About Aging with Abbytude

My name is Abby and I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband. I grew up in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, where my wellness journey began. I'm passionate about sharing my experiences with anyone who’s interested, so you can fast-track your own journey without repeating the expensive and time-consuming mistakes I made. My goal is to help you focus on the things that make the biggest impact on your health.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to massage therapy as a child—before I even hit double digits! This early exposure inspired me to graduate from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, NY, in 2004. I also delved into herbalism with an immersive apprenticeship at Heartstone Herbal School. While massage has been incredibly fulfilling, I started to worry about the physical demands of the profession early on—I wasn’t even old enough to drink when I got my license! To diversify my skills, I graduated top of my class from the Health Sciences Radiology program at ACC in 2017 and worked as a radiographer in both hospital and clinical settings. However, the burnout from the healthcare system, especially during COVID, led me to rethink my path.

I firmly believe in the wisdom of the body—you are the ultimate authority on your health. Symptoms should never be dismissed just because your blood work is "normal." Normal isn’t the same as common, and a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, even if there are foundational practices that benefit everyone.

Through my own health journey, I discovered a pituitary disorder and a food allergy that had previously gone unnoticed. I began researching optimal blood lab ranges, over-the-counter supplements, and ways to reduce toxins while supporting my body’s natural detox processes. As I uncovered the profit-driven priorities of the standard medical system, I started sharing my insights with friends and family. I’ve guided others in saving their gallbladders and utilizing financial programs to save thousands of dollars on emergency room visits, getting the tests they need from primary care doctors without specialists, and successfully navigating elimination diets to resolve issues like headaches, brain fog, and bloating.

My mission is to empower you to take charge of your health, trust your body’s signals, and find what works best for you.
