GUEST BIOGRAPHY:
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life, from cancer to autoimmune issues and cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30s. Beyond my health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc, who lost his battle with cancer in his mid-40s. I decided to take my health into my own hands and became an Integrative Holistic Nutritionist. Fast forward several years, and I have helped thousands of clients manage their health issues and created my own delivered EG Kitchen Cleanse in Los Angeles.
