Throughout my life, I have learned that our health is a true reflection of mind, body and spirit. How we feel in our day-to-day lives shows up on our plate and transfers to our overall well-being. Just like our lives and circumstances are ever-changing, so are our bodies. There is no "one size fits all" for health and diet. Balance is key - and finding that balance sometimes requires a little help. I certainly needed help along the way!

 When I was a teenager, my dad was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Along with chemo and radiation, what my dad really needed (and what my family needed, too!) was a knowledgeable and supportive guide to help him implement nutritional and health-conscious changes to go alongside his rigorous treatment to fight the cancer. 

 

After a year long battle with cancer, my dad passed in 2010. To cope with the grief of my dad's passing, I plumpeted into a long and dangerous battle with anorexia. I used my hunger to numb the pain of losing my dad, pushing away the anger and sadness that was constantly sitting inside of me. I was weak, tired, and chronically miserable. 

​

My road to recovery was not easy. It was a long, uphill battle with many stumbles along the way. By facing my grief head-on, I was able to get to the root of my anorexia and replant a positive relationship with food and my body. I now use exercise to celebrate my body and all that it's capable of. I use food to fuel and nourish my body, helping me walk through everyday with energy and gratitude for my health.
