In Her Era

I Was 21, 38kg, and Told I Wouldn't Have Kids: Rock Bottom To Functional Health Expert


Listen Later

Welcome to the first full episode of In Her Era…

In this powerful and personal episode, I open up about the health crisis that changed the entire trajectory of my life and my work.

At just 21, I hit complete rock bottom: cystic acne, rapid weight loss, relentless gut issues, and was told I might never have children. For the first time, I’m telling the full story, the one I’ve never fully shared until now…


In this episode we cover:

  • The subtle red flags I ignored and how I stayed “high-functioning” even as my health unravelled behind the scenes
  • The heartbreak of rapid weight loss, early menopause, and being told I had the hormone levels of a 50 year old with no real answers from doctors
  • The wild (and sometimes desperate) things I tried just to feel like me again and the turning point that led me to functional medicine
  • Why the gut was the missing link all along and how this journey became the foundation of everything I now teach


I want you to know this: you’re not broken, and you’re not alone…

My journey is proof that healing is possible, but it starts with asking why instead of just treating what.

This podcast isn’t just about my story. It’s about ours, the collective experience of women whose health, energy, and self-worth have been overlooked for far too long.

This is just the beginning. I’m so glad you’re here.
