Welcome!
Hi! I’m Lyssandra Guerra, a certified holistic nutritionist and wellness advisor, founder of Native Palms Nutrition.
I’m deeply passionate and knowledgable about healing the human body naturally and experiencing our humanness with nature. I believe in science, natural medicine, and the body’s own wisdom to improve health and wellbeing. I believe living naturally is an art form and a daily practice that takes patience, self-compassion, and curiosity.
Holistic nutrition and medicine has helped me reach an amazing state of health and has helped me feel into my body. I’ve gained confidence in my ability to heal, strengthened my intuition to make conscious food and lifestyle choices, have built a strong internal GPS system, have developed healthier relationships with others and began achieving my life goals.
Now, I find joy in helping you feel your damn best self too.
In 2007, my journey began with the challenges of chronic constipation, bloating, parasites, candida overgrowth, mood swings, heightened stress, PMS, irregular + missed periods, and disordered eating.
My symptoms began after I entered a cycle of trauma and depression, which led to unhealthy eating habits, a lack of self-love, a sense of disconnection from my body, and an overall lifestyle that failed to nurture a healthy body. This lasted for nearly a decade and marks the most challenging era of my life. I didn’t like myself and wasn’t sure if this is who I was or if there was another path for me.
In desperation of finding a happier, healthier version of myself, I fell upon self-help books and self-healing my body with nutrition, herbalism, and any other natural healing tools. Although I had moments of feeling better overall, I was still dealing with gut and period issues, so I decided to formally study those topics within holistic and functional nutrition and medicine in the year of 2014.
I don’t regret or hold onto any guilt from my past health choices. I believe I have been meant to experience every single ailment that has caused me to suffer so deeply, so that I could have helped every frustrated and pained woman that has come into my office.
