Our community is filled with extraordinary healers doing inspiring work in the world, and we're thrilled to share their stories with you.
Meet Brandy Bright & April LoConti
Cleveland, OH | DHN & DSM
Two separate health crises. Two mothers asking the same questions.
Most people don't go looking for a career in holistic health. For Brandy Bright and April LoConti, it found them — through a vaccine injury, a case of mold illness, breast implant illness, and a podcast called Crunchy Moms Unfiltered that started as two moms comparing notes and turned into something much bigger. ✨💜 |

| Two Different Roads, Same Destination
Brandy's path started when her daughter was injured by a vaccine as an infant. What followed was a crash course she never asked for — nutrition, detoxification, environmental toxins, nervous system regulation, and root-cause healing.
Years later, a serious bout of mold illness added another layer to that education, this time centered on how much the environment we live in shapes the health we experience.
April arrived at the same place from a different direction. Breast implant illness, then mold illness, sent her searching for her own answers. Along the way, she started noticing patterns in her own children that pointed to vaccine injury — and that realization changed how her family approached health altogether.
Two separate health crises. Two mothers asking the same questions.
Eventually, those questions became Crunchy Moms Unfiltered — a podcast and media platform covering holistic wellness, non-toxic living, motherhood, faith, and root-cause health, where Brandy and April interview practitioners, collaborate with wellness brands, and create educational content for a growing community of families. |

| The Surprise Lesson
Ask Brandy and April what they expected to learn at Rockwell, and this probably wasn't it: the body is constantly trying to protect and heal you, even when what it's doing feels miserable.
That reframe — symptoms as communication rather than malfunction — became one of the most unexpected and most useful things they took from their training. It's the difference between fighting your body and listening to it, and they say it changes everything, moving you from fear into curiosity.
The personal growth caught them off guard, too. Both describe being challenged to think differently, ask better questions, and approach health with more humility and discernment than they came in with. |

| The Messages That Keep Coming
The proof, for Brandy and April, isn't theoretical — it shows up in their inbox. Listeners regularly tell them that learning about nervous system regulation, food ingredients, mineral balance, or detox support gave them hope after years of feeling stuck.
One recurring story: a mom cleans up her family's diet and sees a real shift in her child's behavior and energy — not a dramatic before-and-after, just a noticeable, lasting change.
That's the model Brandy and April build everything around: small, sustainable shifts that compound.
Not perfection. Not overnight overhauls. Just enough support for the body to do what it's already trying to do. |

| Where Rockwell Fits
Brandy is completing Rockwell's Nutritional Medicine program and is also a certified quantum nutrition response practitioner.
April is working through Rockwell's Spiritual Medicine program, alongside additional training as a naturopathic practitioner.
For both of them, Rockwell's emphasis on root-cause thinking — looking at the body as an interconnected system rather than a checklist of symptoms — fit naturally with the approach they'd already been building through their podcast. |

| Advice From Two Moms Who've Been There
"Start simple and stay curious."
Don't overhaul your life overnight — learn the foundations, support your body consistently, and give yourself permission to grow over time.
And don't underestimate the power of community: surround yourself with people who encourage critical thinking and balanced perspectives, because healing rarely happens in isolation.
