My Story

Have you ever been to the doctor's office with lab work results, that they found nothing, and everything looks "good", yet you don't feel good? How could my results be normal? I left feeling confused and frustrated. This was me several years ago. In fact, I was feeling so miserable, that my symptoms were interfering with all aspects of my life. Sound familiar?

My symptoms were gut issues, along with anxiety, skin issues, hormonal issues, neurological issues, all of which are correlated. The diagnosis was a very common condition known as irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, a diagnosis given in the absence of any other causative disease. Medications were a temporary solution, which only made my condition worse over time. It was then when I began to read, research, and learn about what was really going on with me on a physiological level.

My inquisitive nature led me to a journey where I discovered nutrition was the solution, a sustainable solution. In fact, it was and is the solution to many of the most common health conditions that continue to rise in the U.S. - diabetes, obesity, autoimmune conditions, anxiety, and depresion to name a few. Through food, nutrition, effort and perseverance on my part, I was able to overcame my personal struggles with health and zero medications. It was quite fascinating to learn that nutrition plays a significant role on many of the health conditions mentioned above. People just need some guidance, just like I once needed.

That was my motivation to go back to school for a graduate degree to dive deeper into this field and use it to eventually educate and motivate others about it. My hope is that I can provide the guidance you are looking for to discover how you can optimize your health. I discovered my sweet spot with food and nutrition. Now, I am super excited to help you discover your sweet spot with nutrition!
