A Journey of Health and Continued Healing
In January 2017, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Faced with the challenge, I made a conscious decision to take control of my health. Drawing from my experience as a personal trainer, I recognized the profound impact nutrition could have on managing my symptoms.
I discovered the Whole30 which which was a valuable self experiment. I felt significant improvement in my well-being, and through structured reintroduction I learned what foods were triggers for my body.
My journey didn’t stop there. I delved into the realm of functional medicine, understanding that true healing requires a holistic approach and it’s not just about the food on your plate. There’s so much more. It’s never easy, but if your purpose is greater than your challenges you will find your way. My “why” was so strong. I wasn’t going to let this disease change my life.
The Whole30 initiated my healing but also inspired me to become a Whole30 Certified Coach and later, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Certified International Health Coach. I understand the importance of having a trusted “guide on the side” during this challenging journey. Your body holds the answers, but coaches can be game-changers.
Coaching is ingrained in my nature. Whether it’s coaching basketball, soccer, being a Beachbody Coach, personal trainer, or Group Fitness instructor, my passion has always been about sharing knowledge and helping others. Now, my heart and soul are dedicated to riding shotgun for many on their health journey.
I am also the host of the Ripple Effect Connection podcast where I’m able to connect people to all the valuable insight I’ve received along the way through some amazing guests.
