"I realize plant-based thinking should be applied to every niche" Chanelle grappled with eczema and hormonal chaos for many years. When trying to seek medical intervention she was dismissed by doctors and given little hope her ailments would be resolved. Chanelle took this as a sign to dive into her own research. She also sought more holistic approaches that suggested nutrition could be her saving grace. By removing animal products in addition to some other lifestyle changes, Chanelle was able to heal. Her own journey was so tumultuous, that she was inspired to go back to school and become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Functional Hormone Educator in order to help others like herself.  If you want to connect with Chanelle, visit the following: Instagram: @chanellelagasse Website: www.evergreennourishco.com _____________________________________________________________________ WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
