My story began when I suspected that the medication (Prilosec) my doctor put me on long term for a rare inflammatory esophagus condition I have (EOE) was actually making me worse, causing constant painful burping, acid reflux and a nagging feeling that my overall health was falling apart.

When I reached my breaking point one day and dove into deep research, I discovered functional medicine & nutritional therapy & learned I was right...

We cannot simply shut off a key body function (stomach acid production) and expect that digestion will work. Without proper digestion, we can’t optimally absorb the nutrients in food. This causes a ripple effect of multiple health issues in seemingly unconnected areas.

With a few tweaks to my diet & supplements, I achieved near complete resolution of my main symptoms, much faster than I ever imagined.

Eager to learn more, I enrolled in a holistic nutrition certification program to become a FNTP. The more I learned in that program, the more I realized how much I didn't know, and I dove deeper into peeling back the layers of my underlying health issues to achieve more complete healing and resolution.

Upon graduation, I began work as the in-house health coach in a local functional medicine clinic, alongside doctors using a holistic approach for patients with complex illness.  I spent close to one year working in that clinical environment, and what I discovered completely shocked me:

Patients who were working with some of the most talented functional medicine professionals in the area, spending hundreds or thousands of dollars undergoing advanced lab testing and aggressive IV and supplementation protocols...were still struggling to make the same basic diet changes that had helped me so much on my journey that help bring the body back in balance. 

I had learned that in the case of complex chronic illness, diet alone is often not enough to fully resolve the root cause, but a nutrient dense real food diet is the first foundational step that is key to removing the top negative inputs, calming the storm and creating the right environment for any of the other more advanced treatments to properly work. 

Doing more advanced treatments without addressing this foundational step was like fighting an uphill battle.

Yet information alone was not enough. Patients in the clinic often had a good sense of how they SHOULD be eating.  But implementation is where most people struggle.  

So I quickly learned how to translate the same systems and methods I had used myself (to quickly transition to a therapeutic real food diet and stick to it almost effortlessly over the long term) into frameworks I taught my clients as best I could in the limited window of time we had in our 1:1 sessions.  

And it worked.  The clients who actually implemented these frameworks and continued with the process got great results, told me they felt better than ever, and gave me raving feedback.  

But some clients slipped through the cracks.  My schedule became so booked up that after our initial 60 minute session, clients sometimes couldn’t get a follow up appointment for another month or longer.  

It was not feasible to teach this entire framework in a single 60 minute session, and teaching it in bits and pieces over weeks or months didn’t work for many people’s needs.  Without being able to fully convey the big picture, many people simply dropped off and did not continue with nutritional therapy after a single session.  

Not only that, but it wasn’t the best fit for my own personal working style and long-term goals.  With prior experience running a healthy recipe blog, I had always felt called towards and serving an online audience and delivering online education. 

Over the course of several years, I tested different methods for delivering my best systems, frameworks, tools, and templates into an effective online curriculum that helps clients achieve simply magical life-changing transformation in their health and overall life.

Long story short, this led me to package everything up into the best possible format for achieving both the quick wins and long term lasting transformation: Real Food Reboot. 

If you have even an inkling of curiosity and you feel called to learn more, go ahead and submit your application for the program. Just do it :)

I would absolutely love to have you in the upcoming live private training as well as in the Real Food Reboot program if we determine you are a good fit.
