More about Ali Ramos:
Back in November of 2019, Ali was in more physical pain
than she could articulate. She had about three days a month that
weren’t terrible, so she went back to therapy to deal with coping
with the pain. Through an integrative and functional medicine
approach, Ali got to the root of the issue, shame. In November of
2021, Ali will be one year “flare up” free and hoping to keep it
that way. She shares her story not to dismiss others that are still
suffering, but rather to show them there is hope.
There were many things Ali had to change in her day to day life
that were affecting her and keeping her sick. She talks a lot about
her career divorce and moving away from the mindset of being an
endowarrior and into an endohealer.
