Alisha got into functional medicine when she began noticing her young son was becoming restless, emotional, having difficulty focusing in school, and lacking impulse control. This was also hurting their relationship. He was then diagnosed with ADHD and his school was pushing for her to put him on meds, but she didn't believe he was deficient in Adderall. She believed ADHD was just symptoms of some imbalance in his body. That is when she used her background in Pre-med and science to begin researching possible root causes of his symptoms. In her research, she found in-depth tests to look at his nutrient status, gut microbiome and brain chemistry that led her to heal the root cause of his symptoms. Her son and her now have the best relationship and he is thriving with straight A's, happy, and confident!

With her passion for helping people, Alisha has also been an Engineer / Paramedic with the Phoenix Fire Department for over 20 years! She understands shift work, the impact of a lack of sleep, chronic exposures, and trauma associated with fire fighting and works daily with fire fighters on optimizing their nutrition and health in order to thrive in the environment they are in.
