Hi, I'm Olivia!
I’m a firm believer in long walks, enjoying the sunset, reading “just one more chapter,” and always saving room for dessert.
My Story
I didn’t grow up with a strong understanding of what balanced, nourishing eating looked like. I enjoyed a wide variety of foods and was always open to trying something new, but my everyday staples were often:
-
Sugary cereal
-
Granola bars
-
Boxed macaroni
-
Frozen meals
I didn’t yet understand how much the foods I ate could influence how I felt.
My own journey with a nutritionist began in high school, when I started experiencing chronic health challenges:
-
Persistent fatigue that made it hard to get out of bed
-
Brain fog so bad I could read the same page over and over and not remember any of it
-
Ongoing digestive discomfort- bloating that never seemed to end
I worked with a functional practitioner and nutritionist, which introduced me to a different way of thinking about health and nutrition.
As I learned more, I became fascinated by the connection between food, lifestyle, and how we feel day to day. Meal planning and adapting recipes to support my own needs, and those of my family, made me realize that nutrition wasn't just something I was interested in. It was my passion.
My path wasn't always straightforward. My own struggles with severe acne, histamine intolerance, and gut dysbiosis taught me firsthand that healing isn’t linear.
Those experiences shaped the way I approach nutrition today:
-
look at the whole picture
-
use evidence to guide decisions
-
make changes that are realistic enough to maintain.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition from Colorado State University and my Master’s degree in Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. I am currently an intern at The Nutrition and Herbal Collective and a candidate for the Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential.
I combine my education, personal experience, and evidence-based nutrition strategies to help women make practical changes that support their health without losing sight of real life.
