Functional First Wellness
Healing Starts at the Root.
Together, we’re redefining health, one step at a time.
In functional health, symptoms aren’t the problem — they’re the body’s way of pointing us toward the problem.
At Functional First, I am dedicated to redefining health and wellness by addressing the root causes of imbalance, not just the symptoms. I understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent symptoms can feel, and my mission is to provide personalized care that restores function, promotes resilience, and nurtures lasting vitality. With compassion, integrity, and educated decision making I guide each person through their journey to healing, helping them move beyond symptoms to reclaim energy, balance, and confidence in their health.
For years, I struggled with constipation and acne.
Once I searched for the root cause and focused my digestion and post birth control health I finally was acne free and having daily bowel movements.
I see so many people struggle with the same chronic symptoms I used to, gut issues, hormone imbalances, inflammation—without ever getting real answers.
They were given quick fixes, restrictive diets, or surface-level solutions that never addressed the true root cause of their health concerns.
I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why I created The Functional Fix—a science-backed, faith-centered program designed to help you get to the root cause of your health challenges and restore balance from the inside out.
This isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about healing, building resilience, and creating a lifestyle that supports long-term vitality.

BodyBuilding
I work directly with bodybuilders and their coaches to restore digestive health so their prep, performance, and recovery actually work. Gut issues like bloating, inflammation, or nutrient malabsorption can silently stall fat loss, hinder muscle growth, and make even the most dialed-in training and nutrition feel ineffective.
Through a combination of personalized nutrition strategies, gut-supporting protocols, and close collaboration with coaches, I help athletes:
-
Reduce gut inflammation and bloating
-
Improve nutrient absorption for muscle repair and energy
-
Optimize hormone and metabolic function for stage-ready conditioning
-
Support recovery from high-intensity training and deficit periods
