Hi! I’m Lori Zabka

I’m on a mission to help you restore your health and achieve optimal wellness so that you can live your life to the absolute fullest. 

I spent the 70’s and 80’s strung out on sugar and the Standard American Diet. Although I was an active kid and enjoyed riding bikes, roller skating, and playing outside till dark, I was also riding the waves of erratic blood sugar, battling crippling anxiety, and fast-tracking my way towards chronic inflammation and disease. 

By the mid 90’s, as a young woman in my early 20’s, I was sick. I was pale, weak, constantly nauseated, and cycling through anti-anxiety meds. I was plagued with digestive issues, chronic infections, and a host of other “weird body symptoms” that (unbeknownst to me) were manifestations of the inferno of inflammation in my body. 

I sought answers from doctors and specialists, but the consensus was: “nothing’s wrong.” Thankfully, somewhere in the recesses of my inflamed brain, a little message popped up that said, “BS! There IS something wrong!”

So, I found a Functional Medicine Doc, who ran blood tests, stool tests, and a hair analysis. He dove into my history & my habits..he left no stone unturned. The result? I was an inflamed borderline Type 2 Diabetic, on my way to heart disease (and every other chronic ailment) if I didn’t change my ways, immediately…so I did.

I devoured every piece of wisdom and coaching that he gave me. I changed my diet, flooded my body with nutrients, lifted weights, walked daily, learned to mitigate stress & toxins, and put boundaries around my sleep. Within a few weeks, I began to feel different. Within a few months, I began to look different. And now, at age 50, I am healthier than my former 20-year old self. 

Friend, I understand the confusing parade of symptoms that never resolve. I can relate to the anxiety, the sleeplessness, the cravings that keep driving crappy food choices, the fatigue, and the feeling that something is very wrong….despite being told otherwise. 

I also know what it’s like to have someone who sees you, and has the tools to dig you out of a hole. I’ve been there, and now I’m on the other side. Today, I’m a Board Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and Certified Personal Trainer. I’ve spent the past 17 years helping clients reset their own wellness in order to become their healthiest selves.
