I believe that there is a time and a place for conventional medicine.

But it shouldn’t be your go-to for chronic symptoms.

• You don’t have to wait for a catastrophic event to make health changes. Those nagging symptoms are your body’s way of communicating. When you continue to ignore them, they will get louder.

• I wholeheartedly stand behind conventional medicine when it comes to stabilizing a healthcare crisis, but it is not equipped to handle chronic disease. In today’s world we are seeing more and more chronic diseases; over half of Americans are currently struggling with a chronic disease and this number is only projected to increase. Our current healthcare model is not set up to handle this and taking “a pill for your ill” is not your only option.

• You know your body best. You may not know the why behind all of your symptoms, but when something doesn’t feel right, listen to your intuition. Advocate for yourself and find someone who can help you.

After hitting rock bottom with my health and many many google searches, I came across functional medicine. I went back to school to educate myself and in the process, realized that this work could help so many people.

I learned to heal my gut, restore my minerals, and got my life back - without meds, a graveyard of supplements or longterm food restrictions. My bloating and constipation resolved, my thyroid levels increased, and the brain fog lifted. I started sleeping better, my skin cleared up, and I don’t even recognize the girl in those photos from years ago.

Your symptoms are real. Your gut feeling is legit. And whatever you do, do not let anyone else tell you to, “Not worry about it,” no matter how many credentials they have.

I am forever grateful for my health struggles because it led me to this. Nothing makes me happier than helping others restore their metabolism and get their vibrancy back. You ready??
