This all really hit home for me when I got pregnant and had my daughter. Prior to, given my career, I thought I “knew it all” for what it took to be healthy and have a healthy pregnancy. Fast forward and she was born with health issues and I was left completed depleted hormonally + energetically in postpartum, I realized that as “healthy” as I thought I was with diet and exercise, I was actually missing some key puzzle pieces prior to getting pregnant…and that things could have been better had I gotten to the root cause before conceiving.

Then, a few years later when my son was born with crazy eczema despite the lifestyle we lead, I realized the important of ENVIRONMENTAL ROOT CAUSES like mold, Lyme, parasites, etc. can have even if you have done the work to balance your hormones and live an overall cleaner life.

So many of us don’t feel “right” and are in disbelief when doctors tell us everything is “fine” based on our bloodwork.

I was one of those people. I pushed myself for many years working high-stress jobs in an over-scheduled life and eventually started to feel the toll it had taken on my body. I went to a doctor and ran labs that came back “normal”- yet I still felt like crap.

This is where Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) came into play. As an FDN-P, I analyze functional lab testing that take a deep look at the actual function within the body in numerous ways, instead of just traditional bloodwork at the doctor’s office that tells you you’re “normal” even though you know you’re not.

For myself, THIS was the missing puzzle piece. Despite my functional doc telling me that my labs were fine, my FDN review showed me:

My hormones were non-existent, I was in an exhaustive state, I had several gut pathogens, severe leaky gut and in dire need of mineral balancing…and this is coming from someone who has been very health conscious for years! This was a huge wakeup call in realizing that what may be healthy for someone else may actually be poisonous for my body.

I had to take a step back and realize that health is a MUCH bigger, interconnected web than I previously thought. 

 Because of my own experience and the frustration so many of my clients have shared over the years, I am so thankful to be able to now provide such personalized testing and lifestyle recommendations that I can confidently say will change your life. I honestly believe that I was put on this earth to navigate the health challenges I have so that I could be equipped to help others on their own journey.

I am down-to-earth and realistic- I know that Rome wasn’t built in a day and that change is hard, but it can be done and it is SO worth it! I would be honored to help you solve your health problems and optimize your health so you can be fully present in your life for your work and those you love.
