I grew up in a household where health and wellness was always a topic of conversation, and I can thank my loving mother for the countless years of nagging to ensure I got my daily recommended servings of vegetables and hours of sleep.  This was never a priority for me as a teen, and many a healthy school lunch was thrown out or traded for a slice of pizza back then… (sorry mom).  Fast forward to adulthood, where I developed and struggled with acne, irregular periods, terrible PMS, digestive issues, anxiety and depression for years.  With no relief from western medicine, I found myself turning to the healing wisdom of nutrition and natural medicine.
