About Paul
Before founding Petronella Functional Health, Paul was deeply involved in Houston’s food and beverage scene as the owner of Paulie’s Restaurant and Camerata Wine Bar. The demanding restaurant business took a toll on his health, leading to chronic stress, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalance, and hormonal chaos, including debilitating migraines.
Discovering functional medicine changed everything for Paul. He embraced personalized lab testing, nutrition, movement, stress management, and detoxification to transform his health. Inspired by this transformation, he became certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner to help others, especially entrepreneurs and those feeling exhausted or burned out, regain their energy, clarity, and vitality.
