About:

Hi! Welcome to my blog and thank you for taking the time to get to know a wild, crazy soul like myself.

My name is Patty and here is my journey, thus far.

Three years ago, my passion for nutrition was ignited by a strong wave of depression and anxiety that drove me to experience orthorexia and alarmed several close family members and friends as dieting became my life. Since then, I’ve experienced it all: binge-eating, weight gain, weight-lifting, a long hiatus from the gym, and now I’m experiencing the most blissful balance of nutrition that’s realistic for a young 21 year old like me that enjoys weekend travels, yet indulges heavily into vegan style dishes during the week — aka, what it best understood as intuitive eating.

I won’t lie, it’s taken many trials and tribulations as to what has brought me here that has included several different trials of antidepressants, lifestyle changes, and all the same in betweens that includes heartache, turning twenty-fun, and attempting to find that zen balance all while balancing a volunteer position, a job, and being a full time Foods & Nutrition student.

Here is my blog as to where I hope to show you a different side of Nutrition students that includes not only my knowledge I’ve been gaining thus far in studying Foods & Nutrition, but in my passions that makes me feel alive everyday, a glimpse into my soul that drives me to have such a wild, vivid lifestyle, and as to how this balancing act of zen is perfectly imperfect.

Here is my raw soul. I hope to grow with you!
