She began <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full Body Systems<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without any prior nutrition training, and now she\u2019s thriving in practice and making an impact in her community.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali shares with us how she began her practice, and how simple, organic conversations allow her to educate people in her community about health, nutrition, and ways they can empower themselves and their families.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: Can you tell me a little bit about your story and how you got interested in nutrition?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali:<\/strong> I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at 15, and there weren\u2019t drugs at that time. My doctors told me I had to take care of my body. I remember my pediatric neurologist saying, \u201cYou can\u2019t stay up all night like all the other teenagers can. You have to sleep.\u201d That\u2019s how I knew lifestyle was a part of the puzzle, although we didn\u2019t call it that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I went through all the nutrition phases\u2014vegan, non-fat in the 90s, Healthy Choice frozen meals\u2026 I had this long-time interest in understanding long-term health problems and how we can use nutrition to address them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: How did you find Andrea and Functional Nutrition Lab?&nbsp;<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali:<\/strong> I wanted to learn more about the human body. I wanted a deep dive, something more than nutrition. I was looking for a program that would teach me how nutrition works in the human body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember opening up Andrea\u2019s email and saying, \u201cMy gosh, this is what I want to do! This is the class I want to take.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I knew some people who had gone through other programs, and so many of them were struggling. They kept saying, \u201cWhat do I do with this now? How do I open a business with this basic information?\u201d But I felt differently. I was confident. I knew exactly what I was going to do because I had Andrea\u2019s training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: As someone who didn&#8217;t have any prior health or nutrition training what was it like to be in class?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali:<\/strong> It\u2019s definitely a lot of information but I absolutely love Andrea\u2019s way of teaching. For me, I think the reason I could digest it quickly is I had such a strong desire to learn what she was teaching. I was like, \u201cI am excited, give me more!\u201d I do have to say that I would get off the calls needing to digest all she said. A lot went into my brain and I needed time to process. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I accepted that and gave myself that time. I didn&#8217;t expect to understand it all at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: What do you think set you up for success?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali<\/strong>: Part of why people want to work with me is that I\u2019ve had a chronic condition for many years and I\u2019m living a full life. It\u2019s not just folks with MS. It\u2019s also friends. They\u2019re like \u201cWow, you\u2019ve had MS for 31 years and look at you. You\u2019re obviously doing something right. Can you help me with my digestion? Or my autoimmune disease?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, my business grew through my friends. I\u2019m 46. That\u2019s an age where people are saying things like, \u201cOK, my kids are old enough to where I can start thinking about myself. My kids are sleeping through the night but I\u2019m not.\u201d Or, \u201cI get headaches several times a week and I have for the last 10 years.\u201d And I say that they don\u2019t have to. I can help them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes people will hear that I\u2019ve studied functional nutrition and they\u2019ll say something like, \u201cWhat do you know about the menopausal symptoms I am experiencing?\u201d And I\u2019ll tell them so many of their uncomfortable symptoms can be helped with nutritional changes. They say, \u201cReally?\u201d Then we start to talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason I think my practice has grown so much is that people feel safe to come and share their story. And I share my story right back. I love sharing vulnerabilities. I love a deep connection. A deep relationship. And that\u2019s how it works. People show up and they\u2019re vulnerable. Whether it\u2019s about their poop, their fatigue or something bigger.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: Anything else you want to share, or anything you\u2019d say to someone considering Full Body Systems who doesn\u2019t have a healthcare background?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali:<\/strong> You are going to learn a tremendous amount about the human body\u2014about physiology, anatomy, and then how nutrition and lifestyle play a role in it. It\u2019s amazing to learn how it all comes together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andrea is a phenomenal teacher. She\u2019s really good! She\u2019s so interesting. So engaging. You want to listen, you don\u2019t want her to stop\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full Body Systems<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After that, you can decide if you want to do other trainings, but you have to do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full Body Systems<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s the foundation for helping people finally feel better.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>FNL: Any final words?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ali:<\/strong> I just want to say how much I love this program. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full Body Systems<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the whole reason I have a practice. The support is amazing. And the tools, the knowledge, the confidence, and the people I\u2019ve met. The friends I\u2019ve met through the program are amazing. We all think alike. It\u2019s just a really cool community led by a cool woman and I\u2019m honored to be a part of it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andrea created this amazing environment of wanting all of us to collaborate together. I think it&#8217;s because she shares so much. She\u2019s always offering us resources and saying, \u201cYou can use this in your program.\u201d So we do that too. We say to each other, \u201cHey, I made this. Use it.\u201d It\u2019s a really nice community of all of us collaborating, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and not feeling isolated or alone in our work, even though we are solo-practitioners in our practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of it comes from leadership. From the culture of the school. The culture is about learning and community and lifting us all up. We\u2019re all really supportive of each other and it\u2019s a wonderful community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever wondered if it\u2019s possible to have a thriving practice as a Functional Nutrition Counselor, even if you don\u2019t have prior experience in the field, then you\u2019re going to love Ali\u2019s story.
