Leticia Gonzales Biography

Leticia Gonzales S-FMCHC is a mother of 4 and married to her husband of 18 years. She has been living with Hashimoto's for 13 years, but unfortunately, she was only diagnosed seven years ago. Through the past 15+ years, Leticia has also been helping her children thrive through their medical diagnoses of Hashimoto’s, EDS Syndrome, Unspecified Anxiety, OCD, PCOS, ADHD & Dyslexia.  Rather than giving up and allowing the stress and feeling overwhelmed to take over, she learned how to live with a purpose.  She decided to dedicate her next chapter in life to helping those going through similar situations to regain their self-empowerment through Functional Medicine. Leticia is currently working towards her certification in Functional Medicine at FMCA and becoming Board Certified. Her struggles and studies towards becoming a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach have allowed her to grow and gain powerful tools to help others.  Today Leticia offers individual services to Adults, Teens & our youth. You can reach Leticia through her email at: lgonzales.fm@gmail.com. 

Leticia believes..."We are not defined by our medical diagnoses nor our current life situations. Instead, we are defined by what we do, our actions, our desire to thrive, and our desire to LIVE."
