Adrenaline junkie from birth
Dieting became my gateway drug to binging with a toxic ripple effect that tormented me for decades. Diet after diet eventually led me down the extreme wellness rabbit hole as a desperate way to balance my belly issues, food habits, and manipulate my metabolism.
I struggled and suffered with striking a balanced and flexible approach towards sustainable food habits and body trust.
In full disclosure, I was in a series of on/off diet for over two decades before doing a deep dive into mindful + intentional eating. Thankfully, I have finally found food + body peace.
The mindful path requires pure trust and surrender to the process, but in the end it was the only way to break out of a multi-decade of diet prison and my disordered behaviors.
My passion is to help you divorce yourself from diets, repair your relationship with food, and reconnect to what I've coined as your Intelligent Belly Wisdom™ {IBW} so that you can crack your Unique Food Code™ (another term I've created!).
This personal blueprint guides you to nourish your body based on your innate wisdom and lifestyle needs. By tuning into your body and tuning out all the diet noise, you allow the body to guide you with what feels good and can hear it say "more of this, less of that."
Don't waste anymore time dieting, your new life is waiting...
My GI issues started at birth, and knowing what I know now, I'd diagnose myself with a dairy intolerance that led to chronic GI issues, sinus infections, and recurring strep throat.
Annual rounds of penicillin flatlined my healthy gut bacteria and lead to insatiable cravings for sweets. One Halloween I had EIGHT cavities and traumatic dental visits.
Even though I grew up in a family with thin privilege, I still got sucked into comparing my boy-shaped body to the sexy models in Cosmopolitan magazine. "If I could only look like them then my life would be perfect", was the lie I fed myself.
My kismet food journey kickstarted at 16, living with family on diets made me question my choices. I recognized, "wow fruit for breakfast gives me energy and feels GOOD in my body instead of pastries."
While this newfound inner awareness and body connection was intriguing, I was seduced by the diet promise to solve my body dysmorphia. Innocently flirting with restrictive eating led to binging behaviors (hello brownies!). I never recognized they were intimately linked until researching the biology of binging.
