My Story

​

Although I thought my story began when my symptoms became so out of control, my gift of multiple autoimmune illnesses started long before that. 

As an infant, child and into adulthood, I had more than 100 doses of antibiotics. I developed asthma in early childhood and received strong daily doses of steroids to breath. Allergies were out of control, being allergic to most everything. Adolescence brought upon yo-yo dieting and eating disorders. Young adulthood was filled with anxiety, depression, every other systemic symptom you can't imagine and then some. Of course I tried to be as "healthy" as possible, eating a ton and I mean a TON of whole wheat products. I had always been consistent with working out, but in my late 20s, things just kept getting worse and all of the weight I was able to keep off through extreme caloric deficit and psychotic 4-5 hour workouts, started creeping back. Not to mention that I was ALWAYS sick, always dead tired, had huge cystic acne, aggressive mood swings, 3-4 hours of sleep on a good night, severe depression and anxiety plus so much more. 

During that time, I was on the Dr pendulum. I spent tens of thousands of dollars to be told that it was all in my head and fed multiple medications which only made everything worse. FINALLY I went to an integrative Dr who did in depth thyroid testing, most other doctors said I was too young although I have a family history. We discovered I had Hashimotos disease. Then went several more years of going from specialist to specialist in an attempt to level my hormones properly. More meds, more symptoms.  I felt like everyone around me was doubting me, even myself! The symptoms were getting so bad that I seriously considered suicide.  

I was so blessed to have the right people in my life to support me through this time.  I decided that I would take charge of my own health and stop doing everything the doctors told me to if it felt wrong for my body. I started learning more about Hashimotos and started to level my hormones with a more educated functional Dr. The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I gave myself metabolic damage with the intense daily workouts and starvation diets. Through the guidance of several inspiring and kind professionals in the fitness industry, I healed the metabolic damage, started eating more and working out less and really started loving myself for who I was and working more on the inner me. 

​

​​Then in 2016, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was heartbroken. I felt like it was a life sentence. I quickly snapped out of it and decided that day that I would NOT be a victim. I would no longer live in fear or pain. I decided that I would never take medication for RA and that I wanted to be off of ALL of my current meds for asthma. I became determined to not only heal myself naturally but reverse my autoimmune diseases. In 2018, I fully reversed my disease states and went into remission!!! NO more asthma steroids or synthetic pharma drugs! 

 

I became so passionate about this that I made drastic lifestyle changes. I began the retirement process from my long time very successful public role in entertainment and modeling & I enrolled myself into school to become a Holistic Nutritionist, Practitioner, Autoimmune Protocol certified coach, and Expert Trainer. I knew that I had found my calling. I am here to help inspire, guide and change peoples lives. Even if we take baby steps together towards improving your health, you do not have to stay sick. Its not normal to be tired all of the time. Its not normal to have GI issues. Its not normal to be sick! The body is designed to be well, and to heal itself. It can take a lot of abuse from us but when its finally had enough, you will know. If you want to change your life and start living your BEST life, there is no better time than NOW!
