Overview:
Shari Guess is on a mission to spread awareness about a common and underreported allergy that could potentially affect 40% or more of the worldwide population: metal hypersensitivity. This is a Type IV systemic allergy that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and more, yet it is often misdiagnosed or overlooked by medical professionals. Metal hypersensitivity often demands lifestyle modifications in diet, surgery and personal environments.
The results and improvements to health are often drastic and immediate, yet, many healthcare practitioners do not have this on their radar!
As someone who has experienced the debilitating effects of metal allergies firsthand, Shari is passionate about educating the general public and healthcare professionals alike on the importance of recognizing and testing for this condition. She knows that many people may have encountered a reaction to metal in the past, whether it be from jewelry, a watchband, or snaps on their jeans, but may not realize the potential implications for their medical profile and healthcare directives.
Through her podcast, Heavily Metalled, Shari shares her own personal journey with metal allergies and interviews experts in the field to provide valuable insights and resources for patients and medical professionals. She believes that by increasing awareness and understanding of metal hypersensitivity, many people can find relief from chronic symptoms and avoid unnecessary medical interventions.
Shari would love to bring this often life-changing information to your podcast tribe!
Bio:
Meet Shari, a survivor, a fighter, and a scientific mind on a mission to create awareness about a condition that’s often overlooked and underreported in the medical community. After enduring over two dozen surgeries and almost losing her life due to a Type-IV metal allergy, Shari was left with a list of symptoms over 50 items long, and a compromised immune system that led to Lyme disease and multiple chronic infections.
Despite being dismissed by doctor after doctor due to “normal” test results, Shari’s determination and scientific background helped her deduce the cause of her debilitating health and mostly overcome the effects of her metal allergy. She also achieved full remission from Lyme, viruses, and co-infections, after being bedridden for years.
Now, as the host of the Heavily Metalled Podcast, Shari aims to raise awareness about this condition and change the medical narrative surrounding it for patients and practitioners alike. Abandoning her path to medical school, she’s using her knowledge to help others avoid the painful journey she went through.
Shari’s passion for sharing her knowledge on all things metal allergy has helped numerous people with severe chronic pain and symptoms completely change their lives and look forward to living again. Tune in to the Heavily Metalled Podcast to hear from Shari and her guests, and join the movement towards a better understanding of this often-overlooked condition.
