Putting My Life Experience to Work for You

Many of the best medical practitioners are those who have experienced health problems themselves. That’s certainly the case with me. In the early 1990s, while working for a major airline, I attended seminars about functional medicine. Little did I know this interest would become a career. I use my training as a certified nutrition specialist to help people, I offer immune counseling, hormone counseling, and genetic consulting services in Tampa, Fl.

Following a trip to Africa, I became very ill and visited many specialists in order to find a cure. However, not only were they unable to diagnose me, they couldn’t treat me even after several antibiotics. Eventually, I was diagnosed as having a parasite. Unfortunately, the antibiotics did little to help, and they were very hard on my system, and no one could resolve the issues. I researched the condition and treated myself for candida, a fungal infection. Today, that experience serves me well as a gastrointestinal nutritionist. During consultations with my patients, I always dig deep into their health issues to determine the right solution for their specific case.

After this experience, I went back to school to earn a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics & Nutrition. Then, I furthered my studies through the Institute of Functional Medicine and was in the inaugural class of 2013.
