Hey Ya’ll

I’m Kristi!!

Hey, I’m Kristi! I am first and foremost a mom to my two beautiful girls! They are what keeps me and my heart full.

I’m also a Substitute Teacher. I love the flexibility I get working as a Substitute. I go when I’m needed and take off whenever I want. What’s better than that?

Last but most definitely not least I am a Plexus Ambassador!! Why?
Because I love all things gut health, skincare, and fitness (physical and mental)!! I have struggled with my weight, being a alcoholic, and depression most of my life. When I reached my heaviest in 2020 at 211lbs I knew something had to change.
I committed to make the changes I needed and Plexus was there to help and changed my life.
Now I’m over
4 YEARS SOBER!

I’m happier, healthier, more confident and it is my number one goal to help you with your health, wellness and skincare needs. To be there every step of the way and offer you the support you need to be successful for the long haul!

Getting Sober

I saw a fat, lazy alcoholic.

Deciding to give up the alcohol for me was a huge decision! I didn’t just want it I NEEDED it!

I remember starting to drink at 10am and not stopping till 10pm when I was passed out. Waking up hungover, dehydrated and with no memory of what happened the day before…..I didn’t have a car so I was getting it delivered via Favor app. $50 every time. Beer, vap cartridges, and tip. I’d overdraft my account to get these items if need be. Which was honestly more than not.

I remember my 💡 moment all to well. I was hungover and reaching for the next beer and remember telling myself I wasn’t going to drink today cause I didn’t want to be hungover for my girls 1st day of school. They were starting Kinder and 2nd grade at the time. Big milestones for my babies….. How sad is that?

I was overweight, completely unhappy with who I saw when I looked in the mirror. I saw a fat, lazy, alcoholic. I didn’t want that to be what my daughters remembered and it was putting a strain on my relationship with my fiancé and my family.

I decided to give up alcohol, I turned to my Plexus supplements and began detoxing! I commited and stayed consistent!!!
It was AWFUL with massive headaches, nausea, the shakes and diarrhea 💩💩.
This lasted about 3 weeks or so and
🌈🦋🎶AHHHH🎶🦋🌈
it was almost magical how great I felt!
I started working out and the rest is history!
- IM SOBER and NO HANGOVERS!!
- I’m down 50 pounds
- I sleep better
- Less aches and pains
- My skin looks and feels better/smoother
- My receding hairline grew back
- My hormones/cycle is balanced and regular
And that’s just the tip of the Iceburg!!!

Now, I am over 4 years SOBER!!
I’m happier, healthier and love who I see now.

Meet Skylar

Achalasia Awareness

Meet Skylar! She is a fabulous young lady! She is so sweet and thoughtful all the time.
Skylar is a honors student, in Gifted and Talented program, Art lover and Squishmallow fanatic!
Skylar also battles a invisible disease. She has Type 1 Achalasia.

Achalasia is a rare disorder in which damaged nerves in your esophagus prevent it from working as it should.
In the area where your esophagus meets your stomach is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscle relaxes (opens) to allow food to go into your stomach and contracts (tightens to close) to prevent the contents from your stomach from backing up into your esophagus. If you have Achalasia, the LES muscles do not relax, making it hard for the food to pass into the stomach. Symptoms of Achalasia include swallowing difficulty (food getting "stuck"), heartburn, chest pain, weight loss, and overall
quality of life.

In 2022 Skylar started having difficulty swallowing. She dropped almost 30 pounds and was essentially starving to death and becoming so weak she couldn’t participate in activities, slept a lot, would get dizzy upon standing and was just fading away.
After many doctors appointments, a ER visit, referral to a ENT, a swallow study, referral to GI doctor, a endoscopy, a esophogram and finally a manomentry test she was diagnosed June 2023 with Achalasia.
Achalasia is very rare in children, affecting only 1 in 1 million children, that there are not any doctors or surgeons available in our area that have the knowledge or expertise.

We found a support group who guided us to Dr Kane and Dr Petrosyan at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. She received her life saving surgery here on August 30, 2023. They performed a POEM (Pre-Oral Esophageal Myotomy) which is a lot less invasive, has a lot shorter recovery and is a better option for growing children. Since then she has gained her weight back and is thriving.

I’m always raising money for her next trip to DC, or any other medical needs she may need. There is no cure for Achalasia and Skylar will battle this awful disease for the rest of her life. Anything I can do to make it easier for her I will do my best!

We also would like to eventually raise money to donate to Children’s National Hospital.
