About me:
Arielle Shipe, Holistic Nutritionist and owner of Peak Holisitcs
My passion for nutrition stems from my own health and fitness journey…
I grew up competing in snowboarding as a park and pipe athlete from 15 to 21 years old. While I retired from competing in my original sport at a young age, my athletic drive has continued to push me to new heights. From rock climbing and mountain biking to endurance challenges like 30+ mile day-hikes, my 2,500-mile thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and 8k+ feet skimo races, I am always testing the limits of what’s possible as an athlete. I’ve learned the hard way that when you challenge your body on a consistent basis you must also prioritize good quality rest and have learned to complement pushing my body to its limits with yoga and other self-care practices. From 2013 to the present, I have completed nearly 1500hrs of study as a yoga teacher with an emphasis on yoga therapeutics. For more on my specific yoga and training certifications CLICK HERE.
From the ages of 16 through my early 20s I struggled with disordered eating patterns and an unhealthy relationship with food which, ultimately, lead to a variety of different health issues. I struggled with cystic acne, painful tongue inflammation, and was eventually diagnosed with two different autoimmune conditions: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and interstitial cystitis. After meeting multiple dead ends with western medicine, I turned to a more holistic approach, using nutrition as the foundation for my healing protocol. Healing your body with food takes time but within 1.5 years I was able to completely heal my skin and tongue and put both of my autoimmune conditions into remission. And the best part of all? Along the way, I was able to completely transform my relationship with food. I’m now a certified master health coach and nutrition coach and working on completing my master’s degree in holistic nutrition. I’m excited to take what I’ve learned along my journey to empower others to take back health!
