As a child, you’d often find me crouched at the edge of a pond searching for newts and frogs, or peering under rocks to uncover hidden bugs and toads. I became captivated by evolution and natural selection, the way every creature, every trait, had a purpose. Nothing was random. Each organism was beautifully adapted to its environment through millions of years of refinement.

I see humans in much the same way. But unlike the slow, steady changes of nature, our environment has shifted at lightning speed. How we eat, sleep, move, and socialise has changed dramatically in just a few generations. Our internal rhythms are ancient, but the world we live in is not.

That disconnect is at the heart of my passion for nutritional therapy. I believe that looking to ancestral principles, nourishing ourselves with real, whole foods, slowing down, and spending more time in nature, can help us bridge that gap and reconnect with our innate ability to thrive.

It was this same philosophy that helped me heal from years of chronic illness. In my twenties, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis. At one point, I couldn’t get in or out of my car without joint pain or eat a meal without horrific abdominal pain. But through diet and lifestyle changes, I gradually rebuilt my strength, my resilience, and my trust in my body. Today, I’m in remission. Symptom-free, medication-free, and passionate about helping others experience the same transformation.
