Iridology Education

12/21/2025

Do you remember Dr McCoy on Star Trek and his handy dandy tricorder?

It could tell him exactly what was wrong in real time.

We used to think iridology could do the same -
that each mark meant one problem -
but that was based on theories that have never been proved.

What it does instead is help us to understand the relationships between organs and symptoms in minutes...just like the tricorder.

That gives us a depth of understanding that can guide the tests we run and the recommendations/programs we make.

Since we don't have Tricorders yet, iridology is a great second best for enhancing the depth and speed of assessing clients.

And that's exactly why I love teaching constitutional iridology to health professionals.

Maybe you were napping and didn’t see it - or maybe you meant to follow through but forgot.

This is the last chance you’ll have to register for the final iridology webclass of 2025.

Here’s what we’ll be talking about -
Assessing the potential efficiency of the stomach.

Put in other words - digestive system indicators in the irides.

You will walk away with new knowledge you can use with your next client.

So join me tonight - Thursday, December 18, 2025

This guy didn’t send me feet pics, thank goodness. But in the email he sent me, he included photos of his

Eyes.

(and believe it or not, that’s not all that uncommon!)

Don’t worry - he wasn’t looking for a date. He wanted me to do an iris analysis from photos with no other information. This used to be pretty common. People would send in their photos and we would ‘diagnose’ health issues from them.

And because there are still people practising and teaching based on those disproved theories, the general public expects a ‘diagnosis’ from their photos.

→ Back to the guy and his photos.

He said he’d recently quit smoking and wanted me to tell him, from his photos, if he should do a cleanse. I couldn’t answer that honestly, as I had no other information about him - medications, surgeries, health history, current symptoms - only photos.

And while his iris photos provide a lot of base information about his health predispositions, they don’t reveal transient information ~ and as a health professional it is irresponsible to give client specific recommendations without his health history information.

It is reckless, potentially dangerous, and definitely unprofessional to give client-specific recommendations from photos only without background information.

So, for sure, don’t send me your feet pics. Or even pics of your eyes!
But if you want to learn more about learning iridology at a professional level, let’s talk!

What would you do?

A 20-something year-old male comes in to see you. His main concern - raging heartburn.
He’s downing an economy sized jar of antacids every week and his doctor wants to prescribe a proton pump inhibitor without running any tests.

I couldn’t tell him to not follow his doctor’s advice.
So, here’s what I did.

I looked at his eyes!

His irides showed me he had inherited the tendency for low stomach acid production

~ but why did he have heartburn and reflux if he didn’t secrete enough acid?

His eyes gave me clues and guided the questions I needed to ask.

I was able to make two simple recommendations that completely eradicated the heart burn and reflux in under a week ~ no PPI needed!

Super fast. Super easy.

To learn more about this common iridology indicator, join me for a webclass on Thursday, Dec 18 @ 6pm mountain time.

Replay will be sent to registrants.

What if the career you trained for isn’t what you’re really cut out to do? I get it, because ……


I almost fell into that same trap.

Growing up, all I wanted was to be an elementary school teacher. My grandma was a teacher. My dad was a teacher. I played “school” all summer long and forced my friends to take my homemade math tests.

So off to university I went. Elementary education, of course.
But at the end of my third year, my supervisor denied me approval for my final practicum. Her exact words: “You’re not cut out to work with children.”
I was crushed. Now what?

A trip to the counseling office changed everything. After a series of aptitude tests, the psychologist said I could be a teacher… but I’d be bored within a few years. My gifts pointed toward teaching adults — something “science-y,” something health-related.

I tried secondary education. It wasn’t a fit. I dropped out, to the disappointment of my parents — and the relief of my soul.

Then I met a woman who practiced herbalism and iridology. I took a part-time job as her apprentice… and everything in me lit up. I’d found my home. Back then it was all pretty underground — but 45 years later, holistic wellness is everywhere. And I’ve built a life and career I love!

So if you are on a path that doesn’t light you up, keep reading. Because here’s the moral of the story: (of course there is one!)

Whether you’re an RN feeling the pull toward holistic healing… or someone sensing you’re not on your true path… find a mentor. Get guidance. And give yourself permission to change direction.

It might feel scary at first — and it might end up being the best decision you ever make.

Fill in the blank.

I see more clients suffering with _____ over Christmas.

So many possible answers for that, right?

…but stomach and digestion problems are near the top of the list.

What with the irresistible treats, constant eating, erratic eating times, and increased stress of the season, how could heart burn, GERD, and upset stomach symptoms not get worse?

Sure, sometimes those symptoms are diet/lifestyle induced, and the rest of the time (most of the time) there’s a genetic base.

By knowing what to look for in their eyes, you can see how much is diet/lifestyle and how much is inherent.

Armed with that knowledge you’ll be able to make the most client-specific recommendations that your clients will thank you for when they’ve not suffered through the festive eating!

Join me for a webclass, just in time for the final rush of Christmas, News Years, and Hanukkah parties, where we’ll look at what the eyes teach us about inherent digestive risks.

