Annika is a Licensed Nutritionist and Dietitian with twenty-six years experience in Medical Nutrition Therapy and functional medicine to address the root cause of health conditions.
Her passion for nutrition and functional medicine stems from her decades of chronic health struggles which prevented her from living the life she wanted. Annika was plagued with with multiple conditions including autoimmune thyroid disease, chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, bronchial and sinus infections, debilitating menstrual symptoms, PCOS, hypoglycemia, kidney stones, chronic headaches, and heavy metal toxicity, and ultimately, was told her conditions were incurable and be unable to conceive. What she discovered instead is that she just needed a different approach to healing... Food-as-medicine!
By addressing the root causes of her symptoms one by one, she became a new version of herself, free of debilitating disease, capable of conceiving, and able to live life to the fullest!
Annika customizes a lifestyle medicine program for each of her clients in order to address the unique root cause of their weight gain and health challenges especially through peri- and post-menopause.
Annika completed her dietetics internship in Endocrinology at Cleveland Clinic of Weston. She received her undergraduate degree (B.A.) from Swarthmore College in psychology/pre-medical, and then completed a Bachelors in Science from Keiser University where she graduated valedictorian.
