If there’s one thing I’m deeply passionate about, it’s helping people feel less confused about how to live a healthy, happy life.
Because, let’s be honest, it’s way too confusing.
Now, this wasn’t something I was fully aware of until I had to face some serious health issues of my own back in 2014, when no one seemed to know what was wrong with me.
You see, after a pretty terrible bout of food poisoning, I was left with severe stomach pains and digestive issues.
In just 5 months, I had gone to 12 different GI doctors, all of which were unsuccessful at giving me a real diagnosis. In fact, most of them concluded that my symptoms were psychological, not physical.
Frustrated and worried that I’d ever feel like myself again, I finally connected with a doctor who was willing to do more extensive testing, and I was diagnosed with a low functioning thyroid. Cue the medication (Synthroid to be exact).
While it was a relief to have clarified one piece of the puzzle, it didn’t explain or remedy the bigger problem: my digestive issues
Determined to get to the root of my symptoms, I was thrilled to find a functional medicine doctor who through even more testing discovered that I had both SIBO and candida: two bacterial imbalances in the gut that were the cause of my pain and discomfort.
Finally, a diagnosis that made sense! Albeit, 2 years later.
After 3 years of feeling alone, misunderstood, and pretty darn hopeless, I’ve realized a few things.
There is a serious lack of knowledge in the medical community.
You should never give up on finding the right doctor for you.
It is possible to find powerful relief from a chronic condition.
How you feel in your body is 100% related to how you eat, move, and live.
My passion lies in helping women live their best lives naturally. Healing mentally and physically is no joke. It takes willpower and hard work. But I’m proof that it’s 100% worth it and I want to be here to help guide you through.
