➡️ Every 10% increase in Ultra-processed food (UPF) intake raises the risk of early death by 3%.

➡️ In the U.S., 124,000 preventable deaths in 2018 alone were linked to UPF consumption.

➡️ In countries where UPFs make up more than half of daily calories, up to 14% of deaths may be preventable.

UPFs are made from refined ingredients and chemical additives, with little or no whole food content. They’re engineered for convenience, not nutrition.

Examples:

• Packaged snacks and chips
• Sweetened cereals
• Sodas and energy drinks
• Fast food and instant meals
• Flavored yogurts and processed meats

It’s not just that they contain excess sugar, salt, or unhealthy fat.

UPFs also contain artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and colorings, plus emulsifiers that disrupt the gut.

They’ve also been linked to over 30 diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, and some cancers.

Which means that they will likely contribute to more preventable deaths.

What you can do:

✅ Choose whole, nutrient-dense foods
✅ Cook more at home
✅ Travel with healthy, whole food snacks
✅ Read ingredient labels carefully
✅ Avoid packaged, ready-to-eat items
✅ Support public policies that protect food quality and health

More and more couples are struggling to conceive, and the reasons go beyond hormones and genetics.

Environmental toxins, like mercury, play a major role in fertility challenges—and their impact extends far beyond conception.

New research show that mercury exposure can significantly damage male reproductive health—even at low levels.

Found in contaminated seafood, pollution, dental fillings, and industrial waste, mercury builds up in the body over time.

It disrupts essential functions, damaging sperm, lowering testosterone, and increasing oxidative stress, which can affect not only fertility but also the health of future generations.☹️

This isn’t just about getting pregnant—it’s about supporting the healthiest possible start for your baby. 🥰

The good news? There are steps you can take to reduce your exposure and support detoxification for both parents.👆See slides for tips.
