Dr Lesneski lives in Tampa, FL in a 1920’s craftsman style bungalow with her senior dachshund. There, she is a member of Ye Loyal Krewe of Grace O’Malley and enjoys fundraising for charity and community involvement. Recently, she is loving learning more about fashion and capsule wardrobes! She loves to uplift and connect with women all over the country. Other hobbies include gardening, enology, and reading a good book.
Her personal functional medicine journey has included severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), candida overgrowth, food sensitivities, and leaky gut (intestinal permeability). With functional medicine approaches, the gut imbalances, food intolerances, and GERD were corrected. Conventional medicine falling short and not helping her symptoms or disease progression, has re-shaped her career to be more fulfilling and exciting than she ever imagined. She enjoys helping patients in a more meaningful and lasting way. She loves showing people what it truly means and feels like to be healthy.
