Ending Epileptic Seizures by Finding the Causes – A Father's Story
The Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast showcases natural and integrative health success stories to inspire hope and healing in those with chronic and complex illnesses. The host, Casey Hibbard, personally reversed her autoimmunity and is now on a mission to help others heal, too.
In this podcast, Casey interviews Marc Isaacson, Village Green Apothecary's own CEO, about his daughter Tess's epileptic seizures, which began at age 8. Marc and his family vowed to find out what was triggering the seizures and why they had come on so suddenly. It took several years, and exhaustive exploration, but his family ultimately did discover what triggered Tess’s seizures and found solutions for managing them naturally. In Tess's case, she had to avoid specific classes of foods, plus needed nutritional support and detox from environmental toxins. With these steps, her seizures stopped.
- What Tess's seizure pattern looked like
- The conventional/allopathic treatment for epilepsy that they tried initially
- Why a ketogenic diet for epilepsy didn’t work for Tess
- The role of genetic, biochemical and food sensitivity testing
- The superfoods that actually worsened Tess’s seizures
- How her genetics may be linked to epilepsy
- The natural protocol that stopped her seizures
- Tess’s maintenance regimen to stay seizure-free
If you or someone you know is dealing with epilepsy or seizures, you may gain some excellent insights from this interview.
* Besides his role as a father, Marc Isaacson is passionate about functional nutrition and wellness and is working to change healthcare from a symptoms-based system to one that works on getting to the root cause, focusing on individualization and prevention. In 2002, he acquired Village Green Apothecary, a leading integrative pharmacy focused on personalized health, located in Bethesda, MD. Village Green offers prescription drugs, custom compounding, and over 10,000 nutritional products, including many top practitioner lines, as well as private wellness consultations and specialized lab testing.
