Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here at Food Farmacy Nutrition LLC, I’m delighted that you’re here and I'm excited to work together to help you live your healthiest life.   My healthcare career began 28 years ago when I became a RN and started working for one of the largest hospital systems in Colorado.  I had such a passion to help patients and their families during their health issues.   I worked in many areas of the hospital including bedside care, pre/post operative care, and as charge nurse and nurse educator, but my biggest role has always been as a patient advocate-focusing on your best health outcomes. It was during this time that I learned how increasingly dysfunctional our health care really is.  Every year I watched people get sicker and sicker.  I saw the dismal results of “treat the symptoms” protocols of Western Medicine.  I realized so many patients I talked to had little or no understanding of what prescription medications they were taking or why.  While there are some valuable and important prescription medications, doctors are often too busy and confined to insurance requirements to have time to really listen to their patients and simply write prescriptions instead of finding the root cause.   I believe this “band-aid” approach to healthcare is making our population sicker and creating a rise in chronic disease. There are no band-aid approaches here!  I will partner with you to be your best health advocate.

 My greatest disappointment came when I talked to a 39-year-old patient who was on over 20 different prescription meds and having surgery after surgery as a “treatment.”  My heart was broken and that’s when I knew, I had to find a way to help clients who truly want to live their healthiest life.  I completed my advanced education from Nutrition Therapy Institute to become a Master Nutrition Therapist and went on to become Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition (BCHN).  I am a certified Level One Restorative Wellness practioner and have completed over 600 internship hours with a Functional Medicine Doctor.  

 I’m committed to using my 28 years of nursing combined with my advanced holistic nutritional education to partner with you to research, explore, and discuss healthy alternatives to determine the root causes of your health issues.  Believe me, there’s nothing more frustrating than struggling with chronic health issues and not finding answers.  I too have struggled for more than 18 years with health issues like IBS, SIBO, food sensitives, dysbiosis, mold toxicity, and candida that were completely ignored by traditional medical doctors.  With God’s guidance and my determination to find answers, I feel better today than I did in my 20’s, but it’s been a journey.  I’m here to help you with your journey.  Contact me today to get started with better health and wellness.
