Melanie Frias
Nutrition Coach
Melanie has always known that her purpose in life was to help people. In 2010, she graduated with her B.S. in Kinesiology with a concentration in exercise and sport science and an emphasis in neuromuscular science. In 2017, Melanie graduated with her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.
While in chiropractic school, she took several nutrition courses and that's where everything transformed for her. Her eyes were opened to a new concept; the body has an innate intelligence that knows exactly what to do and can do exactly what it needs to do, provided we give it what it needs to thrive and don't give it the things that make it fail. Shortly after graduating, Melanie started exhibiting symptoms of an autoimmune condition, which no longer allowed her to practice.
She still wanted to be involved in the chiropractic profession and as such, she is currently a chiropractic assistant at Core Chiropractic. Her symptoms drove her to adopt a real, whole-foods lifestyle. Melanie has since been able to keep most of her symptoms at bay through nutrition and the reduction of toxins.
Melanie is committed to educating people about how to invest in their health when it comes to nutrition and the food industry and toxic load. She believes that food should be used as a proponent to heal the body and that it has every ability to do so. It is her goal to help and empower people to make better and more sustainable choices when it comes to nutrition and toxic load so that they can live a healthy and fulfilling life.
