Warnings of Disease with Dawn Roberts

Dawn Roberts, Forensic Document Examiner and Handwriting Expert, and author of the new book "Warnings of Disease" joins eHealth Radio and the Nutrition and Weight Management Channels. Dawn shares how diet and lifestyle changes cured her body of multiple diseases, even those without a known cure.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dawn Roberts discuss the following:Why did you write a book about the health and obesity crisis?What is pathogenesis?What are the 5 fundamental signs of inflammation, and how are they the starting point of disease?What is toxicity?Does changing a person's diet and lifestyle habits really restore good health?What are 5 things that listeners can do to help them along the road to recovery and weight loss?Duration: 18:28
Dawn Roberts is the author of "WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate."  While struggling with over 100 symptoms, 35 diagnosed diseases, and weight gain, she had questions regarding her failing health, but no medical doctor could give her the answer.  Suffering with neurological disease, doctors suspected that Dawn had either MS, Parkinson's, or Lou Gehrig's disease.  But the reality was that doctors were doing nothing to help, neither were the 23 medications that they had prescribed.  In fact, she got sicker with each passing day until she said, "Enough, is enough!"  This began her crusade to find the cause of disease and to eliminate it from her life.Totally frustrated with the medical establishment, Dawn turned to a Chiropractor/Homeopath for help.  With his assistance, and a total change in her lifestyle and eating habits, Dawn was totally healed.  Chronic disorders, even heart disease, simply vanished.  At the persuasion of her Chiropractor to write a book, Dawn embarked on a 15-year scientific journey to do research.  She then took a hiatus from her work as a Forensic Document Examiner to write "WARNINGS of Disease."  Through this work, Dawn hopes to use her personal experience to help others.  Her mission is to help people, who are sick, diseased and overweight, realize that junk food and toxic chemicals are perpetuating their problems.Dawn has been happily married for 32 years, and is the proud mother of two sons and a new daughter-in-law.  She lives alongside a tranquil and serene river bordered by a Florida State Forest with her high tech husband, pre-Chiropractic son, 2 rambunctious dogs, a brood of chickens, and some crazy guinea hens.

Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Stella Metsovas discuss the following:
Your background is so fascinating—tell us about it.
So what you’re telling us, is that without a healthy digestive tract, you can never truly be the picture of health?
Tell us about your projects—they all seem to align with digestive health. Do you feel there might be too many eggs in one basket?
You mentioned in your book that one major connection all your clients shared was some form of dysfunction in their digestion tract. Should I or the listener be worried?
Now I know you’re a gut health guru! Please tell us what top foods you recommend for digestive health.


Stella Metsovas is a globally recognized clinical nutritionist and media health expert based in California. Stella is a specialist in Food Science and Human Nutrition, with over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industries, and 8 years in private practice.
Beyond her private practice, Stella is regularly called on as a media resource; featured as a diet and nutrition expert in People, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, AOL, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Fox News, CNN, Good Morning America, Comcast Group, Demand Media, eHow, and many others. Woman’s Day named Stella one of “America’s Ultimate Experts,” and her blog was recognized as “One of the Top 50 Blogs Every Dietitian Should Read.”
In addition, Stella consults with her global partners as a brand and product expert, as well as coordinating health programs for her corporate clientele. Stella also serves as Chairman and spokesperson to the World Food Program Committee of Los Angeles, a charitable organization that raises support in America for the United Nations World Food Program.
A former National USA Swimmer, Stella really began her career at age 13. Training under the top Olympic coaches and swimmers of the U.S. swim team, she competed at the Junior Olympic and National levels. However, after being diagnosed as severely anemic, her performance level quickly declined.
Despite seeking medical attention, Stella’s anemia only continued to worsen – affecting her physiologically and psychologically. After a year of prescriptions for artificial hormones and numerous doctors’ evaluations, Stella’s mother sought other options. She was referred to a naturopathic physician who diagnosed Stella by evaluating specific markers in stool, blood and urine testing. Within one month treatment with natural modalities, Stella felt remarkably better. Consequently, the decision to pursue a career in the biological sciences was inevitable.
During her first year at Chapman University, Stella took courses in Physiology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Nutrition. Stella realized that her true passion resided in the Nutritional Sciences. Stella expects her brand to be the go-to for gut health and the Paleo-Mediterranean Diet, known as “The Diet for a Lifetime” that combines evolutionary biology, nutrigenomics and ingredients found throughout the Mediterranean region. In addition, Stella’s 21-Day Digestive Health Detox is now in the marketplace.
