Here's a little bit about me. Over 20 years ago I was competing in fitness and figure competitions and doing fitness modeling where I always had to keep my body in fantastic shape (not easy on my 5’2 frame). During one contest prep I ended up gaining over 20 pounds and felt like absolute garbage. Six different doctors misdiagnosed me (YES 6!) and told me I was “normal”. The 7th doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and then stuck me on Synthroid which did absolutely nothing for my symptoms. After researching a bit on my own I knew I would be stuck in the “Synthroid box” as I call it, if I stayed in the conventional medicine system.

So, I did what you should do…I started working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner who is now my mentor. My thyroid was optimized and I got my life back. I then decided to pursue a Master Degree in Clinical Nutrition and become a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Now I’m a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition as well a leading Functional Medicine expert in thyroid conditions, hormonal dysfunction and weight issues. It takes clinical investigation to get to the underlying factors of chronic disease. You can’t band-aid your symptoms and wish them to go away. It doesn’t work that way. We have to customize your treatment plans in order to fit YOU. In a nutshell…that’s what I do. I fix broken metabolisms and broken people. I give you your life back.

I’m based in Erie Pennsylvania where I was born and raised but my patients span the globe including multiple cities and states in the US as well as the UK and Australia. Yes, telehealth works and allows me to help thousands of patients per year. If you haven’t guessed yet, I love what I do, I love teaching you what I know and I absolutely love seeing the results my patients get when they finally feel like their old selves again.
