Being a nurse in Critical Care for more than 20 years, I have seen the impacts of traditional medicine. The more people decline in their health, the more symptoms arise, more medication is given. This is where you see the vicious cycle start over. I opened a functional nutrition Wellness Center, where I helped hundreds of people get off of their medications and get in shape. I did 1:1 nutrition coaching, held fitness challenges and exercise classes. I was astounded by the impact of simple nutritional tweaks and habits made in the health of my clients. Practicing functional nutrition is the future of healthcare. It truly gets to the root cause of your issues and allows you to regain your own health without just placing a "bandaid" over it. I started Wholesome and Beyond as a place to empower women to be take control of their health while being more confident, lose weight, gain energy and celebrate feeling strong and sexy.
