Breast cancer survivor turned Holistic Nutritionist + Certified Life Coach helping you transform!
My area of focus begins with addressing inflammatory triggers: blood sugar + hormonal imbalances by helping the detoxification (liver), + digestion (gut flora, leaky gut, malabsorption, elimination). I work with clients who are on the spectrum of immunity dysfunction specifically with autoimmune disorders (hyper-immune) & breast cancer (low immune).
Thank you again The CIO Today for sharing my story in the hopes that it can inspire even that ONE person - just enough - to push through their fear in order to take action towards achieving their goals for their life. If I can do it, you can too!

HI FRIENDS!
Do you invest in nontoxic πΏ products too? I recently had some skin rashes pop up starting in October from some of my mainstay brands - super uncomfortable itchiness, redness !!!
even though Iβve used these same brands since 2015 post cancer diagnosis because theyβre clean- something must have changed in the formula as my skin started to have rashes!! β¦. So nontoxic - fragrance free from doTERRA caught my attention and I had to try them out.
These are just a few of my favorite things from doTERRAπΈ. (I also grabbed some MetaPower collagen which is incredible - and tastes great too because, why not?π)
ππ»Whenever I can reduce the toxic load on my liver I help suppprt detox function, lower overall inflammation and improve my immune system response!! Win win!π
Comment below if you use doTERRA products too with a βYESβ!

Friends,
Eating healthy foods is a wonderful start to any wellness plan. However, it's also important to recognize the chemicals used to grow or produce our foods and the damage to our DNA and other organs and systems. Information and awareness is power!π±
The Detox Project on Tuesday released a detailed report showing the true levels of weedkiller contamination in essential foods sold by some of the top grocery stores in the country.

Finding beverages that support your anti-inflammatory lifestyle can be tough beyond water and green juice, am I right?π
These teas are just a few to consider as they also deliver nutrients that support your digestion and lower inflammation!
Enjoy!π±

So....let's just say it out loud.
It's long overdue as I know a lot of you are starting to think and SEE the same thing:
Anytime you are relentlessly
bribed
pressured
coerced
mandated
threatened to lose job,
access to stores, gyms, restaurants
no school access,
FREEDOMS removed
and
now being characterized as 'not human' or THE REASON people already with said 'j@b' are getting sick again to pit one group against another....(despite antibody dependent enhancement now being described)
ALL FOR A 99.8% SURVIVAL RATE and with available THERAPEUTICS.....
SHOULDN'T THIS WAKE YOU UP BY NOW????
come on HUMANITY - band together in HOPE and Goodness!! SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND YOU AND PLEASE....
WAKE UP AND REBUKE THIS AGENDA.

About Health Coach & Nutritionist, Andrea, with Nutrition Commission
Welcome! My name is Andrea and I thank you for taking this step to explore my services as a Health & Wellness Coach. It is my mission to inspire, educate and motivate you in achieving your health and wellness goals, wherever you are in your journey, through simple and easy modifications you can make in your everyday life. As the saying goes, 'If it were easy then everyone would be doing it'. Life gets in the way and sometimes we just need that coach in our corner to meet us half way and other times we have a goal in mind but donβt know where or how to start. This is where I can help.
I believe that most diseases can be prevented through understanding how Diet, Detox, Mindset & Lifestyle together play a synergistic role in our overall health. With these 4 principles as our foundation we work together to create a sustainable lifestyle that promotes a vibrant, flourishing, and active life throughout even your retirement years.
Why did I become a Certified Health Coach and a Holistic Nutritionist?
Personally, I never considered being a health coach or a nutritionist right away but rather I became passionate about health and wellness out of a health crisis of my own after I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer back in May 2015. It was a wake up call unlike any other and required me to do some soul searching amidst all of the expected feelings of immense stress, worry and being overwhelmed. I didn't want to let this traumatic experience be in vain. I wanted to use this experience to help others overcome their fears, worry and unique challenges with facing an illness in the same way my inner circle did when I reached out for help.
Through it all, I experienced first hand how difficult it really was to change my own routines and behavior and to make healthier choices. For me, it was shocking to see how the power of sugar seemed to win every time despite my efforts to maintain willpower. I knew then that I was in for a real struggle and I couldnβt live with a constant emotional, mental battle each time I needed to eat. I needed to re-learn how to eat, what to eat and why and put my self-care as priority 1. Being a busy mom with a busy career and family obligations I quickly realized even this wouldnβt come easily. I had to fight for it, for ME β and fight I did.
Like most people in the day to day, I had my good days and bad days but overtime with more knowledge and consistency, I managed to change my taste buds to enjoy the healthier foods I was eating which grew my confidence even further. It was through this process of personal healing and overcoming that I became more aware of the importance of proper nutrition, how stress levels deterred my healing, and how I needed to make better overall choices holistically from a Diet, Detoxing, Mindset and Lifestyle standpoint. It was clear, if I'm going to be here for the long-haul for my son and my family I need to make this a sustainable, long-term choice. There is no going back to the old ways. What a blessing these life challenges provide for deeper learning and growth.
My message to you is this: Change is absolutely possible. You CAN conquer that mountain. It is as easy as approaching it one meal at a time. This is your journey! Embrace it. Continue to learn from it and to pursue the life you want to live. If any of this resonates with you, I'd be honored to help you along the way.
Here are just a few of the key benefits of what youβll learn while working with me:
How & why you need to get inflammation under control
How to create new routines that enable greater confidence and consistency
How to make better food choices when grocery shopping & meal planning
How to recognize which ingredients to avoid & why
How & why you must learn to de-stress
How & why you need to make movement a daily priority
How to enable your body to make 'its own medicines'
