How my family's life was transformed by Functional Medicine
Your life can change at any given moment.
For me... at the age of 35...I found myself in a hospital room listening to a pediatric neurologist explain that my 8 year old daughter needed to have anti-seizure medication for life...
This was in the aftermath of her 4th seizure in the past 12 hours. I didn't understand what had happened to my seemingly healthy daughter. She had always been sensitive and struggled with anxiety, but nothing debilitating, YET.
And then she started to have seizures...and would have as many as 10-15 episodes in a day. Eventually she was put on 4 different benzodiazepine medications (12 pills a day!) just to make it through a 24 hour period episode free.
We were at one of the most prestigious children's hospitals in the country to find the cause of these seizures, but after lab tests came back we were told "everything looks normal," and "sometimes these things can be hereditary."
... and something deep inside of me knew there was more to the story of why my daughter started to have seizures. There had to be a root cause we were missing.
At that time I didn't realize this would set me on a path that would forever change my hormone health.
After my daughter's huge health crisis, I took things into my own hands and learned to heal her body using Functional Medicine...this forever changed our family.
Functional Medicine really dives deeper into a person's unique biochemical makeup to understand what may be going on in that person's body causing nagging symptoms or chronic illnesses. It gives actual solutions for how to reverse what's going on inside, re-wire the body, and thrive.
This allowed my daughter to heal! In 9 months time she went from being on 12 pills a day to zero and has never had a seizure since.
All of a sudden I had a new understanding of what was possible for my auto-immune condition Hashimoto's Thyroiditis that had been diagnosed a few years earlier. I saw first hand the power of our body to heal and transform into a totally new normal.
I applied the same Functional Medicine root cause resolution to my thyroid disease and was able to reverse this dynamic too. And my husband healed from his panic attacks and life-long allergies too!
I was hooked.
I studied for four years to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and an Applied Functional Medicine Health Coach.
I wanted to help people from all around the world using PERSONALIZED data via these amazing functional medicine laboratory tests. I wanted to empower people to learn what their body needed to heal with nutrition, supplements, sleep, lifestyle and mindset. I wanted to be there with them every step of the way, not just watch women resign to living with terrible symptoms that rob them of feeling fully well!
I am obsessed with this journey of becoming empowered around your health, and I can't wait for you to feel this fire too! Since then, I've supported hundreds of women to transform their hormone health and get their body's back from the terror's of:
Hashimoto's
Hypothyroidism
Insulin resistance
Anxiety
PCOS
Pituitary tumors
Many more hormone imbalances
If taking control of your hormone health is something you're wanting also, this is your sign to DO IT. It may just be the best decision you will EVER make in your life.
