We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Vizzaccaro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amber, can you tell us about a book that has had a meaningful impact on you?
In 2016, I started to develop serious chronic health problems that prevented me from being able to physically work, attend my college classes, or live any kind of a normal life. It got to the point where I was being hospitalized every other week for months on end. I was very scared. I saw many different doctors, specialists, naturopaths, and other types of healthcare providers, and all of them were perplexed by my case. My bloodwork always came back normal, despite me feeling worse and worse. After trying an exhausting number of protocols (both conventional and naturopathic), I was still left with interstitial cystitis that gave me 24/7 level 10/10 pain, random fainting spells, chronic fatigue syndrome, severe anxiety and panic attacks, and neuropathy…just to name a few. I was told by every doctor I saw that I was going to have to live with my symptoms for the rest of my life, and that the best I could do was manage my pain with medication.

Something inside me knew that wasn’t true and refused to accept such a grim prognosis. I began researching relentlessly, and I finally came across a book called Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal by Anthony William. At the time, I was studying to become a doctor myself, so I was extremely skeptical of health information coming from a “medium”…it took me months to get myself to even open the book. When I did, though, after reading the first page, I knew I had come across life-changing information. I finished the whole book within a day. The information validated all of the symptoms I was experiencing that doctors couldn’t explain, made more logical sense than anything I’d ever come across, filled in so many missing pieces from everything else I had studied, and actually aligned with a lot of the good science that existed but just took it a whole lot further.

From this book, I was able to understand what the true root causes were behind my symptoms and how to properly address them. I had already been living a healthy lifestyle and eating well (part of the reason why I was so confused by why I was feeling so unwell), but Anthony’s book helped me understand critical nuances and further changes I needed to make in order to heal my body naturally using mostly food, herbs, and clean supplements. I created a protocol for myself based on his information, and I felt better immediately. Within just 6 months, I completely reversed all of my more than 30 symptoms and conditions, and I lost 30 pounds of excess weight without even trying. It’s been 5 years, and I’ve been symptom free ever since.

I then started applying the information in my alternative medicine practice, and I’ve been able to help thousands of people around the world heal from digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, mystery neurological symptoms, skin conditions, mental health conditions, cardiovascular problems, stubborn weight issues, chronic pain, hormonal conditions, and so much more.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am entirely driven by impact and integrity. I measure the success of my business by how many people I am able to help. Chronic illness warriors usually go through a tremendous amount of suffering before they stumble upon truthful information, and then it can still be an uphill battle from there to manage depilating symptoms while doing all of the work it takes to implement a healing protocol for long enough to see results. Knowing the real root cause behind your health problems is 50% of the equation when it comes to healing and recovery. These days, everyone thinks they are a health expert, and there is so much noise, conflicting viewpoints, and incorrect information about health, disease, and nutrition online. Most people don’t realize how much corruption exists within our medical and health research institutions – where everything we think we know or don’t know comes from. Funding has to be sourced from somewhere, and usually it’s the mega corporations that will pay whatever it takes to produce studies that benefit them and do not tolerate results to the contrary. I’ve spoken to many researchers who openly admit how common unethical practices are in their profession. This is part of the reason why you can find a study to support pretty much anything now. This has left so many people beyond confused, overwhelmed, and expensing their energy and resources on things that won’t actually help them.

As we continue to funnel more trillions of dollars into healthcare systems, disease rates skyrocket higher and higher and fertility rates are plummeting. What we are doing is not working, and that should alarm everyone. There is a better way. I am proof. My clients are proof. All of the millions of people who have healed with Medical Medium information are proof. There is so much re-education that’s needed in this world if we are to have any chance at changing our disease trajectory. It is not easy to conduct business in such a way that goes against the grain in every way, but I am motivated by all of the people who are struggling out there. That’s what gets me through all of the challenges.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I have friends visiting all of the time from out of town, and these are some of my go-to plans: Paddle boarding at sunset harbor
Fresh salads and smoothies at Love Life Cafe in Wynwood
Bike rides along the boardwalk on South Beach
A trip down to Homestead to shop for fresh, SoFlo-grown produce (especially the mangoes at Mango Men)
A spa day and yoga at Faena
Joia Beach for fruit platters, good music, and dancing
Watr at the 1 Hotel for fresh coconut water, plant-based sushi, and a beautiful view
Sunday night drum circles at South Pointe
A beach day on Key Biscayne

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, I would absolutely not be where I’m at today without Anthony William and the Medical Medium series. The information completely changed my life, enabled me to recover my health when nothing else worked, and gave me the tools to be able to help thousands of people dealing with mystery, chronic, and autoimmune illness do the same.
