ALLI COOK, FDN-P, Licensed Aesthetician

I used to be in the same position you might be in right now, feeling sick, lost, broken, insecure, just defeated - but still have some hope. I suffered with chronic illness for 10+ years of my life, dealing with a laundry list of symptoms including acne, severe gut dysfunction, mold illness and anxiety. I felt like I had tried everything under the sun, I was even still battling with acne 5 years into being an Aesthetician. It wasn't until I discovered Functional Medicine, that my entire perspective on healing changed. I stopped obsessing over each symptom and trying to figure why this was all happening to me. It took me multiple years and much trial & error to find my answers for healing, but I believe it happened for me and not to me, as I learned so much about the body & myself - I had become so passionate about the body's ability to heal, completely holistically. I had worked many years as an Aesthetician helping clients with acne heal their skin topically, but I knew from my own experience, symptoms like acne take a whole-body healing approach. Out of craving knowledge for my own healing, and my passion for helping other humans, I began studying Functional Medicine to become a the Functional Nutritionist Practitioner that I am today. Through my own healing process I have learned to combine science, nutrition, mind, body & soul connection, and lifestyle changes to provide the body the tools it needs to feel safe in order to heal, from the inside out.
