This is why you should hire me as your functional nutritionist
Jun 10, 2025I'm Rita and the founder and CEO of “ Radiate with Rita” and functional nutrition practitioner. I’m the first in my family to graduate from college. Married to my best friend, and I’m a cat mom to three tabby cats: Oscar, Stella + Shiloh. I love lifting, yoga, pilates, traveling, the outdoors, hiking, herbs, walking, and all the sunshine. I love talking about all things gut health.
I have also struggled with endometriosis. like hell for a longgg time like many of you. I got diagnosed at 20 + endo claimed the better part of my 20s.
For YEARS, I had..
- Painful cycles causing me to miss work / school + become besties with ibuprofen + a heating pad
- Pelvic pain outside of my cycles that made it difficult to walk
- Brutal PMDD
- Chronic fatigue that made it hard to get through the day
- Cystic acne that left me dreading leaving the house
- Chronic constipation + food sensitivities which just made my pain even worse
- Even more symptoms from all the medications I was taking to manage my endo
I had 3 surgeries over 6 years for pelvic pain, 12 diff birth controls, + 2 years total of medically induced menopause, but NOTHING helped… But eventually I got to a place where I felt like something had to give. This could not be my reality forever and I didn’t want it to be. So I stopped chasing quick, bandaid fixes and got curious about WHY my pain + symptoms were so bad in the first place.
I was done settling for "it's just endo or IBS" when I couldn’t eat sh*t without bloating, my skin was freaking out, + I felt like a prisoner in my own body. I researched. I trial-and-errored… and eventually hired a functional practitioner because I was OVER the DIY burnout...I wanted real answers. Real relief. And not just some improvements. And with functional labs + root-cause work...diving into minerals, gut health, hormones, blood sugar balance, nervous system support, supporting detox...
I changed my whole d@mn life. Endo has a large genetic component, but our habits, lifestyle + these factors absolutely DO play a role in how we feel day to day.And now? I’m a functional nutritionist that helps other women do the same.
To feel at home in their body again. To feel confident in their skin again. To ditch the bloat, period pain, fatigue, skin issues, fertility struggles, and symptoms, chronic conditions like endo, PCOS, or Hashi’s.
We go deeper. We get answers. We look at you as a WHOLE person and not just a set of labs or a diagnosis. We get real results. Without more bandaids. Without guessing. So you feel like you’re THRIVING and not just “surviving”.
