I’m Brittany Ford Most days, you’ll find me relishing in my favorite hot mixture (currently decaffeinated coffee infused with goat butter, mushroom powder, and collagen) as I educate myself on a multitude of health-related subjects right from the coziness of my own home.  //.  My passion lies in the realm of nature and its impact on our well-being. With a focus on biohacking, functional medicine, nutrient-rich foods, and healthy lifestyle habits, I aim to educate and help others about the benefits of these practices.

I’ve been on a profound health journey Throughout my health journey of more than 14 years, I have overcome challenges such as Leaky Gut Syndrome, Candida, parasites, dysbiosis and PCOS with irregular cycles and cysts. Through extensive research and personal experiences, I’m now driven to support individuals who are encountering similar difficulties.

And now I help others who are struggling too With a deep-rooted passion for health and wellness, my purpose is to support others in optimizing their well-being. I currently work with patients, share valuable content on social media, and host my podcast. I’m also creating a preconception course, Baby Steps, coming February 2024.  https://biohackingbrittany.com/pages/about
