When the biofield is intact, healing is limitless. Julie is a functional medicine practitioner with 40 years of experience who raised a son who never missed a day of school due to illness. Today she reveals the three steps every mom needs.

In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Julie E, MPH, RD, founder of Julie E Health, about taking control of your family's wellness without fear or overwhelm.

Julie shares her groundbreaking three-step framework:

- Step 1 - The Biofield: How EMF from your phone destroys your energy field and why a simple sticker can turn your device into a healing tool
- Step 2 - The Detox Assembly Line: Your body has 11 detox organs working like an assembly line — if one is clogged, everything backs up
- Step 3 - Scars & Dental Work: Old injuries, C-sections, and dental work create "traffic jams" in your energy meridians

She also reveals the 5-hour "head on pillow" rule that transformed Aimee's sleep, why kids with shin bruises often have weak kidneys, how she broke her toddler's fever in 15 minutes with an enema, and what waking at 3am vs 4am vs 5am actually means for your organs.

In this powerful episode of The Manage Her, Aimee Rickabus sits down with Amy Bohn — President and Co-Founder of PERK (Protection for the Educational Rights of Kids), one of California's most relentless advocates for parental rights and medical freedom. After suffering a severe brain injury in 2018, Amy couldn't read a page out loud or walk across a room. But when she discovered that California was systematically dismantling children's medical exemptions through SB 277 and SB 276, she refused to stay silent.

What started as one exhausted mom showing up at the Capitol became a movement. Under Amy's leadership, PERK has grown to over 30,000 members and driven more than 5 million emails, phone calls, and measurable actions to legislators. In 2022, her coalition defeated 8 out of 12 extreme bills targeting medical freedom — proving that organized parents can win, even in the most hostile political environments.

This conversation exposes the decade-long legislative strategy that removed personal belief exemptions, religious freedom, and medical autonomy from California families — and how it's being replicated in states across the country. Amy breaks down the shocking reality: 50,000 children in California RIGHT NOW cannot attend school, daycare, or college because of these laws.

In This Episode:

🧠 Overcoming brain injury to become a voice for the voiceless
⚖️ The brick-by-brick strategy behind SB 277 and SB 276
🚨 50,000 children currently denied education access in California
👨‍⚕️ How doctors were retroactively punished for legal medical exemptions
