Dr. Leland Stillman

Why he's here: Iron doesn't go missing in a vacuum. Your environment, your light exposure, and what your body is carrying all change how well you absorb and use it. He connects the dots most iron conversations skip entirely.

Dr. Leland Stillman’s journey into medicine began as a child suffering from severe allergies and chronic ear infections. That early struggle sparked a lifelong curiosity about why people get sick in the first place and how the body truly heals. After earning his medical doctorate from the University of Virginia and completing his residency at Maine Medical Center, he became disillusioned watching patients grow sicker under “standard care.”

With a background in Environmental Health and Biology, Dr. Stillman recognized that conventional medicine was largely ignoring the environmental and lifestyle roots of modern illness. He left the conventional system to build a practice focused on root-cause solutions: nourishing, detoxifying, and purifying the body naturally so patients see real, measurable change instead of temporary symptom suppression.

Dr. Stillman is the author of The End of Autoimmunity and is widely sought out for his contrarian, evidence-informed perspective on iron metabolism, autoimmunity, and chronic inflammatory disease.

Jaimeé Arroyo

Why she's here: She's spent years in the ER and critical care, so she's seen what depletion looks like at the far end. She also knows exactly how to talk to the medical system and get taken seriously, which is half the battle when your ferritin is 12 and someone tells you that's fine.

With over 20 years of medical experience, Jaimee Arroyo (Family Nurse Practitioner - BC and Owner of Hopewell Family Care in Nashville, Tennessee) understands firsthand the importance of root cause conversations. As a mother of five, she has had to navigate her own kid's health issues, and understands firsthand just how invaluable having caring functional expertise can be for a child in their development. As a forerunner in integrative health solutions, she has devoted her time to creating practical guidelines, surveys, and foundational solutions to help parents help their own children.

Dr. Tyler Panzner

Why he's here: Some women take iron faithfully for a year and the number won't move, and sometimes the answer is written in their genes. He explains what actually shows up in your genetics that affects iron, and just as importantly, what's being oversold.

Dr. Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist turned holistic genetic health coach with a unique perspective on human health and disease. Combining his scientific training in cellular and molecular biology with the principles of holistic medicine, he offers a missing piece to achieving optimal health and thriving in life.

His approach, called “Holistic Genetic Health Optimization,”utilizes genetic-based information alongside holistic healing techniques. This is an entirely new take on health, wellness, and medicine and he fully believes this will change the world. 

Dr. Panzner's expertise as a cell biologist and pharmacologist allows him to understand how vitamins, supplements, drugs, and lifestyle changes impact our cellular biology. He believes in finding the perfect “puzzle piece” solutions tailored to each individual, as genetic mutations can make traditional supplements harmful or ineffective. He aims to arm people with knowledge about what works best for them based on their DNA.

Nikko Kennedy

Why she's here: Pregnancy and postpartum drain iron and minerals in a way nothing else does, and most women never rebuild before the next round. She also works in quantum and circadian biology, so she connects light and cellular energy to the whole picture. If you've had babies and never felt like yourself since, start here.

Nikko Kennedy is the Director of Research at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, an accredited nonprofit training doctors and wellness professionals to use light, circadian rhythm, and quantum biology as clinical tools. She has been studying birth for over twenty years and serving families as a doula since 2011. She has taught for the Indie Birth School of New Midwifery, Life Spark Project, and Carrie B. Wellness and continues to guest teach and consult with global organizations working in maternity care. She is a graduate of the University of Oregon, a certified labor and postpartum doula, and is board certified by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board.

Melissa Ramos

Why she's here: Thyroid and iron are a two-way street that almost nobody explains. Your thyroid needs iron to make hormone, and low thyroid can drive the heavy bleeding that drains your iron in the first place. If you've been chasing both separately and getting nowhere, this is why.

Melissa Ramos is a nutritionist with a background in Chinese Medicine and the founder and CEO of Thyroid Alchemy. She specializes in helping women with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and anemia uncover what may be driving their symptoms through her signature East-meets-West approach.

Known for making complex health topics engaging, practical, and refreshingly unconventional, Melissa brings nearly two decades of experience to her work. She has appeared on The Doctors, spoken on the TEDx stage, and has helped thousands of women better understand their bodies beyond the standard “your labs look normal” conversation.

Becca Chilczenkowski

Why she's here: Heavy periods are the single biggest cause of iron deficiency in women who are still cycling, and heavy periods are a hormone story. She works on the estrogen and progesterone side, which is the phase most women skip and the one that's so often the actual answer.

Becca is a Board-Certified Hormone Specialist. Her expertise is working with female hormone and metabolic struggles including conditions around PMS/PMDD, Perimenopause or Menopause, Weight loss resistance, PCOS, and more.

She works to help women find answers, root causes of their symptoms, and heal permanently from their chronic health struggles. Her journey into functional health started because of her own health struggles.

Due to long periods of chronic stress from years of dieting, over-training, and a stressful job - her body's health started spiraling. Horrible periods, infertility, constipation, food intolerances, extreme mood swings, and eventually rapid weight gain fueled her to find answers she wasn't getting from doctors.

Josh Rubin

Why he's here: Iron overload almost killed him. Everyone else at this summit is helping you raise your iron, and Josh is the reason we're also going to talk about what happens when it goes the other way.

Josh is the co-founder and co-CEO of East West Healing. After 25+ years of experience and working with thousands of people, Josh and his wife Jeanne developed The Nourished Nervous System - a holistic approach to healing the body.

Chris Voutsas

Why he's here: He reads blood chemistry against optimal ranges instead of lab ranges, which is the difference between "your labs are normal" and "here's what your labs are telling us." He's also giving VIP members his Ultimate Guide to Understanding Your Own Iron Panel, so you can do this yourself.

Chris Voutsas is the founder and Co-CEO of Shield of Health, a systems physiology-based health consulting practice.

Steven Wright

Why he's here: You can eat all the liver in the world and absorb almost none of it if your stomach acid and digestion aren't working. He's spent years on exactly this problem, and this is the conversation for anyone whose iron "didn't work."

Steven Wright, the Founder and chief formulator of Healthy Gut, is known for designing rigorous, real-world solutions that support complex health needs and restore hope.
