About Me

Hi and welcome to Simple Clean Wellness.

I’m Yulissa (Ju- Lee- Sa- the Y is pronounced like a J). I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach and Holistic Nutritionist, AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners). I also have a BBA in Business Management.

My life was completely different several years ago. I was the stereotypical Type A personality working as an Advertising Sales Professional in broadcast media. I was working long hours in a high stress environment, eating poorly in between meetings all day long while simultaneously balancing my personal relationships. Wellness was not my priority. 

I experienced a decline in my health while I was in college. My stress levels would spike up, and my health weakened, but I never saw the connection between the two. Nor did I pay attention to the red flags to help fix it.

Several years later, my health started to rapidly decline and I fell extremely ill for a 6-month period. None of the doctors at all of the hospitals that I was admitted to could figure out what I had. I had a mystery illness that puzzled doctors. During that time period, my illness started crippling me. I spent most of my days from a bed to a wheelchair, not being able to walk, and dependent on others for help. 

Finally, after seeing multiple doctors, my rheumatologist with hesitation, prescribed me Prednisone temporarily. My rheumatologist explained the dangerous side effects on being on Prednisone for too long, but he knew it would help me walk again. As soon as my rheumatologist saw positive results, he started to wean me off this prescription drug as it served its purpose and allowed me to be able to walk again.

I sought a naturopathic doctor to explore safer options so that I can walk without relying on Prednisone or any future prescription medications. My naturopathic doctor had me follow his program, which consisted of changing my diet and resting in order to nurse myself back into good health without relying on medications. He taught me that food is your medicine. After I stopped seeing my naturopathic doctor, I continued my journey using food as my medicine along with other methods that I learned along my wellness journey.

Shortly after, I was nursed to health and returned to my normal life. Today I am living a relatively healthy life without relying on any prescription drugs. Very rarely, do I have flare-ups that can be triggered with stress or food allergies (i.e. consuming nightshades etc.), which I am now aware to stay away from.

I wanted to share my journey and teach others on how to live a simple, clean, well lifestyle.
