I'm Alisa Vitti, functional nutritionist and women's hormone expert.
endometriosis diet
I'm a total geek when it comes to hormonal biochemistry, functional nutrition, endocrinology, epigenetics, and neuropsychology. I've spent the past 15 years studying, researching, personally applying, and globally teaching how to stop hormonal chaos and get into hormonal flow.

I built FLO Living as a virtual online health center to help women solve their hormonal symptoms from anywhere in the world. I published a book called WomanCode, which has been in the Top 50 bestselling women's health books of all time since it was published.

I'm a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I have a web series on Lifetime, and have been a regular contributor to CBS, Fox, Shape, Women's Health, MindBodyGreen, and The Huffington Post. I also write Yahoo Health's Hormone Whisperer column.
I made history on the Dr. Oz Show by discussing one of the last taboo topics (menstruation) on national TV. I showed them how to ‘read' your menstrual blood (using mashed fruit as props) to determine if you have hormonal imbalances. You can see the video here.

I also speak to large groups about the intersection of hormones, neurochemistry, feminine energy, entrepreneurship, and success at TEDx, Talks@Google, Summit Series Outside, Hay House, WIE Symposium, and SHE Summit.

While I'm super science-minded, I'm also totally irreverent, and have been known to drop F-bombs on stage in excitement from looking at the breathtakingly genius design of a kidney. I'm also known to do rituals on the new and full moon, and wear tight, black dresses with colorful aprons in my kitchen — all with my baby girl on my hip and my Italian grandmother's olive-wood spoon in hand.

But I'm not just a sometimes-potty-mouthed, curvaceous, home-cooking, first-generation sexy mama, functional nutritionist, and hormone super-nerd— I also had a major hormonal breakdown that changed my life while I was a 20-year-old student at Johns Hopkins University. (You can learn more about that by watching my TEDx talk.)
