Kim founded Woody Matters, named after her late husband Woody who took his life soon after he started taking Zoloft. He was suffering from a side-effect of the drug that was observed in clinical trials but subsequently concealed by Pfizer. Had doctors known of this side-effect, his suicide could have been prevented.
Kim sued Pfizer and won. Her case is the reason we have black box suicide warnings on SSRI drugs today. She has been a tireless advocate for informed consent on medical products ever since. She's spoken at congressional hearings and is currently on the FDA advisory committee to approve new drugs coming to market. She is often the solo "no" vote as safety is her priority.
Her story and advocacy is especially relevant today given the mental health struggles and rising suicide rate among young people, and the over diagnosis and over prescription of drugs — especially SSRIs — to that population as well. Our schools are adding medical clinics with the ability to prescribe drugs, often without parental knowledge, making her story is especially compelling to parents
Kim's work as an advertising executive has helped her understand the spiderweb of influence that big pharma has over the medical journals, medical schools, hospitals and ads to consumers. She lectures at medical schools on the roles of the FDA, CDC and the influence of big pharma.
Kim has done hundreds of podcasts, with some large audience shows including American Thought Leaders with Jan Jekielek and Redacted with Clayton Morris. She is the subject of this recent Daily Caller article about the corrupting influence of “Big Medicine".

Harvard, Dr. Eades?, are having AMAZING results with dietary interventions. A very wide range of disorders have responded favorably, many completely off all meds. Upwards of 80% w positive outcomes.
Healing the gut microbiome it's crucial to improving mental health.
Testing should include a genomic analysis of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) to determine methylation challenges, organic acid testing, assessment of toxic load, GI map (gut microbial status) and perhaps a nutrient analysis. This is how you can begin to address manifestations of behavioral health.
My brain hurts from listening to you Rav, you speak so very fast, like on 1.5 X speed setting.
Perhaps interrupt less often to keep the flow.
I have zero trust in 98% of medications post covid, the only survivors are some creams & eye drops. The rest I want the medication profile before touching anything.
