Hello! My name is Annie Mabashov

I am a Functional Nutritionist with a passion for helping clients achieve their wellness goals.
I wake up everyday and cannot believe that I have a career that I love and can see clients through their health journeys.
This was not always the case for me. Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a high-powered attorney on the litigation track. I completed law school and worked in law and politics for several years. Even though I wasn’t happy, I suppressed my intuition and opted to “power through.”
When I was out on maternity leave with my son I received some news that forever changed the trajectory of my life. I found out that I had Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma that had spread to over 10 organs in my body.
I can't believe it's Cancer.
After the shock of finding out that I had cancer wore off, I knew I had no choice but to fight it with everything I had.
And fight I did. I opted for six months of different types of high-powered chemo and a variety of integrative modalities.
I was so lucky that this approach worked and I was in remission. But little did I know that my journey back to health was only beginning.
I'm Cancer-Free, but why do I feel so bad?
After completing cancer treatments, I felt worse than I had ever felt in my life. I had gained 30 pounds, my immune and gut health was terrible and I felt constantly fatigued.
I knew that I needed answers, so I consulted every doctor I could imagine. But they all kept telling me the same thing, that my blood work looked fine and that the chemo was out of my body so I should be back to normal. BUT I DID NOT FEEL BACK TO NORMAL. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and I trusted that with the right guidance and education I would eventually feel healthy again.
Discovering Functional Medicine Changed My Life
I found an amazing functional medicine practitioner to do some functional lab work and the results confirmed everything that I had been feeling. My hormones were low, my immune and gut health was weakened and I had adrenal fatigue from years of stress and toxins.
This practitioner assisted with me a supplement protocol and I took it upon myself to learn about the benefits of an anti-inflammatory nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Within a year, I felt back to my old self. I was able to do all the forms of exercise I had been too tired to do, my thinking was more clear and I had energy to play with my children. It was amazing!
A lightbulb clicked for me that this was the path I was meant to take. Becoming a functional nutritionist would combine my two passions: nutrition and functional medicine. I dove head first into the study of integrative and functional nutrition and was able to drastically change the quality of my life for the better.
Let me help you.
Today I am healthier and happier than I have ever been. I love my job as a Functional Health Practitioner and am so humbled and amazed to see my client's use functional health practices to make lost-lasting changes and improve their health.
I would be honored to work with you on your health journey and to help you meet your wellness goals.
