Growing up my siblings played sports and mentioned here and there why they were choosing to avoid certain foods or really focus in on others. I was more of the musical child, so sports consisted of a one-year 6th grade basketball career for me. However, I did love to move and be active. Unfortunately, as a grew into my teen years this love for movement turned into an obsession to be thin. Along with overexercising, I restricted my calories to an amount no teen girl can thrive on, let alone one who is working out two plus hours per day. 

 

As a result of my unhealthy nutrition and lifestyle habits, my period disappeared. I started to panic. I didn't know much about nutrition at this point in my life, but I knew enough to know NO MENSTRUAL CYCLE = NO KIDS SOMEDDAY.  For a girl who loved playing with baby dolls well into my teens (I know, I know), and dreamed of being a mom someday, I knew something had to change!

​

The problem was...I knew nothing about how to fuel my hormones. This sent me on a deep dive into nutrition. I had always heard "eat your broccoli" but WHY?! What's so good about broccoli anyway!?

I started a journal writing down the names of all different fruits and vegetables and how they function in the body and what they have to offer on a cellular level. I began a plant-based diet, which I kept up for about four years. I learned so much about whole foods and how they can heal the body.

 

During those four years I saw little improvement to my menstrual cycle. I knew I needed more help. Through working with a of a Holistic Nutritionist I took a DUTCH test, which is a comprehensive hormone panel. This test revealed that my hormones were in the menopausal ranges! Ummm not good!! I utilized every recommendation my Holistic Nutritionist gave me which ranged from foods to include back into my diet, a supplement protocol, and lifestyle factors. Are you ready?... Within one month my cycle came back and I've never missed a period since!

​

That was it! I was hooked and committed to helping others overcome their own health struggles using food as medicine! I went to nutrition school and studied countless books, programs, bootcamps, webinars, became a professional member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP), and started my own company to help others. I will never be done learning and that is one of the reasons I love this profession. However, when I can take what I have learned and help someone who was like me, knowing they need a change but not sure how to do it, and guide them into living their wholest life...that is a dream come true. No matter your health history, current struggle, goal or future desires...you can be WHOLE.
