During my nutrition education, I have learned how to combine nutrition, lifestyle changes, and mindset in order to help each person as whole, instead of just looking at them as a set of symptoms.

I studied how food, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can be used therapeutically to enhance health, and improve immunity.

I also learned about detoxification, micro and macro nutrients, nutrition for various health conditions and life stages, psychological methods to deal with emotional eating, mindfulness techniques, stress and its effects on our health, body image and self-care techniques.

Continuing education is especially important to me, since there is always emerging science surrounding nutrition and its impact on the human body.

I enjoy reading on various topics in nutrition, and I am especially interested in how digestion and the microbiome impact autoimmune disease.
