After surviving 2 rounds of advanced metastatic Stage 3 cancer, and developing multiple auto-immune diseases following her difficult treatments, she used a combination of conventional, Integrative and Functional medicine to reclaim her health.

Through this process, her focus within medicine shifted, and she decided to combine her love for nutrition and fitness with her vast knowledge of clinical medicine, and personal health experiences to study Functional Medicine. Crystal has since completed intensive training with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). She has also completed a 9-month in-depth training in Functional Nutrition through Functional Nutrition Alliance and is undergoing a mastery SIBO training to become a SIBO-Doctor-Approved Practitioner.
