MEET YOUR HOST, Alyssa 🎙️

Your host, Alyssa, is a board-certified PA-C who helps you explore your health questions through gut health education and testing guidance.

You can bring your questions about digestion, everyday routines, and how to evaluate health information.

As a wife and mom herself, Alyssa understands the challenges of balancing family life while pursuing true wellness. She brings a Catholic, faith-based approach to functional medicine.
