My Story
Meet Josette, MS, CNS®, CN, LDN
As a young adult, I battled disabling chronic migraines, gut dysfunction, depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, brain fog, and fatigue. These issues left me bedridden, forced me to quit my job as a journalist, and led me to a breaking point where, at age 25, I attempted to end my life.
Looking back, I realize that my health struggles began early—hospitalized with viral meningitis as a newborn, suffering from colic and jaundice, and later consuming a highly processed, inflammatory diet. A genetic predisposition for migraines only worsened my condition, averaging 25 migraine days per month by age 18. Despite trying countless medications, including Botox injections, my health continued to decline, leaving me feeling hopeless.
In 2011, I discovered Functional Medicine and began piecing together the reasons behind my suffering. Through years of learning combined with a dose of experimentation, I combined the Gerson Therapy and Functional Medicine to successfully heal my migraines, depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and gut issues.
Today, I am free from the pain that once controlled my life. This journey inspired me to help others facing similar struggles—those who feel overwhelmed and hopeless despite trying everything.
My expertise includes a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, clinical experience at New Frontiers Functional Medicine & Nutrition Clinic, and participation in the Migraine Mastery Program at Psalm Medical. I also co-authored a groundbreaking study published in Aging and contributed to Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s Younger You. I am a Licensed Dietetic Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
Now, I empower others to reclaim their health and hope. You are not alone—there is a path forward.
If you or someone you know suffers from migraine headaches, I’d be honored to connect with you and discuss ways our holistic approach may be helpful.
