How did I end up here?

Well, . . . one diagnosis led to another--anemia, GERD, Barrett's Esophagus, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, etc.

Like most people, my health issues were treated with prescription drugs. One from the endocrinologist, another from the gastrologist, and a third from the hematologist.

Needless to say, I'm not a fan of long-term medications, and I wasn't feeling any better by taking them!

My Search Began

I kept thinking there must be something I could do to get my energy back and feel like myself again!

My quest led me to the missing link in my treatment: FOOD!

Not one of my specialists had mentioned the role of food in dealing with my health conditions.

None of them explained how the food that I was eating was actually making my issues worse!

What a revelation!

You Really ARE What You Eat

I sought out a Functional Medicine doctor who connected all the dots with my illnesses and made recommendations based on a whole body approach. With the assistance of a health coach, we isolated and removed the foods that were aggravating my conditions, and replaced them with foods that healed my body. My symptoms diminished and my energy level increased!

I felt like myself again, even better!

Now I'm on a Mission

After experiencing first hand how eating the right foods significantly improved my life, I thought I had made a new discovery! I couldn't believe how much better I felt simply by adjusting my diet!

Needless to say, the concept has been around for some time! In 431 BC, Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food." Basically, by eating the foods we were created to eat, we reinforce the body's innate functioning capabilities and strengthen its natural, elaborate defense systems. Amazing!

Motivated to share this insight and knowledge with others, I became a certified health coach.

I want you to experience the same life-changing effects that food can provide.

I want you to feel the benefits of eating foods that enhance your body's operating powers.

Most importantly, I want you to feel great again!

Here's my rationale for healthy eating. . .

Eat to Nourish

Did you know that as a society, we are well fed, but alarmingly undernourished?

Many of us fail to meet the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

The packaged, processed foods are not providing the macronutrients and micronutrients we need to sustain our bodies.

Eating the most nutrient-dense foods, both plant and animal based, ensures that your body is receiving the proper fuel it requires for maximized functioning.

Eat to Heal

Did you know that what you eat does matter?

Whole foods, foods in their most natural state, are best. The higher the quality and the greater the variety, the better!

An improper diet can cause inflammation and could contribute to illness. Figuring out the foods that best promote healing in your body, especially if you've already been diagnosed with a health condition, such as an autoimmune disease, is key. Optimal eating can profoundly impact the management or reversal of a disease. It also decreases your risk of additional health diagnoses.

Eat to Live

Did you know that the majority of chronic diseases are diet-based?

Many of our illnesses could be prevented simply through our food selections!

We don't need a "pill for every ill."

Food is our remedy.

A healthy diet is a powerful tool for protecting one's health and slowing the effects of aging. Your food choices do influence your susceptibility for disease and the longevity of your life.

Daily, you need to eat, so why not eat in a way that improves your chances of a long and healthy life?!

Let food work for you not against you.

That is my motto!

I believe we should eat for a purpose.

View your food and eating habits as your secret weapon for a healthy life.

Use this every day, often mundane, task for your benefit, not your demise.

Feel empowered as the meals you prepare become life-promoting sources of nutrients for you and your family.

Your body was designed to eat whole, real foods!

Give your body the opportunity to run itself efficiently and effectively!

Discover how you feel, how you function, and how you strengthen your body when you eat the foods it truly craves.

Upgrade your diet to upgrade your health!
