Meet The Founder

Alexis Rude

Hi, I’m Alexis, a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and the founder of Carolina C.O.R.E. Practitioners. If you’ve been struggling with persistent symptoms, feeling dismissed by conventional medicine, or searching for real answers—you’re not alone.

I know firsthand what it’s like to feel frustrated, unheard, and stuck in a cycle of trial and error with no real solutions. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to helping women uncover the root cause of their health struggles, restore balance, and feel truly at home in their bodies again.

My path to holistic health wasn’t linear—I originally planned to work in conventional medicine. My goal was to become a Clinical Dietitian, combining the best of Western and holistic medicine to address the rise of chronic disease. While pursuing my dietetic license after obtaining my M.S. in Nutritional Science, B.S. in Exercise Science & B.A. in Psychology, I worked with high-risk patients in the ICU. That experience deepened my passion for understanding how nutrition, environment, and lifestyle shape long-term health.

"My passion has always been to support those who feel unheard, overlooked, and dismissed by conventional medicine—helping them find real answers and lasting solutions to their health struggles."

After being in the dietetics world, I realized that mainstream dietetics wasn’t aligned with my beliefs about health and healing. I took a different path—one that empowers people with the tools to heal, rather than just managing symptoms.

Now, as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Naturopathy Practitioner, Holistic Health Consultant, Certified Personal Trainer, Weight Management Specialist, and Holistic Approach to Mental Health Specialist, I specialize in:

Root-Cause Functional Nutrition – Addressing imbalances from the inside out
Hormone & Gut Health Support – Optimizing digestion, metabolism & energy levels
Science-Backed, Sustainable Wellness – No fads, just real, personalized strategies
Women’s Health & Weight Management – Helping you feel strong, confident, and fully in control of your body

If you’ve ever felt like you’re slipping through the cracks of conventional medicine, I see you. I’ve been there, and I know there’s a better way.

In addition to my work in holistic nutrition, I have a deep passion for entrepreneurship, mentorship, and business strategy. As I have built up my holistic health practice, I have also discovered a passion for entrepreneurship, and I didn’t want to leave that behind.

That’s why I will be launching Elevate-Her Mentorship—a faith-based business mentorship program helping women scale their passion projects, create impact, and grow thriving businesses.

Through Elevate-Her, I will teach business growth, content strategy, and sales—without burnout or sacrificing personal health.
