Welcome!

Hi! I’m Lyssandra Guerra, founder of Native Palms Nutrition & Wellness.

My expertise lies at the intersection of natural medicine and cutting-edge science, where I've discovered that true healing emerges when we align with our body's innate wisdom. I view wellness as an artful practice—one that weaves together biological intelligence with the raw power of nature.

Through my journey in holistic nutrition and medicine, I've not only transformed my own wellbeing but uncovered a profound truth: our bodies are exquisitely designed healing systems. This path has sharpened my intuition, refined my relationship with food, and crystallized my understanding of personal health sovereignty.

Each person's story and body speaks its own unique language. I listen deeply to these narratives—both spoken and unspoken—creating space for your individual healing journey to unfold. By honoring your body's distinct rhythms and requirements, we craft a path that resonates with your personal truth.

What began as a personal transformation has evolved into my life's work. I now guide others in awakening their body's intelligence, crafting a lifestyle that honors both science and natural law. My approach isn't about perfection—it's about conscious choice, deep listening, and bold transformation.

Let's elevate your wellbeing beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Because optimal health isn't just about surviving—it's about accessing your full vitality, and writing your own story of transformation.

In 2007, my journey began with the challenges of chronic constipation, bloating, parasites, candida overgrowth, mood swings, trauma, stress, PMS, irregular cycles, and disordered eating. 

My symptoms began after I entered a cycle of trauma and depression, which led to unhealthy eating habits, a lack of self-love, a sense of disconnection from my body, and an overall lifestyle that failed to nurture a healthy body. This lasted for nearly a decade and marks the most challenging era of my life. I didn’t like myself and wasn’t sure if this is who I was or if there was another path for me.

In desperation of finding a happier, healthier version of myself, I fell upon self-help books and self-healing my body with nutrition, herbalism, and any other natural healing tools. Although I had moments of feeling better overall, I was still dealing with chronic constipation, bloat, acne, irregular cycles, and PMS. I decided to get formally trained in the year of 2014.

I don’t hold shame or self-judgment from my past health choices. I believe I have been meant to experience every single ailment that has caused me to suffer so deeply, so that I could have helped every frustrated and pained woman that has come into my office.
