FOUNDER & FUNCTIONAL HEALTH PRACTITIONER

About 15 years into my Type 1 diabetes journey, I developed neuropathy in my feet. It felt like I had pebbles in my shoes. After another 10 years of worsening symptoms, including burning, numbness, and balance problems, I agreed to try some medications for nerve pain. While they helped a bit, my doctor kept increasing the dose until I felt dizzy.

Five years ago, I decided to stop all conventional meds for the neuropathy and began to look for different solutions. I thought, "I can't go on like this—where does it end? What does the future hold for me unless I try something different?" That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine. I studied its principles, applied them to myself, and have been able to take back my health. I feel empowered and see myself as a healthy person in the future, and I want the same for you, so New Life Functional Health was born!
