A Bit About Me
Ten years ago, as a patient myself, is where my purpose in rehabbing gut microbiomes was born. I was 27 years old navigating through sudden disability with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, while in an Optometry Program. I traced back my symptoms to a time in my life where I had been on a lot of antibiotics and from there, I knew that dysbiosis in my gut microbiome had set me up for a life of continued autoimmunity, inflammation, and loss. I have spent the last 10 years fiercely focused on formally and informally educating myself in the biochemistry of the intestinal epithelium and understanding the incredibly diverse ecosystem that is often forgot as a pillar of our health and wellness.
Here at Brain and Body Rehabilitation, I offer one on one time to discuss what may be going on with your Microbiota. Further, in a world where we don’t have to guess and throw products to see what sticks, we can do Whole Genome Sequencing of the gut and/or Vaginal microbiome. This method of characterization is the most advanced methodology we have in this day in age to be able to understand not only “who” is there but “how” are they behaving. I interpret the 19 pages of bio informative data and relay to you a story of what is going on in your, unique microbiome. From there, you are equipped with the knowledge to support, rehab, and maintain equilibrium in the community of trillions and trillions of microorganisms. I offer a no cost 15 min consultation if you have any questions. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
