I've Been Where You Are
I had never really struggled with my health. That was until after my second child was born. I started having diarrhea daily and feeling incredibly fatigued.
Doctors told me everything was "normal" and I was healthy. "Eat more fiber. Try this antibiotic." All while I was monitoring every substance I put in my body wondering if this food would be the one that I could actually eat without incident. Or wondering how I could leave the house without knowing where all the bathrooms were en route to my destination. Or if I could eat anything at the gatherings I would go to without paying for it.
All I wanted was to have energy, keep up with my kids, and have a solid poop! I was young, active, and in my 30s. I should be able to control my bowels and figure out what to eat! I started losing too much weight and was scared I was only beginning a downward health spiral. It was honestly the least control I've ever felt over my health in my life, and I hated it.
Then one day, a functional medicine podcast suggested that antibiotic use, food sensitivities, nutrition, hormone imbalances, and inflammation could cause diarrhea. Something sparked inside me. Restoring my health is my responsibility. I was determined to get to the bottom of why this was happening to me before my only option was invasive medical procedures and pharmaceuticals ridden with side effects.
Functional lab testing helped me identify the root causes of my gut dysfunction, inflammation, and fatigue. By applying the concepts of functional diagnostic nutrition, my healing accelerated. Now, I feel healthier than I have in years and am confident in how to keep my family healthy.
As a certified functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, I help women overcome fatigue, digestion, and other chronic health issues to show up as their best selves for their families, their careers, and their life adventures.
