I struggled for years with migraines, digestive issues, and constant fatigue as well as endless colds and infections that just kept getting worse despite everything I tried. Then things took a dark turn and I ended up in complete organ failure. It was only after this experience where there were no longer any other available options, that I truly started to research and understand diet and nutrition. 

This began my calling to impact the lives of others including life changing health transformations for my closest family as well as complete strangers. I love teaching others how to be healthy using simple strategies that fit into today’s busy lifestyles.

I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Health and Wellness Consultant, Sports Nutritionist, Weight Management Consultant, and Master Nutritionist. I have had the unique opportunity to learn from and be mentored by numerous MDs, NDs, chiropractors, herbalists, researchers, and nutritionists on a wide variety of health topics. 

Despite my formal education, it is my own health challenges and life experience that has most informed my way of teaching health. I am not the kind of person who enjoys strict workout routines or kale smoothies (or actually any vegetables lol!). You could probably call me a little lazy – so in order for it to work for me, it has to be easy!

My goal is to be able to still keep the foods we love but make healthier versions of them. I believe in eating delicious, good for you foods such as icecream, breads, pizza, brownies, cakes, and other desserts that are truly mouth-watering and delicious. If the food you eat isn’t delicious for the whole family and easy to make, I know that neither you nor I will stick with any lifestyle program for very long.

It’s the same when it comes to your supplements or fasting. If what you do isn’t easy, convenient, and customized to you, as well as make a big difference in how you feel, I know you will have a hard time making any good health practice a habit.

And as a mentor once said, “It isn’t the big things you do once in a while but rather the little things you do every day that count and will change your life!” Your health will only truly improve if you make consistent positive choices every day. 

I host a popular weekly podcast that covers topics from current health events to nutrition and diet. You can find it by going to Living Healthy Today.

I have also co-written and edited numerous short books on nutrition and diet. Reading the latest research in medicine and natural health is a favorite pastime. When I’m not studying or teaching nutrition, my favorite pastime is relaxing outdoors in the mountains near the river!
