Monica Hershaft, Founder of MLH Wellness
As someone who struggled for many years with unanswered questions pertaining to her own health issues, Monica Hershaft understands what it feels like to be sick. Seeking answers from doctors and practitioners without success, Monica was told by several doctors that nothing was wrong with her and it was even suggested that it was in her head. She knew something was definitely wrong with her physically and so, she continued her search, embarking on a journey to reclaim her health and achieve the wellness she knew she deserved.
After much research, Monica found the solution to her physical well being and experienced an incredible recovery through a technique called Nutrition Response Testing, a non-invasive way of analyzing the body through muscle testing to determine the underlying causes of interference and stress that could be affecting a person’s health. After her initial analysis, Monica was given dietary recommendations and a supplement program to follow by her practitioner. After years of not getting any better and slowly deteriorating, she started seeing results almost immediately and finally began to feel better.
Monica learned that her vegan diet had compromised her body’s ability to heal and repair itself properly and she was instructed to incorporate animal protein into her diet in order to experience a lasting improvement in her health. Also, the soy she had been consuming as her main protein source, had contributed to difficulties absorbing minerals and had affected her thyroid function which was suppressing her immune system and energy levels. The dietary changes combined with the nutritional supplements she received, allowed her body to function properly, finally healing and repairing the way it should.
The positive results she experienced inspired Monica to study the very technique that helped improve her own quality of life so significantly, and today she is one of only 300 people in the country certified in Advanced Clinical Training (ACT) in Nutrition Response Testing.
In 2008, Monica founded MLH Wellness, a boutique wellness center in Beverly Hills. MLH Wellness offers holistic support and natural solutions for many common health issues, such as food allergies & sensitivities, environmental allergies, digestive problems, brain fog, fatigue, lack of energy, insomnia and much more.
Monica entered her profession after a long battle with her own health issues and has a personal mission to help her clients achieve balance and well being, physically and emotionally. She understands what it feels like to struggle to get out of bed in the morning, to wonder if you will make it to work each day and the overall feeling of wanting to give up out of sheer frustration. Because she walked in your shoes, she has a special compassion for those who seek wellness. Monica has made it her mission to help each of her patients feel better and have an improved quality of life through diet, education and supplementation.
Monica utilizes Nutrition Response Testing along with the cutting-edge technology of the Asyra PRO to identify the cause of many common issues. The Asyra PRO is a revolutionary bioenergetic tool that gathes information about how the body is functioning. It is able to create a unique homeopathic formula tailor made for each individual body based on the findings from the screening. Patients of MLH Wellness find that, once given a specific diet and supplement program to follow, their symptoms begin to improve in as little as 4-6 weeks.
Monica believes her patients deserve optimum health and wellness as well, and she has made it her mission to help each and every one of her patients feel better and have an improved quality of life through diet, accurate screening systems, education and supplementation. She wants you to understand how you got into the current state of health you are in and learn how to reverse that process so that you can prevent problems in the future. Whether you feel your health needs a little help or a whole lot, Monica will partner with you to see you through until you experience the wellness you deserve.
