Early Struggles with Weight & Hormones
I struggled with my weight from a young age, trying fad diets and intense workouts with no lasting results. Unaware that hormonal issues were the root cause, I dealt with severe PMS, mood swings, and irritability, until I was diagnosed with PMDD in my early 30s.
Discovering Integrative Health
Real change began when I took control of my health, focusing on sustainable lifestyle shifts—nutrition, supplements, and exercise that felt good, not stressful. I lost significant weight, but my journey wasn't just about a number on the scale - it was about healing from the inside out. Functional medicine lab tests revealed that chronic stress was damaging my hormones and health. I discovered my body was depleted of key minerals and nutrients, which had been fueling my health issues for years.
My Mission
Now, I’m passionate about helping others who are struggling just like I was. I truly believe that by finding the root cause of your symptoms, you can heal and thrive. There is hope, and there is a better way to live—a way that doesn’t rely on masking symptoms but focuses on real, sustainable health solutions. My mission is to guide and empower others to do the same.
The Search for Answers
Determined to feel better, I turned to specialists, but the medications—SSRIs, birth control, and later Ozempic—only provided temporary relief. Birth control promised to 'balance my hormones,' but it didn’t address the root cause. These treatments masked symptoms but didn’t bring lasting health. Looking back, I realized they weren’t helping me reach my long-term health goals.
Finding Solutions
The turning point came when I found Integrative Health practices. By focusing on stress reduction, balancing my hormones naturally, and embracing sustainable health solutions, I was able to transform my health. Today, I no longer rely on medications to manage my symptoms. Instead, I have found lasting solutions that support both my physical and emotional well-being.
