Bio

Carolina works as a Clinical Nutritionist in the Seattle area specializing in metabolic and reproductive health. She graduated from Bastyr University with a Master's Degree in Nutrition in June 2020 after writing a research thesis on the topic of carbohydrate-controlled diets for the management of PCOS.

Health History

Carolina was diagnosed with precocious puberty at three years old, then a diagnosis of PCOS at the age of 13. She was completely anovulatory for 16 years before starting a ketogenic diet in August 2014. By December 2014 Carolina had begun cycling normally.

Not only did all blood and ovarian markers of PCOS reverse on their own, but she became pregnant with twins in 2017 and singleton in 2020 without any reproductive assistance.

Carolina's health recovery prompted her to change careers from the finance industry to nutrition and has since devoted her career to simplifying whole food eating to a Protein & Produce formula.
