Hillary Rubin Speaks Out

Have you met Hillary Rubin yet? She is our featured "real woman" who has committed her professional and personal life to empowering others to be their own best health and wellness advocate.

It all started in in 1996, when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while working in the fashion industry.

Despite the odds, today she is symptom-free, medication-free and inspiring people around the world with her uplifting personal story and a progressive paradigm for wellness empowerment. Hillary changed her life by repositioning her diagnosis as a platform for transformation and growth.

She even has one of the top yoga podcasts -- and leads a movement teaching others how to turn their deepest challenges into opportunities to achieve optimal health and happiness.

Here is an excerpt from her recent blog that will give you a sneak preview as to her context.

The tingling started in her left foot. Then it continued to her left arm and left breastplate. This was followed by weakness in the legs and numbness in both feet. These physical symptoms turned the simple act of walking into a trial, the discomfort akin to moving on pins and needles. At the time, Hillary Rubin didn’t know what was happening to her.

Being diagnosed in 1996 with multiple sclerosis (MS) initially left Rubin feeling angry, as if she’d been “given a sentence.” But she had two choices—either to be proactive or let her illness control her life. She embraced the former.

Rubin says she “took the invitation” and made a choice to learn more about her diagnosis, explore treatment options and live healthier. She began frequenting health food stores and talking to the vitamin specialists there; they recommended books on nutritional healing. Rubin says this led to a more internal journey: “I organically listened and [decided], OK, now I get to dive in and educate myself.”
