Challenging the Status Quo Through Research & Advocacy
After spending $50,000 and 12 years navigating a broken healthcare system to get diagnosed, I'm dedicated to exposing systemic failures and empowering patients with the tools they need to get proper care faster.
My mission goes beyond helping individual patients—I'm working to fundamentally change how healthcare approaches diagnosis, testing protocols, and treatment management.
From patient to advocate to system reformer
Vertigo and dizziness symptoms start affecting daily life. What I thought would be a quick doctor's visit turns into the beginning of a 12-year odyssey through the medical system.
Saw 30+ doctors across 14 different specialties. Received 7 MRIs, countless blood tests, and was repeatedly told "it's just anxiety." Spent thousands on specialists who couldn't provide answers.
Began documenting systematic issues: poor communication between specialists, outdated diagnostic protocols, financial incentives that prioritize procedures over outcomes, and a complete lack of patient navigation resources.
Finally discovered the root cause: an undiagnosed concussion from years earlier that no neurologist had properly evaluated. The right specialist with the right tests provided answers in one appointment that 30+ others had missed.
Launched Investigate Health to share research-based guides, publish honest doctor evaluations, and create systematic approaches to healthcare navigation that could prevent others from experiencing my decade-long struggle.
Expanding mission to challenge diagnostic protocols industry-wide, advocate for better testing standards, and work with healthcare institutions to implement patient-centered care models that prioritize accurate diagnosis over profitable procedures.
