When Doctors Have No Answers: My Eye-Opening Kidney Failure Story

Jun 13, 2025

Have you ever had something happen that completely changed life as you knew it?

For me, that moment was March 2021 when I got the Covid vaccine. Within 6 months after the vaccine, my kidneys shut down and I experienced complete kidney failure.

Fast forward to unrelenting sickness where I could barely get out of bed, to getting a kidney transplant and then having the transplant removed because my body rejected it…

…I received the scariest statement I had ever heard in my life.

It was the moment my doctors told me they had no answers as to why all this was happening. And that they’ve seen nothing like this in their 30+ years of practice.

What did this mean for me and my future?

I knew I had to keep going and I had to keep fighting. There was no other option because I needed to be here for my family, even if that meant I had to figure things out on my own.

In this episode of Mind Your Health, follow along as I recount my kidney failure journey and the biggest lessons it taught me…

…which are the reasons why I’m so grateful today for this experience.

So whether you’ve had a diagnosed condition you’ve been fighting for a long time, like cancer or autoimmunity. OR you don’t have a diagnosis but you have mysterious symptoms that your doctors can’t seem to figure out, like gut discomfort, skin rash, fatigue, aches and pains, etc…

Keep going and keep searching for answers and options because I promise that your story can change for the better at any moment.

I’m hosting a FREE training tomorrow May 8th at 12 PM ET where I’ll share four essential life skills I’ve learned that have kept me coming back stronger than ever, no matter what life and health throws my way.

"Dr. Connie’s passion and uncanny ability to see and feel the energy within each person are undeniable. She held up a mirror to parts of me I’d never seen — then tailored the training to guide me in a deeply personal and transformative way."

- Christine Y.

" The mentoring and practical application I gained from this program were priceless. As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the limitations of the medical system, and this experience opened my eyes to new possibilities for truly helping my patients."

- Christina S

" As a nurse practitioner on the edge of burnout, this program allowed me to explore a holistic approach to health and healing. I realized that conventional medicine often stops at managing symptoms, rarely seeing the whole person. The divide between the two disciplines became undeniable: one had evolved, the other stayed behind."

- Hanbi H

" As a multipassionate healing practitioner, I've been longing for a truly integrative program that can tie all my education and certifications including trauma informed somatic therapy, mental counseling, Yoga/pilates practitioner, and a massage therapist. I knew there was a better way, but FYMCP tied all aspects seamlessly to finally feel like I have a process for implementing my knowledge through the E.A., S.E. Method. Dr. Connie's relentless pursuit of learning and evolution inspires me, but she also lives the solution. I am so thankful for this program, which finally allows me to help my clients most profoundly. I recommend it to anyone seeking a revolutionary approach that is simple, easy, and empowering."
