Petra De Ryck - Functional Medicine Practitioner

Because I had two defining moments in my life…
-The first one when I gave up a successful international career in the corporate world to pursue my passion: cooking,…and got my Culinary Chef’s degree at Kendall College in Chicago.

-The second one when I survived a brain aneurism 7 years ago. Realizing that I could not continue to count on that amazing guardian angel, this served as a strong wake up call… It made me realize the hard way that I probably should have paid more attention to my unhealthy lifestyle and the resulting blood pressure issues that I had been struggling with for years. I had the undeniable urge to get to the bottom of my own health issues because I also started struggling with hormonal migraine. But this journey has inspired me to dive deeper into hormones and become an expert in hormone related health issues. What I have discovered on this journey is that there is not always a magic solution that will immediately reverse hormonal imbalance. Instead, you can create an environment that is conducive to the hormones being produced, metabolized and removed from your body in such a way that you enter that balance. My goal as a coach is to make you an educated consumer and inspire you to take responsibility for your own health and give you tools to experience amazing health and energy.
