My Story
I didn’t always know I’d become a nutritionist, but I’ve always been someone who questioned what didn’t feel right.It started in my early 20s, when I watched my father—a man I loved and admired—fade into a version of himself that didn’t make sense. Doctor after doctor offered pills, labels, and surface-level answers, but no one seemed interested in the root of his suffering. I sat helplessly as he grew weaker, more confused, and more disconnected, while the system that was supposed to save him kept saying, “This is just normal.”
That experience cracked something open in me. It planted a seed of doubt in a system that everyone else seemed to trust without question. But I didn’t just watch my dad suffer—I started to fall apart, too.I was only in my 20s, but I was already exhausted all the time. Anxious. Wired but bone-deep tired. Struggling to focus. Pushing through it like a pro, but feeling like my body and brain were betraying me behind the scenes. I kept hearing I was “just stressed,” or “probably fine,” even as my symptoms stacked up and my spark dimmed. Turns out, I was dealing with full-blown adrenal exhaustion and undiagnosed ADD. No one saw it. I had to find the path myself.
And that’s exactly what I did.
Long before it was trendy to talk about the gut-brain connection, I started putting the puzzle together—neurotransmitters, inflammation, food, stress, the microbiome, hormone cascades. I became obsessed with how the brain talks to the body, and how healing can’t happen in isolation. Through that process, I didn’t just heal—I found my calling.What started as a personal health crisis turned into a professional mission: to help others who feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, or stuck find real answers and lasting resilience. I created the B.R.A.I.N. Method™ as a framework for that healing journey—one that’s personalized, data-driven, and built on the truth that our biology is not broken. It’s just out of sync. And it can be rewired.
You deserve more than vague advice and another prescription. You deserve someone who sees the full picture—someone who’s lived it, studied it, and built a proven path through it. That’s why I do this work: to provide a path I wish my father would've had.
Whether you're a burned-out adult running on fumes, or a parent watching your child struggle and wondering what’s really going on, I’m here to help you decode the chaos and rebuild from the inside out. If your intuition says there’s more to the story, you’re right. Let’s uncover it—together.
