✦ A Note from Willard ✦
An Invitation to My Patients
A community I trust built for people living with chronic pain, POTS, MCAS, long COVID, and the conditions that don't fit neatly anywhere.
By Willard Sheppy, L.Ac. · Valley Health Clinic
Why I'm Writing This
There's only so much we can cover in a single appointment.
If you're reading this, you're probably one of my patients — or someone considering becoming one. Either way, I'm glad you're here. I want to share something with you that I genuinely believe will help, but I don't have time to teach it fully during your acupuncture sessions.
It's an online community called Gut Brain Synchrony, and it's built specifically for people who are working through chronic pain, POTS, MCAS, long COVID, and the kind of layered conditions that conventional medicine often struggles with. I'm involved in this community, I help with it, and I trust the practitioners behind it.
The resources are free. You can join, learn, and be supported without paying anything. And if you take what you learn there and combine it with the work we're doing in clinic, my honest belief is that you'll heal faster and feel better than either would on its own.
"Acupuncture and herbs once a week are wonderful — but it's what you do every day, in between visits, that actually drives recovery."
— Willard Sheppy, L.Ac.
What's Inside
A community for people the system has overlooked
If you've been told it's all in your head, that there's nothing more to do, or that you should just learn to live with it — this is the kind of community that meets you where you are.
Daily Practices That Work
Breathing exercises, nervous system regulation, gut-supporting nutrition, and mindful practices. The things I'd teach you in clinic if we had three hours instead of forty-five minutes.
People Who Get It
A community of folks navigating the same chronic conditions you are — chronic pain, POTS, MCAS, long COVID — sharing what's actually moving the needle for them.
Free Classes & Trainings
Synchrony Training, gut-brain modules, and live sessions — all included at no cost. The free tier alone has more than most chronic illness programs offer at any price.
The Honest Truth
I can't fit everything you need into a single appointment.
When you come in for treatment, my focus is on the work in front of us — the needles, the herbs, the body before me. I don't have time during a session to walk you through every breathing technique, every dietary shift, or every nervous-system practice that could speed up your recovery.
That's exactly the gap this community fills. The teachers there have built out the educational pieces in a way I simply can't replicate one-on-one. They can guide you through the techniques, week after week, in your own home, at your own pace. And then you bring that progress back to clinic — where we can build on it together.
Think of it as multiplying our work together, not replacing it.

There are different levels to the community. Start where it makes sense for you — there's no pressure to upgrade.
The Free Tier
Learn & Be Supported
You're more than welcome to just learn the techniques and get support from people in the community. Free classes, training modules, live sessions, and a place to ask questions and share what's working. This is more than enough for many of my patients.
Join FreeFor Deeper Care
The Premium Tier
Personalized Herbs & Clinical Team
For patients who want individual care: the premium tier connects you with a team of doctors who review your case, write personalized herbal prescriptions, and screen for herb-drug interactions. A genuine clinical layer on top of what we do here in clinic.

— Willard Sheppy, L.Ac.
Daily Botanical Support
Gut Harmony for the days between visits
Many of the techniques you'll learn in the community pair beautifully with botanical support for the gut-brain axis. Gut Harmony is the formula I trust for daily microbiome and gut-brain support — the kind of background work that lets the deeper healing happen.
