SHIFT360 Method
MEET YOUR PRACTITIONER
The woman who walked the path before she paved it.
At 40, I weighed 302 pounds. I was juggling five daily prescriptions for chronic disease, and my doctors kept telling me my labs were "normal" — but I felt anything but. My legs were swollen, my energy was gone, and I knew something had to change.
"I started with my gut. Within months, I had my body — and my life — back. SHIFT360 is what I built so other women wouldn't have to figure it out alone."
Today, as a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years of clinical experience, I help women cut through the symptom-management noise and address what's actually driving their fatigue, weight resistance, brain fog, and inflammation.
