A Little Self-Care Goes A Long Way
Through my own experience with fad dieting, I struggled throughout my teenage years until finally realizing I was ultimately in charge of my health. I decided to study nutritional science in university, followed by holistic nutrition & herbal medicine. By learning about what we consume and how nutrients are metabolized in the body to promote optimal health fascinated me. This is where my journey and relationship with nutrition for preventative health and natural beauty began. I continue to be actively involved in clinical research, education & practice; with board certification and active standing as a Registered Master Herbalist and Functional Nutritionist.
Nutraceuticals are health products derived from natural sources, including foods and botanicals, which possess rejuvenating and harmonizing properties within the body. Emphasizing preventive health, these products are specifically designed to bolster various physiological systems, ranging from the immune, digestive, cardiovascular, joint and bone health, to weight and stress management. One increasingly popular subset of supplements aimed at promoting healthy aging and natural beauty is known as Nutricosmetics. These natural health products typically contain ingredients that support radiant skin, lustrous hair, and strong nails while shielding the body from stressors that expedite the aging process. As an expert in nutrition, herbal medicine, and formulation, I feel privileged to be involved in this dynamic category and collaborate with leading biotechnology, nutraceutical, and beauty companies worldwide.
I built this site to help pull the “fact” from “fiction” so you can make the best informed choices for your own personal wellness journey.
I hope you enjoy it.
