Nourish From Within
When I was young, my mother taught me a mantra: “thoughts become things.” In other words, what we think about, focus on, and believe in has the power to influence our actions—and shape the course of our lives. We just need to put in a little work, trust our strengths, and ‘positive-proof’ our mindset. I found this to be true in health and business.
A born-and-raised Chicago girl who’s turned her health challenges into her life’s purpose.
People often ask me: “Elyse, how and when did you get into this?”
Not once but twice in my life, I’ve had to make a major shift in how I approached my own health.
As a child, I fell into the trap of emotional eating, and I became seriously overweight. My classmates called me “Obese Elyse,” and the thought of going to school made me physically sick (even though I had always loved learning).
Later in life, having reshaped my approach to health once, I became deeply ill with celiac disease. For the second time in my life, I had to rebuild my diet and my habits from the ground up.
From each of these experiences, I realized just how frustrating and overwhelming making simple changes can be. It also became clear that health isn’t just about food, weight loss or exercise.
Through my health struggles, I also saw a glaring gap in healthcare. There’s SO much information out there—but not many people are actually taking action and making sustainable changes.
In reality, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, each of us needs a holistic, whole-person, personalized approach to well-being, and I made it my mission to help others find theirs.
For that reason, I received an undergraduate degree in Nutritional Sciences from UW-Madison, Wisconsin, and then a dual Master’s from Bastyr University in Nutrition and Clinical Health Psychology, becoming a Certified Nutritionist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve also studied with the Institute for Functional Medicine and co-founded the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, the gold standard in health coach training.
I believe that you have the ingredients within you right now—you just need a guide and roadmap to show you how to put together your unique personalized recipe for health success that fits the season of your life.
