I have had a passion for health and wellness for most of my life. While I didn’t grow up that way, I began implementing nutrition and fitness into my routine when I began college and it spilled over into our lives after my husband and I were married and had kids years later. Making healthy choices was a top priority for myself and my family, however, I still began to struggle with my health. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in my thirties and then Hypothyroidism shortly after that. I implemented strict dietary guidelines and tried to stay active multiple times per week, but I was under a lot of stress, owning and operating a large, multi-facility childcare center. This took a toll on my health more than I realized. I knew that I needed to feel my best so I could keep up with the demanding daily tasks, so I sought out multiple doctors and specialists only to find myself on medications that came with annoying side effects. I found myself frustrated and dealing with numerous debilitating symptoms on a daily basis. I knew I needed to take a deeper dive to learn more about natural health solutions, so I went back to school to become a Certified Nutritional Health Coach. It was fascinating to me what the body could do, given the necessary tools. This just fueled my fire to learn more about healing my body from the inside out. Not long after this, I completed my bachelor’s degree in health sciences with an emphasis in Health and Wellness. I knew that I wanted to know as much as I could about healing my body naturally, and I was also considering a career shift in order to help others in their health journey as well. After selling my childcare center, I decided it was time to focus on myself and healing my body 100% so I could be the best wife and mom I could be. That’s when I found Nutrition Response Testing at Mind and Body Solutions.
Nutrition Response Testing was the missing link to healing my body from the inside out. Everything started coming together as to why I was feeling the way I was feeling every day, even though I was working hard to be ‘healthy’. Shortly after starting at Mind and Body, I began to see real results and started feeling better and more equipped to handle everyday tasks and what life threw at me. Shortly after I started my journey, my husband and 3 girls also started finding their own healing as patients of Mind and Body as well.
My lifelong passion for health and wellness has come full circle. After becoming a patient, I knew that Nutrition Response Testing was what I wanted to do with this next chapter of my life. I knew that this path would allow me to utilize my education and my desire to help people at the same time.
Nutrition Response Testing has been the catalyst for achieving optimal health for myself and my family. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to share it with others and walk alongside them in their journey to health as well.
