Hi, I'm Karla!
I’m thrilled to have you join me!
A bit about my story...
Twenty years ago, my humdrum life in corporate America was suddenly interrupted by weird symptoms no doctor (at the time) could explain.
Brain fog, dizziness, panic attacks, and big-time anxiety. 😵💫 I was sick and scared but repeatedly told by doctors there was nothing wrong.
- “It’s just stress.”
- “Here’s a ‘script for Prozac.” 💊
- “It’s all in your head.” 🫠
Gee, thanks, Dr. Einstein. Isn’t dizziness usually in your head? 🫨
And I’m already feeling weird. Why would I take Prozac? 💊 Ack! 🤕
So, I adopted one of my favorite mantras: 🔥
IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME.
I ditched the ‘script 💊 (figuratively and literally), jumped into serious research mode, and set out armed with nothing more than sheer determination.
I read everything I could get my hands on, joined any forum I thought might help, and lost countless nights of sleep over scary internet diagnoses (nope, not cholera). 🙅🏻♀️
It took months of angst-filled digging.
But long story short, one day, I finally figured it out!
It was food sensitivities, specifically gluten, dairy, and soy proteins.
Remember, twenty years ago, doctors only knew gluten caused intestinal trouble, not brain symptoms. Gluten wasn’t a household word yet, and back then, the first few people I mentioned it to thought I was speaking German.
☀️ But knowing how to restore my health wasn't the best part ☀️
Because, you see, my victory wasn’t the end of my journey—it was the start of something way bigger. My passion for health and wellness took over and catapulted me out of that corporate hamster wheel I’d been running in for years. 🐹✨
I kept studying, learning, and growing new insights about what makes humans tick and what keeps our miraculous gears going.
Fast forward to today
