My journey started at the age of 15 when my dream of playing collegiate soccer was disrupted by unexpected health challenges. Overtraining and under-eating took a toll, leading to a diagnosis of gastroparesis—a surprise, since type 1 diabetes wasn’t part of my life back then.

Despite these setbacks, I pushed forward to play at the Division III level, but the struggle with my health continued, manifesting as food sensitivities and hormonal imbalances. During grad school, I was finally diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This could have felt defeating, but instead, it became a turning point that fueled my passion for health and wellness.

Realizing I wanted to help others facing similar challenges, I immersed myself in functional nutrition and holistic health. I dove deep into the science so I could understand my body from the inside out.

This knowledge, combined with my personal experiences, inspired the creation of The Pohlman Institute. Our goal is to focus on root-cause solutions (including the RCP) for blood sugar balance, embracing a holistic approach to health.

I understand firsthand the desire to live freely without being defined by health restrictions. Through our work, my team and I aim to guide you in rewriting your health story, empowering you to discover and address the underlying causes of your health challenges.
