Today we’d like to introduce you to Heather Munnelly.
Heather, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Hi, I’m Heather. Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, detox coach, and lover of holistic living, travel, the beach, and, of course, my four-legged wing girl. My passion for nutrition + detox developed sort of by accident over the last decade. For years I struggled with my own health issues that stumped doctors of all specialties and backgrounds. I decided that if no one else could help me, I would have to take things into my own hands and find a way to heal myself. This is when I discovered the power of healing through food and eventually detoxification.
Tired of feeling sick and tired, I quit my job working as a documentary film producer and threw myself wholeheartedly into healing myself. I watched every health film, read as many books as I could get my hands on and studied all corners of the health and wellness industry. I traveled to areas of Asia known to be meccas for healing (Bali, India, etc.) so I could try different alternative healing and detox therapies. At that time, I also took a deep dive into yoga, breathwork, and the spiritual and emotional components of healing.
My understanding of environmental toxicity came a bit later, but when I began addressing my own toxicity as an underlying root cause of my health issues, I knew instantly that this was the missing puzzle piece I’d been looking for, and that the reason I’d been gifted my illness to begin with was so I could discover the path back to health and share it with others. I knew in discovering detoxification, I’d found my solution, passion, and life’s purpose all in one.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
My commitment to finding answers on my journey was costly, long and at times involved setbacks. I had to say goodbye to a job I loved and was good at because it was keeping me stressed when my body needed space to heal. I lost friends and loved ones along my journey. But I learned that if you’re committed to finding answers, you will find them, and you’ll call in people that will support you along the way.
It’s also through these challenges that passion is created – and there’s nothing more fulfilling than having a deep, visceral passion for something in your life. We earn our passions just like we earn our scars.
We’d love to hear more about your practice.
I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and Certified Detox Specialist. I help people optimize their health with diet and detoxification.
I help people discover the root cause of their low energy, gut issues, anxiety and brain fog and guide them back to health. I love working with women in their 20’s-30’s who struggle with IBS and fatigue. I help them discover imbalances and deficiencies within their own bodies that are keeping them stuck. Then we work through a process of targeted nutrient therapy and reduce their toxic load. In this environment, it is possible for the body to heal itself.
Do you recommend any apps, books or podcasts that have been helpful to you?
Oh, gosh, so many! I love all the biohacking podcasts, like Luke Storey’s “The Life Stylist,” Dave Asprey’s “Bulletproof Radio,” etc. I love reading and read a lot of books about nutrition, detox, and holistic health, as well as energy, manifestation, and travel.
