Hi, I’m Andrea or “Drea” as my friends and family like to call me. I’m a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and a Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist. While I loved working as a product manager in the Tech industry for many years, my passion has always been health and wellness as I’ve struggled with my health for almost two decades. Over the years, I saw multiple specialists and always walked out with a new prescription which offered me temporary relief. I never got any answers about why my health was deteriorating or how to prevent it.

My wake-up call occurred in 2020 when my health fully tanked. The pandemic stress and isolation coupled with moving to a new city alone and starting a very stressful job really took a toll on my health. My chronic digestive issues (bloating, gas, diarrhea, stomach pain, acid reflux, etc.) were the worst they had ever been, and my hormones went haywire. I was experiencing hypothyroid symptoms, weight gain, estrogen dominance, uterine fibroids, PMS, abnormally long and heavy periods, anemia, hair loss, chronic sinus infections, allergies and worst of all, chronic fatigue at a time when I needed energy the most. I looked healthy from the outside, but I was feeling terrible on the inside. I was suffering in silence.

I eventually got fed-up with my situation which ultimately forced me to re-evaluate my life. There had to be another way. I decided to make it my number one priority to heal myself and help heal others. This led me to the functional health space where I was finally able to find and address the root causes of my health issues. I didn’t have to guess anymore. I had answers. Today, I can say I’ve successfully reversed most of my conditions and I’m working with my body to heal the rest. The journey hasn’t always been linear, but I’m grateful for it because it gave me the courage to pivot careers. Now I get to help others on their healing journey and that makes it all worth it!
