Speaking to multiple specialists, learning the language, decoding labs and scans all while trying to advocate the best care for my husband was like receiving a crash course education in medicine. I was (and still am) very thankful for the advancement in medicinal therapies that our system has to offer, however the obvious missing piece that went unaddressed was nutrition and lifestyle. 

 

My husband was a diagnosis. His care was based on statistics, general protocols, and processes.  They never asked about his dietary and lifestyle patterns that may have led up to his stroke.  They chalked it up to genetics as if this was his fate all along and told him to exercise more.

​

Between my husband's and my own health hurdles and the lack of support in our medical system to dismantle the challenges at the root, I was determined to find a better way (a way I knew existed) to better health.

 

I didn't want to accept the paradigm of our genetics being our fate. 

 

After searching for an alternative, I stumbled upon functional medicine and functional nutrition.  A new paradigm for healthcare. One where the patient is at the core of care and is finally seen as a whole person and not statistic or a diagnosis.  I finally found a practice that helped me understand what was missing in my personal care. Fast forward to today, I have succeeded in getting off medication, my husband’s health has exponentially improved (he really has beat the odds) which had led me to want to educate, support, and advocate for others on how take control of their healing for themselves as well.

​

Because I have been at the mercy of these challenges and intimately understand how they can take over your life; I am on a relentless pursuit to help as many women as possible take back their control with their health. 

​

I want you to thrive again.
