C.H.N.
Hi! I’m Roxi, certified Holistic Nutritionist, tea sommelier and author of No Prescriptions Needed and The Quick and Easy Whole Foods Plant Based Cookbook. And believe me, I understand just how challenging it can be to transition to a new way of eating.
For over a decade, I struggled with an “incurable” condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome; an endocrine, hormonal and metabolic disorder that affects 1 in 5 of women. I suffered symptoms like facial hair, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, acne, hair loss, obesity, insulin resistance and more.
After years of failed fad diets, weight loss drinks, fat burning pills, waist trainers, and other quick ways to lose weight – I gave up. I lacked the confidence and mindset required to change my outcome.
Once I became pre-diabetic due to my weight, I was prescribed various medications that had horrible side effects (including birth control pills, metformin, clomid, antibiotics, and more) - I knew something had to change. By incorporating healthier habits (a plant based lifestyle) and routines, my starting weight of 247 pounds quickly dropped to 135 pounds (within 12 months) and my PCOS symptoms were no longer present.
After living with PCOS for fourteen and a half years, in 2018 I received amazing news from my team of physicians that I no longer fit the Rotterdamn Criteria for having PCOS.
I realized that I have the power to do and be anything; I create the healthy life I want to live. I view my story as a proof that you too can beat the odds and live beyond your own limitations. ♥
I am passionate about empowering my community to build healthy habits by changing their relationship with food, themselves, and each other.
