About Me

My name is Martina (please call me Martu). I am a molecular biosciences Ph.D. and a board certified Integrative Health Practitioner and Functional Medicine Coach. I am originally from Argentina and I now call Ohio my new home away from home. I was a high performance tennis athlete that landed in the US in ‘06 playing tennis under a full sports scholarship. My health started declining since. I got to the point I couldn't brush teeth nor cut my own food, I was in constant pain. Dreading time with my first child, I just wanted to sleep. The fatigue was overwhelming. I had inconsistent, painful bathroom schedules. And, to top it off, my tennis days were over. It was a heartbreaking mess. I have sought help from traditional doctors and specialists since 2015. I was prescribed meds that raised my liver enzymes. PCP and specialists suggested more meds, and added a diagnosis in 2016. I asked for a natural approach, but MDs warned me I would be crippled otherwise. Unwilling to risk other organs for side effects and make my health worse, I had to find another way. I researched for a liver detox. It saved my liver and returned some normalcy at the end of 2016. By 2017 I searched for a naturopathic Dr. and other holistic professionals for guidance on what to do next. They suggested I did some testing to know where and how to make changes. It was the best decision of my life. I changed my lifestyle behaviors, and I resolved my chronic issues. After 11 years of inactivity, the guidance of an expert plus cellular technology helped me return to tennis, feeling great. Now, I live a normal life. I even had a second baby, that despite a needed C-section, the overall recovery was better than with my first born. I now have regular bathroom schedules, no more surprises. And I added certifications under my belt to help others achieve their health goals, like I have, and enjoy life again.
