Dr Miles’ Story:
Growing up, my father was a medical doctor focusing on public health. He was a kind, generous, and patient man. I do not remember him yelling even once in my life. He also changed the world. He founded a rural health office that took mobile clinics and sent them to rural areas for basic check-ups for people who did not have good access to healthcare. He became a State Legislator and then later a State Senator. He worked tirelessly to pass legislation that would give access to healthcare to the working poor.

One day while I was babysitting for a friend of my sister, I got a call from a family friend. She told me “something has happened with your father and you need to go to the hospital right away.” My father had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. I was 15 years old at the time.

This tragic event threw me for a loop. Then in my 20’s I personally suffered from chronic fatigue. I remember being called into Valerie’s office. Valerie was the president for the medical school I was attending. She said that although I was doing well academically, being late for my first class of the day was endangering my ability to get through medical school. I told her that I was really trying as hard as I could to get up and get going, but even if I got 8, 9, or even 10 hours of sleep I was still dragging in the mornings and even into the afternoon. She said something might be medically wrong. I told her that I had been to a conventional doctor and they had said everything looked fine. She encouraged me to seek additional medical help.

I spent many years seeing every specialist I could think of: naturopaths, acupuncturists, chiropractors, integrative MDs, energy healers, and more. Eventually I discovered a functional medicine mentor and was able to test myself for underlying root cause issues. I found a subclinical thyroid issue, autoimmune antibody, multisusceptible mold illness genetics with exposure to black mold, gut infections, sleep apnea, and chronic Lyme co-infections Babesia and Bartonella. I was able to recover my energy after treating these main root cause issues through functional medicine protocols. It was a difficult journey. Since then, I have made it my mission to help others have something I never had: a step-by-step, guided, mind-body process to identify root causes and reverse them, naturally when possible. This is what we have created at Medicine With Heart. We are honored to accompany you on your healing journey.
