Introduction
For years I thought I was doing everything right. I was still dealing with constant gut issues, fatigue, skin that wouldn't settle, and getting sick several times a year. I had a career in finance and no real answer for why my body wasn't working the way it should.
What I eventually realized was that I didn't know what "being healthy" actually meant. I had to unlearn years of misinformation and relearn it from the ground up — starting with the understanding that health begins from the inside out. That process led me to study health coaching and holistic nutrition, rethink my habits, and eventually build a company. Today, I share the questions, practices, and discoveries that continue to shape my life.
More about me
Food, strength, health, and skin — the four subjects I keep returning to. Each one written with the underlying research in view.
The perspective
For years I thought I was doing everything right. I had to unlearn most of it before I could learn what health actually was.
When something promises better health, I want to understand the promise. What was actually studied? Who was it studied in? What matters in the way we use it? That curiosity shapes what I share here — and what I'm building.

How I became a health coach at 26 and a founder at 28: leaving finance in New York, moving to Miami Beach, learning to read the fine print of health, and building AMINATIDE.

Founder
I'm the founder of AMINATIDE, a luxury peptide-based skincare house. Its development begins with a question: What is this product asking my skin to do?
