“I was on the hamster wheel floating through my days, lacking energy to have any type of work life balance and not feeling sexy in my own skin. Questioning why I no longer felt my best at 40 years young.”
Discipline entails caring enough about yourself to consistently take intentional actions towards self-improvement, even on days when motivation is lacking. This commitment is where true transformation occurs. I fully embraced a plant-based lifestyle to mend my connection with food, restore balance to my gut and hormones, reduce inflammation in my body, and alleviate chronic skin issues. As a result, a whole new world unfolded before me & I shed 29 lbs at 45 years+. I witnessed remarkable changes both internally and externally in my own skin. My energy surged, my mindset shifted, and my body visibly transformed. Through this journey, I cultivated lasting, healthy habits for a balanced life, that I just had to share with YOU.
I guide others on their journey to reclaiming control over their lives. My purpose is to educate individuals on the art of optimal health from the inside out. By prioritizing nourishing and vibrant foods, engaging in mindful daily movement, nurturing our spiritual connection, and fostering meaningful relationships, we emit a radiant beauty. This beauty transcends mere appearances; it emanates from our souls and shines through our eyes. Moreover, by attentively tending to our gut health, you will look and feel your absolutely BEST, naturally.
Hi there, I’m STAR HOPE.
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. My story started with my Mother’s health journey through Multiple Myeloma at the City of HOPE in 2016. I was on a mission to ensure she had longer than the 2-5 years Doctors projected. With all women in my lineage battling the c-word I knew I had to make changes to break the cycle! During this time I did a lot of self-reflecting and discovered many things I was not happy with.
I looked outward for self-validation, held myself standards to photoshopped models, celebrity friends, and developed bad living habits while trying to forget past traumatic life events. I wondered why I had adult acne, & couldn’t shed the excess weight I wanted. I suffered from severe headaches, lack of energy, and relied on toxic coffee drinks and THC to get me through each day. In the evenings, I traded in my toxic coffee for multiple glasses of wine, sugary sweets, and self-medicating myself to sleep each night.
Then I realized it’s all about MINDSET - LIFESTYLE and DISCIPLINE
Through this journey of self-improvement, I obtained certification as a Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I then took additional courses specialized in gut health and detoxification. I partnered with Zilis (health & wellness supplement company) to bring you, BIOTIX, a prebiotic, plusbiotic and probiotic, in a biodigestible capsule. This product not only played a pivotal role in my personal health journey but also positively impacted hundreds of others. My education at IIN deepened my comprehension of nutrition, the origins of our food, the multitude of toxins we encounter daily, and the holistic relationship between overall well-being, happiness, and health. Recognizing the interconnectedness of aspects such as weight, dietary choices, beauty, relationships, and freedom is crucial.
