About Me
I'm Cassidy McQuaid, a certified Integrative Health Practitioner, and I'm here to guide you on your journey towards optimal well-being.
For the majority of my life, I grappled with my own health challenges—impossible to lose fat around my waist, consistent sleep disturbances, hair thinning, constant bloating/constipation/gas, crippling fatigue, memory issues, irritability and mood swings, excruciating periods, adult acne, mid-cycle spotting—the list goes on.
Through what seemed like endless trial and error and working with various doctors who all told me I was heathy, I was at the point of feeling hopeless. I was at the edge of accepting defeat, that this was perhaps just my genetics and would be a life sentence. I was doing all the right things (or so I thought); lifting heavy 6-7 days/week, doing a ton of cardio, eating fruit-heavy smoothies for breakfast and a salad for lunch daily; frustrated couldn't even begin to explain my feelings. I'm so grateful that I wouldn't accept defeat, because these detriments were also my catalyst for transformation and thirst for knowledge.
It wasn't until I discovered Functional Medicine Lab testing that I was able to uncover the root cause of my problems. I had severe hormone imbalances, pretty extreme gut issues, and my thyroid levels weren't optimal. Through this realization of the root cause of my symptoms, I was able to work a customized plan to heal the ailments that were specific to me, rather than a cookie-cutter plan.
Through my quest for knowledge and healing, I came to the understanding that hormone imbalances, gut health, and mental health were not separate entities at all. These three pillars of my health struggles weren't separate at all, but intricately interconnected. Nourishing only one of these would result in endless setbacks. It wasn't until I looked at those three pillars as parts of one whole that I began to heal.
This revelation ignited a deep-seated passion within me—an unshakable desire to share the life-changing insights I'd uncovered with other women who, like me, felt trapped by their own health challenges.
Today, I am more than just a health practitioner; I am a compassionate advocate, a dedicated mentor, and a source of unwavering support for women seeking to regain control of their lives. My mission is clear: to empower you, to equip you with the tools you need to restore balance to your hormones, reclaim your gut health, and find solace in your mental well-being.
I believe in holistic healing, where the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit forms the foundation of true wellness. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey—one that respects your unique needs, honors your struggles, and celebrates your triumphs.
Let's work together to rewrite your story, just as I rewrote mine. You're not alone, and your journey towards wellness starts right here, RIGHT NOW! With unwavering dedication, I invite you to take the first step towards reclaiming your life.
Welcome to the path of transformation to LIVE LIFE HORMONIOUSLY!
