ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Before becoming a certified practitioner, founder Micaela Riley struggled with weight gain, bloating, irregular cycles, and more, constantly feeling like a stranger in her own body.
At a young age, her doctors put her on hormonal birth control and antibiotics — without running any labs. And her symptoms never changed.
She was working out 6 -7 days a week, teaching fitness classes, and eating clean — and still, no change. This led her to a long road of seeking help from a variety of specialists, all telling her “Your labs are normal,” “This is just part of being a woman,” and “You need to go back on birth control.”
finally, SHE FOUND A SOLUTION.
Tired of being dismissed by Western Medicine, she found a functional medicine doctor and identified the root cause. She had cortisol imbalance, PCOS, Hashimotos, sibo, bloating, and a ruined metabolism. But finally, through functional lab testing and other wellness routines she was able to reverse her symptoms and eventually feel well in her body again.
After seeing the dramatic change in her life, Micaela knew she needed to share how functional health helped her.
Micaela and team have the depth of research, data and expertise to support you in every shift as you find balance and get well.
