A former National USA Swimmer, Stella really began her career at age 13. Training under the top Olympic coaches and swimmers of the U.S. swim team, she competed at the Junior Olympic and National levels. However, after being diagnosed as severely anemic, her performance level quickly declined. Despite seeking medical attention, Stella’s anemia only continued to worsen – affecting her physiologically and psychologically. After a year of prescriptions for artificial hormones and numerous doctors’ evaluations, Stella’s mother sought other options. She was referred to a naturopathic physician who diagnosed Stella by evaluating specific markers in stool, blood and urine testing. Within one-month treatment by changing her diet, Stella felt remarkably better. Consequently, the decision to pursue a career in the biological sciences was inevitable.
During her first year at Chapman University, Stella took courses in Physiology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Nutrition. Stella realized that her true passion resided in the Nutritional Sciences. After graduating with a degree in Food Science, Stella opened her private practice in Corona Del Mar, California.
Stella expects her brand to be the go-to for gut health and the Paleo-Mediterranean Diet, known as “The Diet for a Lifetime” that combines evolutionary biology, nutrigenomics and ingredients found throughout the Mediterranean region.
