Food (and health) Philosophy
People kept asking how I eat, what I prioritize, and why. So here it is.
I’m a nutritionist, microbiologist, and mindfulness coach who believes deeply in the body’s ability to heal, and in the data that helps us get there faster. With a background in microbiology, a master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, and years working on the admin side of conventional healthcare, I’ve learned one powerful truth: healthy lifestyle matters.
Gut health impacts everything—your hormones, mood, energy, and how you show up in the world. But healing isn’t just about food. It’s about listening to your body, managing stress, finding joy, and building habits that work in your real life. I help people figure out what their unique body needs, and how to nourish it with real food that tastes amazing and fits their lifestyle.
What I Believe:
The body communicates. Symptoms are messages, not nuisances.
The gut is central. It’s the root of so many chronic issues.
Food should heal and delight. Taste matters. Rituals matter.
We need both science and soul. I blend evidence-based nutrition with ancient healing wisdom, and I’ve seen both change lives.
I’m not into fads or extremes. We can always learn and adapt as new information and research becomes available. I believe in digging into the root cause, supporting your body with nourishing food, and building a sustainable way of eating and living that fuels your best self.
My Food Philosophy
Real food first. Avoid ultra-processed ingredients, added sugars, and fake flavors.
Gluten-free, dairy-light. I avoid gluten and stick to high-quality ghee, butter, or cheese. This is specific to my health needs (including celiac and casein sensitivity) and not recommended or required for everyone.
Clean meats. Grass-fed, pasture-raised, humanely sourced.
Quality fats. Bring on the olive oil, avocado, coconut. Ditch the hydrogenated and heat-processed junk.
Natural sweets. Maple syrup, honey, fruit > fake sugars and chemical substitutes.
Ultimately, I believe healing happens when we reconnect to ourselves—and to the food that truly nourishes us.
