Behind the Scenes of My Career Path: Your Questions Answered This is a long overdue podcast episode that you have been asking for, for YEARS! In this episode, I answer the questions I get most often about my career journey, how I built my practice, and the trainings that shaped my approach. You can also find more specifics on this over at functionalfueling.com/about. I hope this episode helps guide you on your career path! A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇 • How a functional nutrition undergrad & grad school program gave me a systems-first lens that guides my work today • Lessons from working as a sports dietitian in sports medicine and athlete performance, including interpreting labs, supporting menstrual health, and integrating sports medicine into nutrition practice • How my passion in functional nutrition shifted 5 years in and why I made the transition from sports to internal medicine and how this shaped my philosophy and helped me spot advanced hormone patterns in chronic disease populations • How I use performance data—exercise information, nervous system function, and other sports medicine lab metrics—to identify what truly moves the needle for women of all activity levels • The story behind building Functional Fueling®, some of the advanced trainings I’ve completed, and simple advice for starting a private practice • How I apply systems biology in practice, connecting hormones with other body systems and sequencing care for effective results  Important show links 👇👇👇 Join my 3 Part Hormone Testing Workshop Series (Clinicians Only) to learn how to spot advanced hormone patterns, analyzing labs and functional nutrition and supplement support: Register Here Follow me on Instagram Rate the show!
