My Story:
I am Rhonda Simmons, certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle practitioner, and certified Neurotoxic Assessment practitioner based in Kentucky. I educate and advocate for women to nurture their bodies and minds with actionable steps. These steps, may lead to increasing metabolism, balancing hormones, improving moods, and increasing sustainable energy.
As a child, I dealt with blood sugar issues day after day. I learned very early about blood sugar balance and how food made me feel. My mother warned my college roommates how irritable I would become if I didn‘t eat every few hours. I became “hangry“! I was a hostage to food, needing to always eat breakfast first thing in the morning and always needing to carry a snack around during the day. Little did I know, that my lifestyle and way of eating was contributing to all my symptoms and issues. The older I became, the more prevalent my symptoms would reveal themselves.
...
Can you relate?
I was raised in the era of “Fat Fear” and “Calories in vs. Calories out” ideology.
“Exercise more and eat less”, they would say!!!
I have always been fascinated with anything related to health and wellness. I was eager to know how my body worked and the best way to get it lean and trim. Part of that journey led me to earn my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and become a Certified Personal Trainer. I worked in the fitness industry for many years following all the familiar concepts. Most clients saw results, but the frustrations were common; plateaued weight loss, lack of energy, aches, and pains, and sometimes weight gain. Why isn’t this working for everyone? Now more than ever, I understand the uniqueness of every person, the benefits of real whole foods, and the importance of our everyday choices.
After college, my story continues. I eventually married and started a family. After my first child, we moved to a new city where I could step back from working outside the home and raise my 3 children. Like many, I fed them low fat foods, processed foods (claiming to be healthy), and on occasion, fast food a couple of times per week. After all, the media and marketing made me feel like a super-mom feeding them “fortified cereals, chicken nuggets and yogurt with sprinkles.
Health and nutrition were even more at the forefront now that I had these sweet little bodies to nurture!
I was learning the impact of quality food, exercise, sleep and relationships.
And it all matters!
When child #3 started having behavior issues that would turn all-eyes-on-you-in-a-crowd, I knew I had a problem. Thankfully, my love for learning and my determination to help my child gave me the motivation to never stop looking for answers. With the advances of the internet, and social media, I came across new information. Food and lifestyle factors influence our mood, energy, sleep, cognition and our genes! Knowing this, I finally felt like there was hope for helping my child! We could make small changes on our own that would make a difference. I later became a certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle practitioner through the Functional Nutrition Alliance.
I learned how the body systems are all connected and finding the root cause to dysfunction leads to better, sustaining results.
While learning what was going to benefit my inconsolable toddler, I also realized how it was going to benefit my WHOLE family. We have made changes to the way we eat as a family. My own issues that were common, though NOT normal, were also beginning to change. My low energy, PMS, belly bloat, aches and pains, blood sugar issues, mood highs and lows, sleep issues, and extreme hunger cravings all started to diminish. I stay active by exercising, volunteering for kids’ school and sporting activities, traveling, and playing occasional pickleball and golf. I have to be functioning at optimal levels!
I believe that the body was created to heal itself.
While there are times when conventional medicine is necessary and appropriate, I do believe that most chronic conditions can be greatly improved with lifestyle modifications.
Every person, at any age, has the power to improve their quality of life, no matter their diagnosis or symptoms!
I do NOT fall into the limiting belief that dis-ease and chronic illness are inevitable as we age.
Just because a symptom or condition is COMMON, does not mean that it is NORMAL!
The results I saw for myself, and my family did not happen overnight. But with my knowledge and dedication to health, let me help you get there faster! I will guide you along the way. I am dedicated to evidence-based practices and ongoing professional development in this rapidly changing field. In a therapeutic partnership, we will work together so you can start feeling your best! The control for better moods, quality sleep, hormone balance, and sustainable energy are in your hands. I will give you the tools and knowledge to make continual lifestyle changes. When you KNOW better, you DO better!
You do not have to do this alone. Let’s work together so you can reveal your most healthy potential!
