About Me
My health transformation journey is one for the books – literally! {check out NUT JOB}.
I had been living in fear for four decades because of my chronic health conditions which included over 32 severe food allergies, severe asthma, and environmental allergies.
For most of my life, I was barely surviving in my health, and also had the added stressors of work and trying to live a normal life.
Then in 2008, I found myself on the emergency room table again for a fourth time. This was my rock bottom. I felt that I was managing my health ‘wrong’ and also managing my life ‘wrong.’ There was compounded detriment to my mental, spiritual, and emotional health due to my physical health issues.
I was stuck. I was defeated. I needed a new way.
With these realizations in 2008, a small fire was lit in my soul to rise up, look at my situation through a different lens – a healing lens. A lens that considered my holistic health (physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional).
I began, what became a ten-year journey to healing, becoming the best version of myself. It was a journey to go from surviving to thriving in my health, my work, and my life.
I set out to get to root cause of what was causing my food allergies and why I kept having anaphlyaxsis incidents and severe reactions.
During this time, and in partnership with a medical team that I put together and managed , I created a framework of healing across my holistic health that was rooted in evidence-based science. This program called Three To BeTM, is what I worked and followed over the course of 10 years, testing and tweaking each area to get desired results.
In 2020, through component-level blood testing, we learned that I had eliminated ALL of my severe food allergies and was in “remission.” Thereafter, we conducted food oral challenges for all of the foods I was allergic to and received the same results.
Today, I am still in remission!
This incredible health transformation was so compelling that my mission today is to help people thrive across their work-health-life, with health being the foundation. I do this through my content, my book, as a Best-Selling Author, Global Wellness Speaker, and Coach.
My journey is an incredible story of fighting the odds, never letting people tell you that you can’t, and persevering with grit to achieve optimal outcomes.
Thank you for being on this next chapter with me.
If I can do it, you can too!

Early Childhood
Playing in a sandbox with friends is what an average 3-year-old should be doing—not being allergic to the sand itself. It was a bite of a yummy peanut butter & jelly sandwich which almost ended my life. I was rushed to the emergency room only to be diagnosed with severe food allergies. Soon thereafter, the icing on my nut-free cake was an asthma diagnosis and severe environmental allergies. My Indian parents had their hands full trying to figure out what life would look like for their first-generation middle child.

Teenage Years
Trying to be a typical teenager, I didn’t want my friends knowing about my food allergies for fault of being labeled as weird or uncool. So, I did what anyone in my position may have done: I hid them for years from everyone besides my immediate family to blend in with the crowd. That didn’t always work and during this time I experienced my second anaphylactic incident.

Young Adult
In college I would experience my third anaphylactic incident due to my food allergies. This one was more severe than the previous, and I truly was over it. I felt the need for change, so moved across the country to California after graduating—hoping that the healthy living on the West Coast would begin to heal me. I slowly began to open up to close friends about my allergies and was blessed with thirteen years of no emergent food allergy incidents, a time-period I named “Lucky 13”, leading up to 2008.

Adulthood
The year 2008 would become a pivotal one. I experienced my fourth food allergy incident after dining at a restaurant with friends. If I thought the other 3 incidents were bad, I had no idea what was to come. For one year thereafter, I had hives all over my body that were a result of the levels of toxicity in my body. I had officially hit rock bottom which would cause me to feel that I was “doing life wrong.” Feeling lost, and purposeless in my health and in life, I slowly began to walk down a new path that would eventually lead me to finding myself, loving myself, and healing myself of my food allergies once and for all.
