About Me

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and this is where I write things about food and teeth and other stuff that I find interesting, in the hopes that other people might also find it interesting or helpful.

A bit of background: I started this blog in college after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and it mainly functioned as an outlet for my rants and ramblings about nutrition and gut health as I navigated my rocky relationship with my colon. (We have since divorced due to irreconcilable differences.)

I ended up studying nutritional biochemistry in college, and have dabbled in just about every crazy diet you can think of in an attempt to fix my digestive woes. I still think food is extremely important, but not the only (or even the most) important thing in the quest for good health.

I hesitate to even try to characterize what this website is now, but I think a fair assessment is that it’s a haphazard documentation of my relentless self guinea-pigging, as well as somewhere I can write about topics of interest in a more organized and helpful way (when I feel like it). And I reserve the right to rant cantankerously about things that I should probably stop getting so worked up over. I also reserve the right to overuse words like ‘cantankerously.’

When I’m not sporadically shouting into the void of the internet, I like to hike with my dog, read books that are too smart for me, play piano and guitar, and fix parts of my house that probably don’t need fixing.

Hi! I’m Alyssa. I like thunderstorms and cats, hate wearing shoes, and I get really nerdy about gut bacteria. This is me in Bali with a monkey on my shoulder. And this is my blog. If you want to know more about me, click here!
