Seeking Food and Nutritional Support and Education?
Ever since I can remember, I have loved baking, cooking, and growing my produce. Creating delicious recipes for people has always been one of my love languages. I am honored to use this passion to help you on your health journey, no matter where you are!
After years of suffering from many health issues, I found Functional Medicine. It is here that I learned that many of my health issues were related to the foods I was eating or not eating. Functional Medicine taught me that every person's body is unique. Therefore, I went through a variety of diets to see what would help heal my body. These included the elimination, anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, AIP, SCD, paleo, whole 30, keto, and carnivore diets. This transition from diet to diet was not easy, and yes, there were many tears! The hardest part was relearning how to cook using a completely different set of ingredients. It has been eight years of learning, and I am excited to share my experiences to help you on your health journey.
I would love to show you that you do not have to endure a tasteless palette to be healthy. Have you struggled with flopped, flavorless recipes? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone. I am here for you by sharing my experiences, my creations, and my love!
