FDN-P, NASM CPT
My health journey started at the age of 10 when I began experiencing severe gut issues daily. Despite numerous tests and appointments with specialists, I spent years with unexplained symptoms: persistent stomach aches, chronic fatigue, delayed puberty signs, and being severely underweight at 14. Desperate for answers, my mom and I took matters into our own hands, researching and discovering the Mediator Release Test – a functional test that measures diet-induced sensitivities. The results revealed a high dairy and gluten sensitivity, finally explaining why I felt the way I did. Although my health experience was beyond difficult, it highlighted the meaning of “food is medicine.” Obsessed with learning more about holistic health, I fell in love with functional medicine and made it my mission to help others through their healing journeys.

When I was 19, I was the image of fit and health-conscious, but my body was breaking down. Mysterious symptoms had me seeing doctor after doctor, but I was left with no answers. It wasn’t until I did my own research and ran functional labs that I found my breast implants were the root issue. They had triggered an inflammatory response from head to toe — brain fog, thyroid issues, food intolerances, PCOS, irregular periods, joint pain, and hair loss, to name a few. Even after removal, the lingering damage caused SIBO and mast cell activation (MCAS). Through holistic practices, I began to heal and renew my health. Looking back, I’m grateful for my struggles as they led me to find my passion and purpose — helping others find healing and renewal through holistic medicine.
