For most of my life, I was a high-achieving, Type-A woman who believed discipline and overdoing were the answers to everything—including my health. I restricted. I over-exercised. I pushed harder. I did all the "right" career, community, and wife-mom things. And for a long time, my body adapted.
Until it couldn’t.
When the good Lord led me to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN), I finally saw the truth: my body hadn’t failed me. It had been responding intelligently—exactly as it was designed to—to the inputs it was receiving. My symptoms weren’t random or shocking. They were signals.
Here’s what people are rarely taught: hormones sit upstream of every metabolic condition—constantly responding to how you eat (and drink), sleep, work, live, and love. They influence immune function, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system regulation, weight and body composition, mood, focus, sleep, resilience, and how you experience aging.
That root-cause understanding didn't just change my health—it changed my life's work.Â
It’s also why peptides matter—not as shortcuts, but as signals. Peptides act as targeted helpers for cellular function, supporting the body’s natural signaling systems and restoring communication where survival has silenced it.
Since March 2021, I have helped hundreds of people through my Fort Worth-based FDN practice take a proactive, systems-biology-level, interdisciplinary approach to metabolic health—one that focuses on optimizing to function younger. Not waiting for disease. Not chasing symptoms. We look at how your hormones, immune system, gut, thyroid, pancreas, and nervous system are working together right now.
Yes, women want peptides—and I understand why. When used responsibly and deliberately, they can be powerful tools that support healing and optimize system performance. That’s why I offer access to peptides through trusted 503a- and 503b-certified compounding pharmacies via EllieMD.
This is your time to move toward your healthiest, happiest self.
I’m here to help you get there—holistically optimized!Â
