My Story

My Journey to Everyday Wellness

In 2018, I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib). At the time, I had no idea that diagnosis was just the beginning of a much larger health journey.

I began gaining weight despite the fact that nothing had changed in my diet or exercise routine. For years, routine bloodwork had shown what doctors referred to as a “fatty liver.” Like many people, I was told to lose weight, avoid fatty foods, and continue dieting. I followed the advice, but my health continued to decline.

A year later, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused significant joint pain. As new medications were added to manage my symptoms, my liver function tests rose dramatically. Despite ongoing concerns, there were still no clear answers.

Everything changed in 2020 when I moved and established care with new specialists. My rheumatologist was surprised that a more extensive liver evaluation had never been completed and referred me to a liver specialist. After a liver biopsy, I received life-changing news: I had Stage 3-4 cirrhosis caused by Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

I was shocked.

I had never been a heavy drinker. In fact, my liver disease had nothing to do with alcohol. By the time it was discovered, significant scarring had already occurred, and the damage could not be reversed. My focus would need to be on preventing further progression and improving my overall health.

That diagnosis became my turning point.

I decided to take a hard look at everything entering my home and my body. I began researching ingredients in food, household products, personal care items, and everyday products many of us use without a second thought. I learned about artificial ingredients, endocrine disruptors, forever chemicals, and highly processed foods. The more I learned, the more determined I became to make changes.

I started replacing products one by one. Cleaning supplies, beauty products, personal care products, and packaged foods were all reevaluated. What began as a health necessity quickly became a passion for learning how everyday choices impact long-term wellness.

As more clean and non-toxic products became available, I continued researching, testing, and discovering better alternatives. My goal wasn’t perfection—it was progress.

Today, my liver condition is stable. My heart condition is stable. I have lost over 70 pounds and maintained that weight loss for more than two years. Most importantly, I feel better than I have in many years.

My journey taught me that wellness isn’t built overnight. It’s created through consistent choices, education, and a willingness to take ownership of our health.

I know many people are just beginning their own wellness journey. You may be facing chronic health challenges, struggling with weight, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information, or simply looking for healthier options for yourself and your family.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

Everyday Wellness Co. was created to share the products, resources, and lessons that have helped transform my life. Here you’ll find wellness recommendations, clean living inspiration, health-focused products, and a supportive community of people who are striving to feel their best.

I’m not a doctor. I’m someone who has walked this path, faced difficult diagnoses, made significant lifestyle changes, and experienced the results firsthand.

My hope is that my story encourages you to believe that positive change is possible.

Wellness is achievable.

One choice. One product. One day at a time.
