In this episode, I am sharing my career's journey from traditional dietetics to specializing in women's health, as well as how my own health challenges sparked a passion for holistic approaches. I discuss how I am choosing to balance life as an entrepreneur, mother, and my social media presence, along with my favorite lab tests and my favorite resources for continuous learning.
What we cover:
- Where my career education started in traditional nutrition and dietetics
- Additional functional trainings I did to grow my knowledge about women's health
- My introduction to HTMA testing due to my own symptoms after stopping the pill
- How I started my business and finding my balance in entrepreneurship as a mom of 2
- The importance of continuing education and books for professional growth and success
- How I am choosing to focus on serving, not comparing, on social media
