Read here about my story and get a sneak peak of my health journey!
Hey everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I wanted to start by sharing a bit about myself and what brought me here. Fresh out of the University of Miami in May 2024, with a Health Studies degree and Biology, Psychology, and Public Health minors, I jumped right into the world of medical assisting. And, because I clearly love learning, I’m gearing up for a Masters in Biomedical Sciences, with medical school firmly in my sights.
My ultimate goal? To practice hands-on, holistic medicine and demystify healthcare for everyone.
My own health journey took a sharp turn last fall 2024. Battling chronic fatigue that made my daily commute a serious struggle, I knew something wasn’t right. Thankfully, I found a practitioner who looked beyond the surface, and it turns out, my gut feeling was spot on. Extensive lab work revealed vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, and the presence of thyroid antibodies – Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Needless to say, life got a whole lot more interesting.
This blog is my way of paying it forward, sharing what I’m learning, especially about navigating Hashimoto’s. The online autoimmune community has been a lifeline for me; reading honest, relatable stories has been incredibly empowering.
I’m excited to share my own experiences, along with the recipes, health hacks, and nerdy health facts I discover along the way. Stick around, and let’s learn together!
