I lacked energy and focus, my body was stiff, and I found myself mindlessly eating in front of my computer all day long.
Sound familiar?
Something had to change.
I put my research skills to work — diving deep into nutrition, wellness, and the science of behavior change. A few months later I was meal prepping, moving my body, and feeling genuinely better. When colleagues started coming to me for nutrition advice, I couldn't deny where my real passion was. I left the legal profession and went back to school to become a registered dietitian.
What fascinated me most wasn't just the science of nutrition — it was the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. We make over 200 food decisions a day. By decision number 200, willpower is gone. Information alone doesn't change behavior. Support does.
As I dug deeper into functional nutrition and root-cause health, I kept coming back to the same truth: what we eat is only part of the picture. What surrounds us — the products we use, the air we breathe, the chemicals in our homes — affects how we feel just as profoundly as what's on our plate. Reducing our toxic load isn't a trend or a lifestyle preference. It's a necessary part of feeling genuinely well.
There's such freedom when we stop focusing only on food and start looking at the full picture — everything we eat, use, and bring into our lives.
That's what Abby's Food Court is built on — the understanding that food, environment, and how we live are all connected. And that when you address all of it, everything changes.
