Seeking whole body wellness has always been a common thread throughout my life. Even as a teenager, I sought out dietary changes on my own when constant trips to the doctors for my persistent exhaustion amounted in answers like "you're fine" and "your blood work is normal". I've had digestive issues, acne, a poor body image and low energy for what seems like most of my adult life, but when I was six months post-partum, these symptoms were the worst I'd ever experienced and knew I needed real change. All other treatments I had sought out seemed incomplete. When I finally discovered functional diagnostic nutrition (FDN), I knew it was the answer I was searching for all along. It ties all of my background, life experience and education together with one simple philosophy: find the underlying problems and address them holistically with actual data. I knew that if FDN could help me, I could teach others and help them as well.
