Confession, I have not lived what I would currently call a very healthy life but in part because I don’t think I understood what it really meant to be healthy. I was a child of the 80’s and 90’s when diets were at an all time high. Every day it seemed we would hear something new about health and the government standard was literally killing its citizens. 

I grew up in a farming and ranching community and my father worked for one of the largest feedlots in the world. It was normal, and healthy per government standard, to eat meat and potatoes with a side of green beans covered in butter with a large glass of milk. 

When I went to college and started working out regularly but as I got older I continued to gain weight, I was an avid bike rider, went to the gym at least 3 days a week and yet kept gaining weight. So I studied to be a personal trainer and still wasn’t losing that much. One day it dawned on me I knew nothing about health or what a protein even was and why I needed it so I decided to look into health and nutrition. And I found my calling.

I soon became immersed in learning about health and along the way decided to become a certified nutritionist because it was all I wanted to talk about. I looked into getting a second degree in nutrition and becoming a dietitian but I don’t like the idea of following the government standard as they haven’t really had our best interest at heart, they have the pockets of corporate greed at heart. So the best fit for me was holistic nutrition.

To this day I still argue with my mom about drinking milk and eating meat, she who has breast cancer and my dad who has had 4 heart attacks but they swear their diet is good for them and it’s genetics. When we are told, for decades, lies and then confronted with the truth, it’s easier to just continue believing the lies. It’s the shadow on the cave wall. 

It is my goal to help people find the truth in the light and live their most beautiful and healthy life. Let nature be the gold within you…
