I always thought I was a "good" eater...

...until a life-altering health diagnosis showed me otherwise!

Growing up as a competitive swimmer and water polo player, I took my health seriously. However, as an "Elder Millennial" growing-up in the 90's, the nutrition and diet trends of the time were absolutely abhorrent (hello, fat-free craze and eating only 1,200 calories! I would DIE if I did that today!)

Fast forward to 2021 and my year from hell...

I had just opened a shiny, new boutique fitness studio. Not even a month into opening our doors, my body TOTALLY BETRAYED ME!

After 8-months of various medical tests and feeling like death was around the corner, I was finally properly diagnosed with Addison's Disease, where my body doesn't produce it's own stress hormones. It's just about the dumbest auto-immune disorder. And yes, it can be fatal. Outside of the scary consequences, I truly thought to myself, "HOORAY! I can get the proper medications I need and move on with my life!"

WRONG! Life sure does have a sense of humor...

It was still another 2 years of sickness, learning, adapting, learning some more, getting sick some more, and feeling like hot-garbage, before I FINALLY felt like myself again.

The biggest lesson I learned through all this:
NUTRITION IS MEDICINE!

Here's the thing - what I learned as someone with an autoimmune disorder was that ANYONE AND EVERYONE can benefit from what I learned. I'm here to save you time, agony, EXPENSES, yo-yo dieting and confusion by sharing what I've learned to help you feel the best you've ever felt and live a truly THRIVING LIFE! And I promise you, the strategies I learned and currently do to this day are not complicated! I'll help you cut through the BS with what REALLY works!
