Meet Nicole

I know what it’s like to be told “you’re fine” when you know deep down something’s not right.

On the outside, I looked like the picture of health. As a former bikini competitor, I knew how to train, eat “clean,” and push my body hard. But behind the scenes, I was struggling.

No matter how much I slept, I was exhausted. My brain fog was so intense I couldn’t focus at work. My weight was creeping up, my skin was acting out, and I felt completely off — like a stranger in my own body.

I went to my doctor. Again and again. But my bloodwork was “normal.” I was told it was probably just stress. Maybe I needed more sleep. But I knew something deeper was going on.

It wasn’t until I worked with a holistic nutritionist and did functional testing that I finally got answers. I had candidiasis, gut inflammation, and hormonal chaos likely triggered by years of antibiotics, birth control, and the extreme demands of competing.

With the right protocol, I began to heal — and everything changed. My energy came back. My skin cleared. The fog lifted. I finally felt like myself again.

That experience led me to become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist — and launch The Gut Reset Lab
