My Story
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (Autoimmune Thyroid Disease) when I was 16. It took me years to discover that food was the main trigger and thus the key to managing my autoimmune disease. Exercise and stress are also factors on the path to wellness, but if your diet is not right, then nothing else will work. Visit my BLOG to learn more about my journey.
I’ve been there. I never thought I would feel well again. Decades after my diagnosis, I figured out how to control my illness instead of having it control me.
I know how time consuming anti-inflammatory diets can be. I spend several hours in the kitchen each day prepping meals from scratch for myself, my daughter (who also has Hashimoto’s) and my son (who has a rare metabolic disorder and nearly died as an infant until I put him on a fructose-free diet).
After experiencing first-hand the power of dietary change over disease manifestation, I have made it my mission to help those who are suffering.
I am an educator, mother of two and agent of change. I earned a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Richmond and a Master of Science in Management from the University of Florida’s School of Business. I am an ACE Certified Health Coach and Fitness Nutrition Specialist. I am also a Certified Medical Coder who has expert knowledge of ICD-10 diagnoses. With my training and certification, I know what symptoms correlate with particular diagnoses and can help guide you towards managing those symptoms. Over the past decade, I have published books and written articles about health and medicine.
I was on my own health odyssey for two decades and saved my newborn son’s life through diet. I believe that we are the best diagnosticians of our own health, but we often need a mentor to support us in our efforts. I know firsthand that knowledge, discipline and patience can take anyone from illness to wellness.
Now is the time to act. You may be in the early stages of your autoimmune disease or other inflammatory disorder. Your physician may have given you prescriptions that don’t seem to be helping. You may have been living with symptoms for decades like I did. Wherever you are, the fact is that the sooner you make changes, the sooner you can feel better!
I suffered from Hashimoto’s for over 20 years before I finally took control over it. No doctor could (or would) give me anything more than a prescription for my thyroid medication. It was my own research and determination that led me to the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2017. In my book, You Are What You DON’T Eat, I describe my path and share with you my labs before and after starting the AIP. My antibodies dropped dramatically and my symptoms disappeared.
