My Story

When I was 27 years old and in what I thought was great shape, I went in for my annual physical. My cholesterol was incredibly high and my doctor wanted to put me on a statin. I didn’t feel comfortable with that decision, so I went home and began doing my own research. Armed with new information, I ordered tests for myself that my doctor refused to order for me, and found a different doctor who wasn’t dismissive of my concerns and who was willing to partner with me as I embarked on my healing journey.

This experience led me to realize that many treatments and prescriptions I’d received (like being put on hormonal birth control at 18 to “fix” my horrific periods) were simply masking underlying issues. My own struggle to move beyond a band-aid approach to health fueled a passion in me to pursue sustained, life-long wellness by focusing on the foundations of health and digging for root causes of symptoms rather than simply chasing and covering them up. Now I empower others to take charge of their own health!
