🌿 Reintroducing Myself🌿
Hi, I’m Kristen -a Certified Holistic Health Coach dedicated to helping you feel vibrant, resilient, and truly well.
Since 2015, I’ve navigated the challenges of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a painful and often misunderstood condition. Through nearly a decade of trial, error, and self-discovery, I’ve learned to put my HS into remission by addressing the root causes and nurturing my body’s innate healing abilities.
Genetic and functional testing was a breakthrough for me. I discovered key markers linked to:
- Sulfur sensitivity (rs705703, rs234706)
- Histamine intolerance (rs2070586)
- Leaky gut, detox imbalances, and bacterial overgrowth
This insight helped me understand how certain foods, supplements, and routines affected me. By identifying the supplements my body needed, I was able to calm symptoms, repair tissue, and restore balance.
Now, I’m entering a new phase of healing: focusing on body composition—with my genes as the guide. These markers are helping me understand how my body handles food, detox, stress, and fat storage on a deeper level.
For example, my BDNF gene shows I may have reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which affects motivation, mood, and metabolism—so I’m incorporating specific types of exercise like interval training and outdoor movement that are known to help increase BDNF naturally.
I’m also supporting this gene nutritionally with foods that promote BDNF expression—like wild blueberries, omega-3-rich salmon, turmeric, green tea, and dark leafy greens. These choices aren’t random—they’re mapped to my genetic blueprint and my body’s unique needs.
Every adjustment I make is a strategic step toward building a body that’s no longer stuck in survival mode. I may not be where I want to be yet—but I’m gaining more energy, strength, and clarity as I move in the right direction. This isn’t about chasing perfection; it’s about aligning my lifestyle with how my body was designed to function at its best.
To support others, I’m currently crafting flexible online coaching programs designed to fit your schedule, needs, and bio-individuality. Because wellness shouldn’t be a luxury—everyone deserves to thrive. Whether you’re navigating a chronic condition or just want to feel more at home in your body, I’m here to walk alongside you.
