About Meg

What’s your current role or area of work?

• Founder of the Women's Functional Health Institute

​Who is someone you admire?

• My mother. She is one of the most naturally caring and giving people I have ever known. She has a way of always putting others first, not out of obligation, but because that's genuinely who she is. She showed me that showing up for people, really showing up, is one of the most powerful things a person can do. I carry that with me every single day in the work I do

If you could have coffee with a famous person, who would it be and why?

• Oprah Winfrey. She created a platform that gave people permission to talk about the things nobody was talking about. Health, trauma, spirituality, personal growth. She brought it all into living rooms across the world and made people feel less alone in their struggles.

What inspired you to be part of TEDxKU?

• I've spent years sharing this message through my practice, my podcast, and my coaching programs. And while that work is deeply meaningful, I've always known that the idea at the core of what I do deserves an even bigger stage to reach more people.
  The connection between our thoughts and our digestion is something most people have never heard of, but the moment they do, everything clicks. I wanted to bring that idea to a room full of people who could carry it with them, share it, and actually use it. TEDx felt like exactly the right format for that, a focused, powerful talk built around one idea worth spreading.
  When I saw that this year's theme is "Voices UniTED," it felt like a sign. Because that's exactly what this idea does, it unites something we thought were separate. Our minds and our bodies, our thoughts and our gut. TEDxKU felt like exactly the right room to say that out loud.
