Medical mystery? Book a consultation with Jennifer Pillari, President of Snap Dynasty Herb Company. |
Jennifer turned her curiosity and quest for meaning in the world into a philosophy degree from Boston College in 2000. In 2006, she completed her formal education with a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College, further refining her critical thinking, pattern recognition and analytical skills. Immediately upon graduation, she successfully sought employment with Snap Dynasty, then called OHCO/Oriental Herb Company, a company she had long-admired for to the steadfast effectiveness of Cold Snap, their renowned immune support formula. In 2013, she bought the company from founders Donn & Hannah Hayes.
As Covid locked down our world in March 2020, Jennifer began to collect a wide-range of inexplicable, inflammatory health symptoms that most significantly impacted her nervous system and kidneys. She refused to believe that she could have gone from an active, healthy person to nearly bedridden in three months without a root cause and was skeptical that she had developed an autoimmune disorder overnight. After a year of relentless inquisition and research, she concluded that toxic mold, from an undisclosed and seemingly minor roof leak, was the root cause of her symptoms. She was correct, and along with her three children, was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a genetic disorder often triggered by exposure to mold or other environmental toxins. This diagnosis has forced her to relearn how to navigate the world. At least 25% of the population carries the genes that are associated with the development of CIRS.
Combining her skillset and personal experience, Jennifer can provide guidance to unravel your medical mystery with useful and cost-effective resources that will empower your journey to health.
