i was bedridden and trapped in my own body. now i help women get their lives back.

Welcome. I'm Dr. McKenzy, and if you're here, you're probably exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix.

You've been told your labs are normal while your body screams otherwise.

You've tried everything, the diets, the supplements, the protocols, and nothing sticks.

I know, because I lived it.

My Story: From Bedridden to Thriving

Three years ago, I couldn't get out of bed.

Not because I was lazy. Not because I wasn't trying hard enough.

My body had completely shut down.

The symptoms:

  • Crushing fatigue that made brushing my teeth, breathing, and eating feel like running a marathon

  • Anxiety so severe I couldn't leave my house or even my bed

  • Digestive issues that left me afraid to eat and having nasty allergic reactions

  • Brain fog that stole my ability to think, work, or feel like myself

  • Hormone chaos that no doctor could explain

The medical response: "Your labs are normal. It's probably just stress. Have you tried exercising more?"

I was a doctor myself—a chiropractor who'd spent years studying the body—and even I felt gaslit by the system.

The Turning Point

After countless appointments and thousands of dollars spent, I finally discovered what everyone had missed:

My nervous system was stuck in survival mode.

Years of chronic stress, perfectionism, and pushing through had dysregulated my body's stress response system. My nervous system was treating normal life like a constant emergency.

No supplement or diet could fix that. My body didn't need another protocol, it needed to feel safe.

Once I understood this and learned how to regulate my nervous system, everything changed:

  • My energy returned, not in bursts, but sustainably

  • Anxiety lost its grip on my life

  • My digestion healed

  • My hormones balanced

  • I got my brain back

  • I got my life back

That breakthrough became my mission: to help other women stop suffering and start living again.

The day I stopped treating my body like the enemy and started listening to what it was trying to tell me, everything shifted.

My Approach: Science-Backed, Body-Centered, Soul-Honoring

Here's What I Know Now:

Your body isn't broken. It's brilliant.

Every symptom—the exhaustion, anxiety, gut issues, hormone imbalances—isn't random. It's your body's stress response working overtime to protect you from threats that may no longer exist.

You can't think your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.

No amount of "trying harder" works when your body fundamentally doesn't feel safe. That's why willpower fails and protocols don't stick.

Progress requires a different approach.

I Help You:

1. Retrain Your Nervous System
Using hands-on chiropractic care, somatic practices, and regulation techniques to shift your body from survival mode to safety

2. Address the Root Causes
Understanding the gut-brain connection, stress patterns, and lifestyle factors keeping you stuck

3. Build Sustainable Practices
Creating changes that work WITH your body and your real life—not another restrictive protocol you'll fail at

4. Reclaim Your Energy & Trust
So you can finally feel safe, calm, and capable in your own body again

Why I Do This Work

I've sat across from too many brilliant, accomplished women who felt like failures because their bodies wouldn't cooperate.

Women who'd been dismissed, gaslit, and told it was "all in their head."

Women who'd spent years and thousands of dollars chasing answers.

Women who were ready to give up hope.

If that's you, I see you. I believe you. And I know the way out—because I've walked it myself.

This isn't just my job. It's my calling.

You don't need to keep suffering. You don't need another protocol. You need someone who understands what you're going through and knows how to help your body heal.

That's what I'm here for.
