Dr. Carol Alvarado D.D.S.
Dr. Alvarado has been in private practice for 23 years and in dentistry for a total of 40 years where whole health and wellness are emphasized. Through her experience with her patients, she has seen the need for clean, chemical free products to help promote optimal oral health.
Hence, Effervess was born, which is a natural, organic, oral care product line, to address the growing problem of "Dry Mouth." There are over 500 medications and various illnesses that cause this condition. Carol found, as she counseled patients, that the products on the market were chemically-laden, and many were inferior to combat the condition.
Effervess was formulated to help provide a healthy, natural and organic alternative everyone can enjoy.

Board-certified in cardiovascular disease, internal medicine, nuclear medicine and holistic medicine, Dr. Guarneri is President of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, former President of American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and is Senior Advisor to the Atlantic Health System for the Center for Well Being and Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Guarneri served her internship and residency at Cornell Medical Center, where she later became chief medical resident, and then received cardiology fellowships at both New York University Medical Center and Scripps Clinic.
Dr. Guarneri began her career at Scripps Clinic as an attending in interventional cardiology, where she placed thousands of coronary stents. Recognizing the need for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to cardiovascular disease, she founded the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, where state-of-the-art cardiac imaging technology and lifestyle change programs are used to aggressively diagnose, prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. She served as SCIM's Medical Director for 15 years.
In 2011, she co-founded non-profit Miraglo Foundation to provide healthcare and education to the underserved, both in the U.S. and internationally, and to provide innovative integrative medicine, education and research.
Dr. Guarneri has received numerous recognitions, awards and acknowledgements -- too many to list.

Lee Gerdes
Lee Gerdes is Founder and CEO of Brain State Technologies®. Launched in 2002, the company has served 32,000 clients, with 140 offices in 16 countries.
A group of teens attacked Gerdes with a baseball bat in San Francisco in 1992. The incident resulted in eight years of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Gerdes spent $250,000 on a number of treatments — medications, psychotherapy, biofeedback and neuro feedback — with no relief.
The former computer consultant started to research brain function. He developed a computer program for "brainwave optimization" — viewing brain patterns, then started to observe his own brain and summarized the results into patterns. He fed the optimum brain patterns back into his brain. In 2000, after approximately 35 treatments, Gerdes' symptoms diminished.
Brainwave optimization uses brainpower to remedy ailments by training the brain to function in a balanced state.

Dr. Mary J. Kotob MD, FACOG
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery is a special interest of Dr. Kotob's current practice.
Women presenting with complex bleeding issues, such as fibroids, polyps and adenomyosis, can often be readily helped once the diagnosis is obtained with labs and ultrasounds. Depending on the patient, her results, her work/family responsibilities - hysteroscopic management (uterus preserving) may be appropriate and occasionally a minimally invasive (ovary or cervix sparing) total laparoscopic hysterectomy may be warranted.
Dr. Kotob enjoys taking time with each patient individually and guiding each patient towards the best treatment for her particular problem and concerns. "Women usually know what they need when they come here -- thanks to their family, friends and the Internet -- we just have to work together to get to the right solutions for her!"

Lindsay Wagner
Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress, advocate, mother, humanitarian or author. What unites these various parts is a commitment through her work and her personal life to advancing human potential. Early in her career this commitment was evident in her Emmy Award winning portrayal of "The Bionic Woman."
Her use of media as a way to communicate ideas to help people in their personal process is demonstrated in so many of her films. Films such on spousal abuse and domestic violence; on the root complexities of terrorism; on the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America; on child sexual abuse; on the moral dilemma regarding capital punishment and on the battle between the naturopathic and allopathic healthcare.
Off screen, Lindsay continuously works both publicly and privately in advocacy and public education. Lindsay has co-authored two books: A best-selling vegetarian lifestyle cookbook entitled, The High Road to Health, and a book on acupressure, Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The Acupressure Facelift. From 2003-2006, Lindsay co-facilitated a support group for convicted batterers and their families.
In 2004, she co-founded "Peacemakers Community," a non-profit organization that offers families and individuals more constructive and peaceful ways of relating to each other and oneself in order to help end the cycle of family violence. For the public, Lindsay has been offering experiential "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart" retreats and workshops.
These programs are designed to help us access more deeply the peace and joy which is naturally within us and to realize how the conscious and unconscious concepts we carry in the mind often have a life diminishing influence on others and ourselves.
