Behind the blog
hey there, it’s nice to meet you - i’m Jamie
I’m a mama of two, chemistry professor, integrative nutrition coach, and integrative & functional nutrition PhD student.
I started this blog as a place to compile everything I’m learning into helpful posts that can benefit anyone on a similar path. Whether you are trying to live a healthier lifestyle, build the perfect skincare routine, or focus on your mental health – I plan to cover it all with the help of science, research, and a latte in hand. I hope I can help just one person make more informed choices to live a long and happy life.
