I’m Carolina, a Nutritionist-Dietitian and Functional Medicine Practitioner passionate about helping people uncover the true causes behind their symptoms and support lasting wellness.

From a young age, I was fascinated by how the human body works—but also deeply anxious about my own health. I studied Nutrition and Dietetics, driven by a belief that food could be a powerful tool for healing. Back then, nutrition was rarely seen as part of medicine, and I eventually drifted into the corporate world. My purpose—helping people heal—got buried under deadlines and marketing plans. Years later, my anxiety and health struggles deepened. I believed my body was broken and that my genetics had already decided my fate. I associated having any symptom, going to the doctor, or anything related to my body with “fear” and “a sentence.” When my mother and grandmother were both diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, that belief seemed confirmed. Even my doctor told me I might also have “won the lottery ticket” just like them, when older. But curiosity can be powerful medicine. I began to study everything I could about the condition, all the “modifiable” factors involved, and I learned how much the body’s capacity can shift when given the right environment. That search led me to Functional Medicine—and my vision of medicine and my body changed forever. I was no longer scared; I was EMPOWERED. I learned that symptoms are not random; they’re messages. When we uncover their root contributors—gut imbalances, inflammation, toxins, stress—we can awaken the body’s natural resilience in profound ways. Medicine doesn’t have to be fear. A diagnosis doesn’t have to mean resignation. Medicine is hope, and there is so much we can do to support long-term health and age with vitality. Today, after earning my certification and transforming my own health, I founded True Cause Health, and I’m devoted to helping others discover the same. My work focuses on understanding root causes and supporting the body through a personalized, scientific, and compassionate approach.
