Like so many women, I began suffering from a whole slew of unwanted symptoms in my early 40s.

Severe brain fog, forgetfulness, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain, fatigue, panic attacks—the list goes on. I struggled for years trying to figure out what was “wrong” with me, and as a medical provider myself, I felt like I should have the answers. I went to my doctors to have testing and blood work done, only to find out that my labs were “normal” and was advised to exercise and cut calories, even though I was already surviving on coffee, protein bars, and salads alone. I was miserable and spent years seeking answers as my mental health, career, and family life suffered.

Everything shifted when I found a functional medicine mentor who dug deeper and diagnosed me with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Relieved to finally have answers, I overhauled my lifestyle completely and added hormone replacement therapy. Within 18 months, I lost 50 pounds, lowered inflammatory markers, and regained my vitality.

As a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 27 years of experience in healthcare coupled with my journey with debilitating perimenopause symptoms, weight gain, infertility, cancer, and a Hashimoto's thyroiditis diagnosis, I have been on both sides of healthcare. I relate to the frustration of endless symptom searches and feeling dismissed by medical professionals. Using lifestyle modifications and a root-cause functional medicine approach, I am happy to say I now live symptom-free!
