Finding Answers
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, my early years were immersed in the acting and modeling world—a path I pursued despite my parents objections. By the age of 12, I secured my first paying gig and was loving every minute of the journey . My heart has always been set on connecting with people. When college approached, my parents declined to support a performing arts degree.Influenced by my father, a lawyer who valued helping others through his profession, I opted for law school and earned a law degree. Life then took a turn when my then-husband received a job offer in the US, prompting our family, including our 6-month-old daughter, to relocate. Starting over was challenging without friends or family nearby, which nudged me back into the performing arts. I was fortunate to spend over a decade in acting, commercial modeling, and theater. However, this lifestyle took its toll on my health. I was juggling motherhood and striving for what I believed was "health"—maintaining a slim figure for the camera, eating salads, avoiding meat, and over-exercising daily. By my mid-20s, the repercussions of my lifestyle began to surface .I couldn't sleep through the night, I suffered from brain fog, IBS, bloating, food sensitivities, chronic fatigue , depression – just a few of my symptoms. I saw doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists, but no one could tell me why I felt so bad! I was offered the pill, antidepressants, and advice like, 'you're healthy! At the end of my rope, I found something called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition.
