You get sick for two main reasons: toxicities and deficiencies. I believe everyone can heal as long as we can find the root of your illness. And it all starts with asking “why.”

Doctors aren’t asking the right questions. Instead, they’re handing out prescriptions that only mask symptoms, leaving your quality of life compromised. Functional medicine doesn’t believe the body makes mistakes; instead, I look at root causes that create symptoms. My goal is to heal your gut, rebuild your microbiome, and restore true freedom in your life through Gut 911. 

The Gut 911 approach goes beyond putting a “Band-Aid" on symptoms with medication, helping you find the root causes and contributing factors to actually reverse disease processes.

Because of the incredible success I’ve had reversing gut diseases like Crohn’s and Colitis (and other digestive issues that most doctors say can’t be helped), I’ve partnered with medical clinics across the country to help their patients get better, too.

That led me to becoming a medical lecturer for the Priority Health Academy, where we teach doctors to do what we do!

What does it mean to reverse IBD?

I use the term “reverse” because IBD is generally linear and predictable because it progresses in a very typical way. For example, symptoms often start mild and progressively worsen over the years.

By “reversing” IBD, we can actually reverse that timeline to restore quality of life - so much so that our clients even forget they ever had it!

Functional Health Coaching is about helping you find a personalized balance for your body, mind, and emotional well-being using an integrated and comprehensive approach. The pillars of “functional medicine” address care for the whole human being and see the body as an entire network, not just separate organs or body parts that need treatment.

After struggling with health issues from a young age, I was eventually diagnosed with an extremely severe case of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pre-diabetic status. Add in some struggles with substance abuse by this point, and I guess you could say I was hitting rock bottom. The good thing about hitting rock bottom is there is only one way left to go, and that’s up! This was the pivotal moment in my life when I became infatuated with functional health and began my journey…
