Life's Healthiest LLC and The Beet Lady 


My interest in holistic health began at the age of 40 when peri-menopause and all of its unpleasant symptoms hit me all at once. The symptoms I was experiencing were exacerbated by undiagnosed hypothyroidism, a condition I suspected I'd had for a long time, but remained undiagnosed for many years.
A mainstream GYN I saw to help me navigate through my perimenopausal symptoms recommended a prescription anti-depressant medication for menopausal symptoms which she said would get me through the next 10 years!  Instinctively, I knew this was not the answer to menopausal hormone imbalance. I threw the prescription away, fired my doctor and started my educational journey into Holistic Health and Wellness.
I read books and medical journals, watched lectures and interviews on women's health and hormone imbalance and I learned how to heal my body and how to get my body back into balance nutritionally and hormonally.  I was astonished to learn that women with undiagnosed, untreated or under treated thyroid dysfunction have a more challenging time during all phases of menopause and that those symptoms are magnified when thyroid function is not optimal. 
 *The phases of menopause are also a time of life when many women can become hypothyroid.
As I was dealing with my own hormone challenges, my 12 year old son got sick.  There were countless doctors and tests that followed over a period of years, but none of these doctors could help me recover his health.  It was several years before a diagnosis was identified.  We were told he had Lyme Disease, later it was Mold Illness, both of which caused Hypothyroidism and food and chemical/environmental sensitivities. 
As I continued my education in holistic health and nutrition, I decided to widen my field of study in an effort to help my son on my own.
I enrolled in several schools over the next five years and earned 4 certifications in Holistic Health, Holistic Wellness, Holistic Nutrition and Health Coaching.  I continued my education with specialties in Holistic Nutrition, Lyme Disease and Mold Illness, earning certifications in these concentrations.  
As a Holistic Health Practitioner, I work with clients all over the world to help them restore and rebuild their health.

The Beet Lady
 
My son, Cullen, developed food sensitivities to many of the foods he had eaten for years.  I adapted some of my recipe's to align with his health and created other healthful alternative recipes for new foods he could enjoy.  The first new creation was Beet Ketchup, because tomatoes were no longer an option for him.  It was an instant hit!  Beet Ketchup became a staple and is used as a ketchup, dipping sauce, marinade and topping. The ingredients are all whole organic foods.  No powder spices, no fillers, just good whole food, which makes it much healthier than store bought tomato ketchup. 
As I perfected my recipe, Beet Ketchup evolved into The Beet Lady brand and now includes Beet Food Therapy Powder Blends.
********************************
After completing my first two certifications, I started Life's Healthiest LLC, which is my Holistic Health business.  I work with clients both domestically and all over the world to help them improve their health through diet, lifestyle changes, improved nutrition and clean supplements with an emphasis on food therapy.  I also created Life's Healthiest Whole Food Therapy blends which detoxify the body, support healing and get the body back into balance with food.