Webclass date: Thursday, Dec 18, 2025
Time 6:00 - 7:00PM Mountain time

Are you more like your mom, your dad, or one of your grandparents?

Blue eyes? Brown eyes? Hazel eyes? What secrets do they hold? And from how far back are these secrets passed down?

We often focus the discussion about the genes we’ve inherited on our parents. Research suggests we should be looking at our grandparents.

Even something as simple as your eye color comes down from your grandparents.

Studies of records kept in Överkalix, Sweden show how famine and food scarcity endured by pre-pubertal females had the greatest impact on their grandchildren, including increased tendencies for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and shortened lifespan. So, your genetic tendencies may not be your parents’ fault!

But what about the eyes?

They are epigenetic. They, too, hold clues to predispositions to health potentials and challenges passed down from the prior three to four generations.

Each of the three basic eye colors, blue, hazel, and brown, has its own unique health predispositions.

How would knowing what those predispositions are help you…

*hear your client’s concerns more precisely?
*understand the root cause of your client’s symptoms?
*laser-focus the questions you ask and the tests you request?
*refine the recommendations you make?

This is what I love to teach ~ Dynamic Iridology to health professionals ~ and why I’m sharing an introductory webclass about The Three Primary Iris Colors on Thursday, December 4 at 6pm Mountain time.

Mom called me one evening. “I’m watching your dad die one day at a time. I don’t think he’s going to last another week.”

Dad was 83. His first heart attack was at 40 — and now his health was really coming undone. Mom was beside herself.

I drove out the next morning.

She was right. Dad didn’t look good. It didn’t take medical training to see that.
I asked to see his list of meds — the one he kept folded in his shirt pocket for the ambulance rides that were becoming too common.

15 medications.

Fifteen!

I stared at the list, stunned.

When I got home, I pulled out my drug reference books and spent a couple of hours digging. And there it was: the same five drugs, repeated three times under different names. The compounded effects were wrecking what energy Dad had left.

I called Mom. She called the head pharmacist. He looked up the records, was shocked by what he saw, and took action with both the doctor and the dispensing pharmacists.

Dad’s meds were corrected — brought down to five — and within days, his sassy personality started returning.

→ Stories like this aren’t rare.

Over-medication happens far more than people realize. And many RNs see it every day. You know there’s a place for medication… but you also know when something is off.

That’s why so many nurses quietly start exploring holistic health on the side — looking for a way to blend what they learned in nursing school with what they’ve learned on their own.

If that’s you, know this: your training is valuable, your instincts are right, and there are non-invasive tools that let you assess more deeply — including iridology.

And when you combine the two?
You don’t just help people feel better.
You help them get their lives back.

You observe your patients/clients as they walk into the room.

You notice their gait, posture, skin, hair, energy, mood, and how they sit. You do a quick tally of what you’re seeing.

Then you ask “What brings you in today?”

Did you notice their eyes? Are they bright? moist? dull? dry? bloodshot? jaundiced?

You ask a few questions. Maybe requisition a few tests. Make some recommendations. Write a scrip if it’s within your scope of practice.

Sound familiar?

If you looked closely at their eyes, their irides and sclerae to be specific, would you see things that correlate to their symptoms and help you connect predispositions to underlying imbalances like liver function, blood sugars, digestion, kidney function, intestinal function, heart and circulation?

It’s all there - you just need to know what to look for.

Let’s face it, advertising costs money and sucks precious energy - and it’s not the forte of most holistic health care providers.

And that means the life blood of any 1:1 health-coaching business is long-term, repeat clients.

Do you really wake up in the morning going ‘Yippee! I get to spend the day writing ad copy’? I didn’t think so. I don’t either.

What fuels my energy is looking at my calendar and seeing the names of clients I have worked with for years, even decades. I know their stories, background, current health challenges - and probably even their parents, children, aunts, and uncles. I’ve probably seen them through births, deaths, marriages, divorces, relocations, and job losses. And for some of my clients, all of the above. We have a bond that is tangible.
What do you need to do so clients will want to be ‘lifers' with you? Here’s my three top tips.

1) Provide amazing, client-focused service - no cookie-cutter programs here. If they want pat answers, they’ll go to Dr Bing or Dr Google, and likely end up confused. If they want personalized answers, they need to be working with you.

2) Do courtesy check-ins after each appointment - follow-up. I remember how impressed I was the first time our dentist called after extracting my son’s wisdom teeth 25 years ago. That was the beginning of my habit of following up with clients. (Thank you, Dr. Steed)

3) Provide a service that no one else provides that does not add time to your appointments or expense to your fees - in my clinic that is iridology. Taking photos of someone’s eyes close up, then being able to correlate their symptoms to genetic markers in their eyes, using that info to craft easy-to-follow, unique recommendations keeps them wanting to come back. It’s personal. It’s unique. It gives me insight quickly. It creates deeper rapport.

So, if you would rather be energized by building your long-term client list than drained by writing ad copy, reach out to me. I’ll introduce you to iridology at a professional level.
