William is the founder of Holistic Junky, his clinical practice that utilizes a combination of nutrition and Iridology to help his clients reach optimal health. In 2009 William was in a terrible accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down and deeply anxious and depressed. He struggled with alcohol addiction and smoking (smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day) as well as a food addiction, and ultimately ended up obese and wheelchair bound. Being willing to try anything to turn his life around, William took a friends advice and started incorporating holistic nutrition and practices in his life. Today, William has lost over 140 lbs, has not used a wheelchair since 2015, no longer suffers from anxiety or depression, and has been clean for over 10 years! This experience has made him so incredibly passionate about helping others that need to rehabilitate themselves.

William is pleased to offer an exclusive discount for IHN students for his Iridology services – 30% off per session!
