After retiring from his private practice in 2017, Dr. Todd continues in his effort to Transform Healthcare: One Patient at a Time by teaching like-minded practitioners how to gather the diagnostic puzzle pieces that make up the unique health picture of their patients. When he’s not changing the world, he enjoys sitting by the lake, refinishing furniture, antiquing, doing crossword puzzles, playing cards, reading, studying, watching the Packers and Perry Mason, and being with family.

I was only 16 when I was forced to pay attention to what my body was telling me. Unlike my friends, my stomach revolted when I ate fast food and drank soda. That was the beginning of my journey to understanding the relationship between food and vibrant health. By age 25, my second son was born and within two months, I could not deny certain foods I ate had a negative impact on my little one through nursing. The problem escalated when my son was introduced to solid food and began suffering from skin, stomach and behavioral health challenges. As fate would have it, food became the central focus of my life’s work. What we eat matters!

I met Dr. Todd in 1984, and within months we realized we shared a passion to help others heal. For the next 33 years, I managed Dr. Todd’s private practice. What he studied, I studied. From basic nutrition to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and all things relating to functional medicine, I was by his side. Whatever he committed to professionally, I’ve been his right hand, his writer and messenger. We truly believe food is medicine. SHAPE ReClaimed shines a spotlight on the negative eating habits that contribute to common health challenges. Together, Dr. Todd and I believe God has ordered our steps and has set a mission before us: Transform Healthcare: One Patient at a Time.

When I’m not working, I’m in my happy place when I can hike, bike and kayak. I love a rainy day at home, cooking and setting a beautiful dinner table for my family, friends and strangers. I love to read, piece together jigsaw puzzles with a fire crackling in the fireplace and watching movies with my sweetie. I love snow and lightning storms, fireworks and bubble baths. My all-time favorite activity is spending hours piddling in my gardens with a zillion flowers.

I have been a SHAPE ReClaimed practitioner for five years. Early on, I was encouraged to embrace the SHAPE program and make it my own. As I applied the principles of the program, my practice in Northbrook, IL started to grow exponentially.

I graduated from the National College of Chiropractic in 2001, and I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. As a lifelong learner, I have decided to complete my functional medicine certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine.

As my studies have taught me, each patient has a story to tell, but so does their body. Listening to both is essential to arriving at a true understanding of the patients’ current condition and identifying all possible ways to attain total health transformation. I wholeheartedly believe in empowering patients for success, and I am thrilled to be a technical consultant for the SHAPE ReClaimed team.

I am the proud mother of four very active kids, ranging in age from 9 to 15. I’ve been happily married for the last 22 years and call Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada home. I have a Bachelor of Commerce Honours Degree from the University of Manitoba. I started my own bookkeeping business in 2005 in order to be able to stay home and raise my kids. Since then, I have grown my business substantially and am happy to say that I have a very diverse and international client base.

My family had a very exciting opportunity to live in St. Louis, Missouri from 2013-2017, and that is when and where I made the connection to SHAPE ReClaimed. I am very excited to be a part of this team, and I plan to bring process improvements and efficiencies, organization and accurate financial reporting to the business. I hope to also bring a fresh business perspective and ideas on how to grow and take SHAPE ReClaimed to the next level.

After becoming very ill in 1998, I was awakened to the idea of restoring my health through nutrition and functional medicine. My daughter was two years old at the time, and I was informed that I would die if something didn’t change quickly. I was in and out of the hospital on a weekly basis. I was sick, tired, 97 pounds overweight, and honestly, I felt hopeless.

I became passionate about researching food, nutrition and wellness. With the help of functional medicine, I changed my diet and started to see positive results. It took several years to release 97 pounds and restore my health, but I finally was feeling and looking well again. Naturally, everyone wanted to know how I did it. This began my journey as a personal chef and coach with Vitality Consultants, LLC.

This is my opportunity to pay it forward and work hand in hand with functional medical professionals nationwide to support their treatment plans, support people who are facing inflammatory conditions, support our nation’s health naturally, and increase vitality.

As the president of The Brain Mill, I have been providing Dr. Frisch with his technology needs for the last 20 years. While Dr. Frisch has always believed that technology was just a fad and not something to be concerned with, I have been able to show the value that technology can bring to their operations. This has included managing the setup of multiple websites and systems throughout the SHAPE ReClaimed family. I have found that while many in my field like to talk about the technology, my focus is on the results of using technology wisely by making it functional work as planned.

I was born and raised in St Louis and I enjoy spending my free time with family, friends and in the outdoors.

As a technical support specialist at The Brain Mill, I strive to provide smooth, personal tech support for the SHAPE ReClaimed family. When it comes to health transformation, the last thing anyone wants to worry about is the technical aspects of navigating a website or getting the computer to cooperate. That’s where I come in. I work directly with the entire SHAPE ReClaimed staff to facilitate smooth operation of their computers, network and technology. If you find yourself having some technical difficulties, I’m happy to help.

I have been working with Dr. Todd and Linda since I came on board with The Brain Mill in 2011. It has been an honor and a privilege to help them grow SHAPE ReClaimed to what it is today and to see it help so many people.
