About

I am a certified Health & Wellness Coach, Certified Tennis Coach, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Certified Personal Trainer. I have my Master's in Public Health, in Health Education and Communication, work full-time as a Health Promotion Specialist, teach tennis, and personally train clients on the side. I've always been passionate about health, and used to work for a functional medicine doctor as a Health Coach. I've been studying functional/integrative medicine books and podcasts for at least 15 years. Supplements have made a major difference in my well-being and vitality, and I hope that others who need support can experience the same relief and support. Thorne supplements, protein powders, and electrolytes have helped me immensely when I've experienced various conditions such as adrenal dysfunction, fatigue & brain fog (from Covid), mold toxicity (from an apartment I lived in where I discovered mold), heavy metal toxicity (from amalgam fillings and lead in water pipes), and SIBO (from a parasite). From all of these experiences, I learned a lot. I was fortunate enough to go to a functional medicine doctor, and do various tests where I could see exactly what was going on, such as certain nutrient deficiencies, and was recommended to take supplements that filled those gaps I had, to help support the body in healing and making me more functional and vital. Today, I take many supplements, and they make me feel more energetic, more awake, more focused. When I don't take them, I notice less energy. I'm also aware of how our soil nowadays, because of modern farming practices like monocropping, is more depleted of nutrients than it used to be. Additionally, it can be difficult to meet the body's daily nutrient requirements through only food. For all of these reasons, I am a believer in taking supplements regularly!
