The "When Pigs Fly" Scholarship

The 'When Pigs Fly' Scholarship derives its name from a phrase shared with me by a patient many years ago: 'When pigs fly we will all get better.' The phrase has remained meaningful ever since, and pigs have become something of an informal emblem for me and what I do. In Live! with Dr. Stein I pass on what I've learned, what I've tried, and any new treatments, techniques, and strategies that may help us get closer to living the life we want.🐖 

As a member of Live! with Dr. Stein you receive:

  • Live 75-minute zoom calls every other Thursday to learn practical strategies and ask questions directly.
  • FREE access to the monthly Expert Speaker Series webinars to hear from leading clinicians and researchers working in chronic disease and recovery. (Approximately $252 per year value.)
  • Access to session recordings; if your energy is low or the timing doesn’t work, you can watch later.
  • A supportive online community; a place to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
  • Practical strategies you can apply immediately

Many members report leaving sessions with clear next steps they can try right away.

'When Pigs Fly' Scholarship 

This scholarship is enabled by the generosity of one of you who values the experience enough to donate funds to enable more of you to experience Live!. The offer is particularly intended for people who don't currently qualify for low-income pricing because they earn a bit over our 30,000/year limit but still struggle financially and can't afford the full membership amount. 

You will be supported at the low-income rate for up to 6 months as long as you are actively attending and engaging (see more below).

We know not everyone can attend the sessions live due to health limitations or your geographical location. No problem, you can watch the recordings and join in the community after.

There is an application process to help us select people with a commitment to active participation. The application form will ask for some general information, ask you to write a short motivational letter, including why you are seeking access, how you plan to use the program and your specific goals (include any limiting circumstances in this section), and asking for a commitment to ongoing engagement.

Eleanor Stein, MD

Dr. Eleanor Stein brings a rare combination of over 35 years of lived experience and medical expertise in myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, environmental sensitivities, long COVID and chronic pain.

She became ill with ME, CFS, FM and MCS in 1989. Since then, she has experienced, studied, and treated the full alphabet of related conditions, including joint hypermobility, orthostatic dysfunction and mast cell activation syndrome. She has personally tried hundreds of approaches, attended hundreds of medical conferences, and reviewed thousands of peer-reviewed papers to determine what works best for the greatest number of people.

Since retiring from medical practice at the end of 2022, Dr. Stein has dedicated her time to integrating emerging research in neuroplasticity, hormesis, circadian biology, and related fields. While traveling in her camper van, she continues to study and translate this research into practical, accessible programs designed to make the healing journey easier, safer, and more effective.
