About the Burnout Guru

I started off my career in Finance, because that's what everyone in the NY metropolitan did after college. I could never ignore this urge to follow my passion for health and fitness though, so after having my first child I decided to get my personal training certification with the NSCA. However, there came the realization that nutrition is just as important, if not more important, than exercize to one's health and wellness.

After years of trying to do it all and be it all, the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect trainer in perfect shape, eating the so called "perfect diet", I happened upon a nutrition course that called out my name ! Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is about getting to the root cause of your health issues, not the simple band-aid approach of covering up symptoms that reappear later in different and sometimes worse ways.

After suffering for years with low energy and vitality, struggling through my workouts and my daily activities with 3 young kids, I came to find out that in trying to do it all I had blown out her Adrenal Glands, and was suffering from a term for adrenal exhaustion - called "Adrenal Fatigue". Quite literally I was BURNT OUT! My FDN coursework helped me figure that out, and heal. How ? Through lab testing of hormones and digestion, interpreting those results and implementing a protocol of DRESS: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, and Supplementation. I now have the privilege of doing this with my clients. I've been there, and I can help !
