Women’s Health 101

Are you seeking answers for hormone balance, thyroid support, gut health, ways to decrease your stress, menopause, or weight loss? Look no further! Along my own journey which started as a teen, I struggled with all of the above and more. Twenty plus years later, after experimenting, hundreds of doctor visits, learning, testing, and even many surgical procedures, I stand my strongest and healthiest! When supporting women’s health and hormones, there are several areas that one requires focusing on- such as, stress management, mental health, sleep, nutrition, exercise, environment, relationship building, and more.

Hypertension and Diabetes

According to the American Heart Association:

Nearly half of all U.S. adults have some type of cardiovascular disease, a percentage that reflects recently updated guidelines for treating high blood pressure, according to a new report. High blood pressure – also known as hypertension – can lead to heart attack, heart failure and stroke. This year's report said 121.5 million adults in the U.S. – 48 percent based on 2016 figures – have cardiovascular disease. Heart disease was the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S. and stroke was No. 5, the same ranking as in the previous year.

Key findings from the National Diabetes Statistics Report and the CDC The report finds that:

  • In 2015, an estimated 1.5 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed among people ages 18 and older.
  • Nearly 1 in 4 four adults living with diabetes – 7.2 million Americans – didn’t know they had the condition. Only 11.6 percent of adults with prediabetes knew they had it.
  • Rates of diagnosed diabetes increased with age. Among adults ages 18-44, 4 percent had diabetes. Among those ages 45-64 years, 17 percent had diabetes. And among those ages 65 years and older, 25 percent had diabetes.

Functional Living with Chronic Pain

Are you tired of experiencing a debilitating and invisible disease holding you back from living a functional life with ease? As a person being diagnosed with chronic pain at a young age of 21 and later with fibromyalgia at 27, I know all too well the destructive thought forms and severe pain that can cripple you!

I embody the meaning behind the “rising phoenix.” To rise from deep despair, darkness, and ash like a phoenix...I emerge from catastrophe wiser, stronger, and more powerful. I have hit my rock bottom, being close to bed-ridden, and now I live my functional life with ease. This is not to say that I never experience painful flare-ups, however, I can now say that I am now thriving and not just surviving!

Allow me to equip you with the tools, facilitate change, & create healing together!
