Here's a bit about my story!

After years of battling unexplained health issues at a young age and spending most of my adolescent years sick, I finally hit rock bottom my first year of college. By my second year, I was forced to move back home because I could not function or comprehend information in my classes. I was skin and bones despite eating all day long, couldn’t stand without seeing stars, had terrible brain fog, my hormones + cycle were completely out of whack and I had absolutely debilitating fatigue. It was clear my body was in overdrive….but why?

Next I proceeded to be passed from specialist to specialist only to be given options such as anti-depressant medications, long term antibiotics or surgery to remove organs and “see if it helps.” So I did what most of us do - agree to what the doctor says…..again and again and again. Unfortunately many of the solutions put me in a deeper state of sickness, some of the them even leaving long term damage. I was just one of the millions of Americans to experience a broken healthcare system….one that was reactive instead of proactive.

I’m thankful for a medical system and modern medicine - they have their time and place. You bet I know exactly where I’m going if I have a broken bone or i’m in an accident that needs immediate attention. But for chronic health concerns or prevention health, there weren’t many options in the conventional system aside from surgery and medication, neither of which alone address the root cause of the issue.

Eventually I said enough was enough. It was time to advocate for myself because it was clear no one else what going to do it for me. I took my health into my own hands to learn, educate, and empower myself to heal….and find the missing pieces in our healthcare system. And so my journey in functional health began!

I’ve been in your shoes! I know how frustrating it is to be told “everything is normal” when in fact you feel horrific. I firmly believe God put me through those obstacles to learn on a deep and personal level how to heal myself so I can help others do the same and possibly save them from the pain I endured. If you take away one thing from this, please know your symptoms are real. They are not in your head. And I’m here to help you.
