Why root-cause nutrition changed everything and how it can for you too
My twenties. Cystic acne, constant exhaustion, faking smiles, and struggling to make it through any social event.
If you’re in your twenties or thirties, there’s this unspoken expectation that you’re supposed to feel amazing.
Full of energy. Glowing skin. Clear mind.
Living life. Thriving.
But what if instead…
You’re waking up exhausted.
Reaching for caffeine and carbs just to function.
Battling breakouts, bloating, and mood swings that seem to come out of nowhere.
Feeling like your body is working against you no matter how hard you try to "be healthy."
That was me.
I was 21 and felt like a shell of myself.
Tired all the time. Snapping at the people I loved. Constantly uncomfortable in my skin both physically and emotionally.
I spent years chasing answers, trying everything I could think of:
Whole30
Vegan
Low carb
Elimination diets
Intense workouts (even though they left me feeling more depleted than strong)
And yet, I still felt awful.
Nothing worked.
And I didn’t know why.
I Know the Frustration of Trying Everything and Getting Nowhere
It’s maddening when you’re trying so hard and your body just won’t cooperate.
When every bite of food feels like a gamble.
When you're constantly Googling symptoms, looking for the next diet, supplement, or workout that might be "the answer."
When it feels like everyone else is out there living their lives and you’re stuck trying to figure out what’s wrong with yours.
My story got worse when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.
It gave me a name, but still no real solution.
I was still tired.
Still bloated.
Still stuck.
Then I Stopped Guessing and Everything Changed
Out of sheer desperation (and a flicker of hope), I spent thousands of dollars to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
I didn’t do it to start a business. I did it to save myself.
And for the first time… I started learning how my body actually works.
That sugar cravings and midday crashes weren’t about willpower. They were signs of blood sugar dysregulation.
That my acne and mood swings were rooted in hormone imbalances.
That the chest pain, constipation, and bloating were symptoms of gut dysfunction and yeast overgrowth.
That my exhaustion was tied to deep mineral and vitamin depletion from years of stress, over-exercising, and restriction.
And the biggest shift?
I stopped treating symptoms. I started supporting the root cause.
I Got My Life Back
Once I gave my body what it needed, things changed fast.
✅ My energy returned (without caffeine)
✅ My skin cleared
✅ My digestion calmed down
✅ My mood leveled out
✅ And for the first time in years, I could eat without second-guessing every bite
It was like I could finally breathe again.
I wasn’t “broken.” I just needed a different approach. One that looked at the full picture and addressed the actual problems in my body.
And as I began helping people around me experience the same shift… I realized this wasn’t just my story.
It was their story too.
It might be your story right now.
This Is Why I Do What I Do
Alongside my own health challenges, I spent years working in the healthcare system. I saw how many people never got the real answers they needed.
They were given pills, diets, and band-aids, but not actual support.
No one was asking why systems were breaking down that created the symptoms patients were feeling.
I pretty quickly got fed up and decided I want to be on the real side of healing instead.
That’s when I created Nourish Freely because true healing happens when we stop guessing and start addressing the root.
