Over five years ago, my mom was diagnosed with something called Lewy Body Dementia. It’s basically a combination of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (and all of the things that go along with those diseases) in one. When she got this diagnosis, I was devastated and all I wanted was to save her.
At that point I had been struggling with my weight and was on my own health and weight loss journey since the very young age of 10 years old. And like my mom, I was not taking care of myself. I was putting everybody else except myself on my priority list, and I was pretending that everything was ok when it was not.
My discovery enabled me to extend my mom’s life and lose the weight I was carrying around for years.
My passion is to educate and empower people to prioritize their health so that they can feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies. This is close to my heart because, even though my mom passed, her legacy lives on: every single person that I help is a part of my mom that I keep alive.
