Little did I know that my health knowledge would continue to be a valuable resource in assisting my loved ones. My husband serves as a prime example of the transformative effects that nutrition and lifestyle adjustments can yield. Battling a chronic condition that plagued him from the age of 15 until 9 years ago, his frequent hospital visits painted a bleak picture. However, through my guidance, his health has remarkably improved, defying the odds of what could have been a fatal outcome. These personal encounters have proven to be invaluable lessons, fostering an expansion of my understanding of diverse health conditions and the efficacy of complementary medicine.
My personal health challenges have prompted me to concentrate on gut health and histamine intolerance. Dealing with digestive issues since childhood, they intensified in 2015. Since that time, I have devoted myself to sharing my expertise and serving as an example in this particular area.

My Story
My interest in the health field sparked at the age of 10 when my grandpa battled stage 4 throat cancer with a blend of conventional and alternative medicine under my mom's care. Witnessing the profound impact of nutrition and health on well-being, I became attuned to the significant role it can play in people's lives. The worrisome patterns in the American diet and food quality have become evident, playing a role in the rising rates of cancer, diseases, and gastrointestinal health issues across the country. Motivated by these insights, I pursued an education in health and wellness, combining formal learning with personal experiences to help others.
