Community Collaborations: Alexa Aboudaram and Navigating Nutrients
My name is Alexa Aboudaram, owner of Navigating Nutrients. I am an Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP)
Why did you open Navigating Nutrients?
In 2017, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, prescribed medication, and informed I would continue to need a higher dose for the rest of my life and that there was nothing I could do about any of it. What a shock! I felt helpless and “doomed” to my symptoms and medication forever.
Throughout the following year, I experienced debilitating fatigue, underwent half a dozen surgeries, and had a list of questions my doctors couldn’t answer. My medication dose tripled, yet I was feeling worse than ever. I was frustrated that my body seemed like it was falling apart so young.
I refused to stand idly by; I wanted to take charge of my health and get to the truth.Through the suggestion of a good doctor and a year of trial and error, my symptoms vanished, and I entered into remission; all because of food and lifestyle changes. In awe of what nutrition could do, I enrolled at the National Therapy Association soon after starting Navigating Nutrients.
