“My ultimate purpose—my God-given mission—is to alleviate suffering with the TRUTH:  Chronic illness is preventable and reversible using the new scientific medical breakthroughs.  There is hope!”

 

Armed with her Master’s in Immunology and Environmental Toxicology from Virginia Tech in 1998, Dori set out to help others through medical science.  She continued her specialized PhD studies in Autoimmunity while working at Duke University Medical Center and Duke Veteran’s Affairs Hospital, and completing a prestigious PhD Fellowship at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (a branch of the NIH). During her training Dori won first place at Virginia Tech’s science fair for her NIH funded research developing new immunotoxicology assays, and co-authored five papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including a review of “Immunology and Autoimmunity” in Environmental Health Perspectives.

​

13 years into her career as a research scientist, Dori suffered a major life crisis:  Her own autoimmune disease.  Within a few years she was diagnosed with Systemic Sclerosis and Fibromyalgia, and later developed Arthritis, Addison’s Disease, Thyroiditis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Osteopenia, Polymyositis and Lupus antibodies, eventually succumbing to debilitating disability.  Dori lost her career, and it seemed her life’s purpose, for over 14 years.

​

But that’s not the end of her story. 

 

Through a truly miraculous spiritual event, Dori found the science of

Functional Medicine, and it completely changed her life.
