Nutrition & Medicine

Hi. I’m Angie Esthers. I’m a medical student and a dietitian on a mission to make evidence-based health information accessible, practical, and empowering. I combine clinical training with nutrition expertise to help people understand why their bodies respond the way they do and how to make sustainable changes that improve symptoms, energy, and overall health.

My background

Before medical school I worked in prenatal care, addiction medicine, and at a supplement company. Those roles taught me how deeply nutrition, lifestyle, and environment influence health, and how powerful practical education can be. Today I’m training to become a family medicine physician and plan to practice functional medicine alongside conventional care so I can treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

Who I serve

I’m especially passionate about helping people in underserved communities who often face barriers to reliable health education and quality care. Whether you’re struggling with chronic gut symptoms, trying to improve heart health, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice about supplements and diet, I want to meet you where you are and make health information approachable and useful.

What I do here

This blog is a hub for evidence-based, compassionate health education. On this site you’ll find:

• Biweekly blog posts covering a wide range of topics: IBS & gut health, heart health, practical diet advice, supplements, lifestyle medicine, medical school life, and more.
• Free eBook guides and downloadable worksheets (like IBS food journals) to help you take action.
• IBS-friendly recipes and simple meal ideas that support symptom management without sacrificing flavor.
• Occasional affiliate recommendations for products I genuinely use and trust, I always disclose affiliate links and only recommend items I believe in.
• Future offerings: one-on-one consultations, group workshops, and clinically informed courses (launching as my training and schedule allow).

My approach

I believe health care should be educational, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I use an evidence-based, patient-centered approach that blends conventional medicine with functional principles: find the root causes, use the least invasive interventions first, and empower patients through knowledge. Education is central to everything I do, when people understand their bodies and the “why” behind recommendations, they make better choices and see better outcomes.

Why I write

I create content because I’ve seen how life-changing clear, practical guidance can be. I’m here to simplify confusing medical and nutrition information, debunk myths, and give you tools you can use right away. My goal is to help you feel more confident making decisions about your health, whether that means managing IBS, improving heart health, choosing supplements wisely, or navigating medical care.

Support & community

Much of my content is free because I believe good information should be accessible. If you find this site helpful and want to support the work, you can donate to help me keep producing free guides and posts while I complete medical school. I also offer paid eBooks and resources for deeper, step-by-step guidance, each designed to be practical, actionable, and based on the best available evidence.

Let’s connect

I love hearing from readers, questions, topic suggestions, or collaboration ideas are always welcome. You can contact me via the contact page, follow my latest posts, or join my email list for exclusive guides and updates.

Thanks for being here. Let’s learn, heal, and grow together.
