Heather Sunderland

Health Coach

Heather Sunderland is a former Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Educator who is passionate about helping others navigate complex health challenges. She earned her B.S. in Nutrition from Pennsylvania State University in 1987 and completed her internship at Lehigh Valley Hospital. She later established a private practice but had to close it at age 35 due to chronic illness.

For two decades, Heather searched for answers, trying countless approaches without full success. In 2016, she was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, after 22 years undiagnosed. However, despite treatment, she remained sick. What she didn’t realize was that toxic mold in her environment was preventing her recovery, an overlooked factor by all her practitioners. The focus had remained on killing Lyme, not addressing deeper root causes.

In 2020, she was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) after years of battling conditions such as Grave’s disease, SIBO, asthma, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, and severe neuropathy. Even after identifying mold, Lyme, and other pathogens, she remained unwell, until she discovered the Regenerative Approach in 2022.

By focusing on cellular nourishment, reducing toxic burdens, opening detox pathways, and restoring gut health, Heather’s health transformed:

Brain fog lifted within months.
She regained mobility and no longer needed assistive devices.
Longstanding Bartonella symptoms disappeared.
By Month 23, her doctor confirmed she no longer had Lyme, mold toxicity, CIRS, Grave’s disease, SIBO, or asthma.

Today, Heather helps others restore their health, simplifying complex symptoms and guiding clients to the next right step. She has been featured on podcasts, sharing her story of hope and healing to inspire others on their journey.

On January 6, 2025, she and her colleague Bobbi McGrath launched Navigating Mold & CIRS: Expert Insights for Practitioners, a 15-module online course educating practitioners on mold illness, CIRS, and the regenerative approach. A version for individuals and group coaching is coming soon.
