As the newly appointed treasurer of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet Association, my connection to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is deeply personal and professional. My journey with SCD began in 2017 after my son was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Opting for a holistic approach over traditional immunosuppressants, we embraced SCD (and supplemented it with strict Paleo principles—ensuring all food is organic, grass-fed, and dairy-free). My son fanatically adheres to SCD, and this regimen has kept him in continuous remission without pharmaceuticals.
I personally follow the SCD to manage my overall well-being and Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease, having made significant dietary changes prior to discovering the diet. My own health has seen substantial benefits, further solidifying my commitment to the SCD philosophy.
I have also served as a moderator for the "Breaking the Cycle SCD Community" on Facebook since 2018.
Professionally, I have been a Certified Public Accountant since the end of 1997, operating my own practice. My expertise in finance uniquely positions me to oversee the fiscal responsibilities of the association, ensuring we can expand our reach and impact. Residing in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, I am dedicated to advancing our mission locally and globally, helping families access the transformative resources of SCD. Through advocacy, education, and personal testimony, I aim to empower our community with dietary interventions that significantly improve autoimmune health.
