A Balanced Approach to Clinical Nutrition
Nutrition is a powerful tool for healing. Unfortunately, nutrition advice often comes wrapped in hype and misinformation. This can leave us feeling frustrated and confused about what to eat.
The confusion and hype stops here!
The confusion and hype stops here!
There is no one "right diet," or best way of eating. There isn't a diet that works well for everyone, nor should there be. Human beings can thrive on a wide range of diets, and many different nourishing foods. The sooner we can stop the diet wars, the sooner we can use food and nourishment for true healing. I don't ascribe to any one diet for my clients, instead I offer personalized nutrition that honors your unique body, circumstances and health challenges.
A Comprehensive Approach
I believe nutrition to be one of the most powerful tools for health and healing. I have studied nutrition every which way, earning my Master's Degree and two specialized nutrition credentials (CNS & NTP). I have used nutrition to recover my own health after years of chronic GI issues and relentless fatigue. I know how powerful a tool it can be. I also understand its limitations. That's why I incorporate functional lab assessments, clinical tools, and a comprehensive health history into your care. Your body has an incredible capacity to heal and be well, but something is standing in the way. Let's unravel the mystery behind your symptoms to get at the roots of why you aren't feeling your best.
Digestive Wellness
Resolve those nagging digestive issues and heal your gut for good!
Here are a few common complaints that I hear from clients.
- "I get really gassy after I eat, it's embarrassing and uncomfortable!"
- "By the end of the day my belly has grown 3 sizes and I can't button my pants!
- "My bowel movements are just weird. Sometimes I'm constipated and other times I'm running to the bathroom. It's awful!"
- "When I eat, it feels like the food just sits there.....for forever. I'm worried it's not being digested."
- "I feel better if I don't eat at all."
- "I feel hungry all the time, but I'm never full or satisfied!"
- "I've cut out gluten and dairy and sugar, and...( fill in the blank food), but it hasn't really helped!"
- "I'm eating loads of vegetables every day, but I'm still constipated, why?"
- "I have to bring my own food wherever I go. I'm afraid to eat out at restaurants or friend's houses because I react to so many foods."

Have you been playing Dr. Google, searching for answers about your gut health? I know how frustrating and exhausting it can be when you're trying to find answers and get the help that you need, especially when you don't fit the mold or your symptoms aren't taken seriously. Gut problems like gas, bloating, and weird bowel movements may be common, but they aren't normal, and we don't have to accept them as so.

Immune Health
Get to the roots of autoimmune disease and feel better fast!

Everyday I work with clients to resolve health issues rooted in immune health. They are more common than you might think.. For my clients, this looks like joint pain, food sensitivities, stubborn belly fat, allergies, weird skin rashes, autoimmune disease, or chronic aches and pains. There are many reasons why someone's immune system might be "misbehaving." Many of them go unseen.
|
That's why it's best to have someone on your team who can bring those unseen immune challenges to light, and give you the tools to solve them. I can help you get back your energy, decrease autoimmunity, and reduce your aches and pains by getting at the roots of chronic immune issues.

Vibrant Energy!
What is at the root of your dragging energy and poor mood?
One of the most common complaints I hear from people is how they wish they had more energy. Many are relying on caffeine and sugar to get through the day Others are struggling with deep, exhausting fatigue that goes beyond the help of sugar & caffeine. Whether your fatigue comes & goes, or is your constant companion, we can get to the bottom of it. The causes of fatigue can vary from person to person, but I do see some common threads.
Is your fatigue rooted in...
Is your fatigue rooted in...
- poor gut health
- unseen immune challenges/hidden inflammation
- environmental toxicity
- blood sugar imbalances
- insulin resistance
- nutrient deficiencies/imbalances
- food sensitivities
Has it been waaaay too long since you felt good?
That was me, at age 25. Tired all the time (despite plenty of sleep). Tired of dealing with daily digestive issues. Tired of nursing weird aches and pains. Tired of catching every single cold, flu or sniffle that came my way. And tired of perplexed doctors shrugging their shoulders at me and sending me out the door.
I did a lot of internet searches and self-experimentation in those days, but nothing seemed to help. It wasn't until I found a doctor who listened, and who specialized in Functional Medicine, that I finally got the help that I needed.
I learned that underneath my belly aches, bloating and constipation were several gut infections, an un-diagnosed autoimmune condition and a wrecked digestive system. The inflammation and nutrient deficiencies that accompanied them were why I was so sick, tired and achy. It was no wonder I wasn't feeling well, what a mess! It was eye-opening and overwhelming at first, but also validated how terrible I was feeling. I was in awe at just how hard my body was working on my behalf. My body wasn't the enemy after all! It had been fighting for me all along.
As I worked to address the gut infections and improve my digestion, my gut began to heal. As I healed my gut and nourished my body, the inflammation calmed. As my doctor and I treated the infections and cleaned up my environment, my energy returned. I started to feel well again!
This experience sparked an insatiable curiosity and enthusiasm for me. I was so inspired that I changed careers and went back to school so that I could help others.
There may be a part of my story that strikes a chord with you. Perhaps you've been struggling with fatigue and can't figure out why. Perhaps your gut's been complaining, but you don't know what's wrong. Maybe you're struggling with aches and pains or always getting sick, and you're tired of it.
If any of this sounds like you then I'd love to help. Book a FREE 30 minute consultation.
Your body wants to be well, and it knows how. I wholeheartedly believe this! My personal experience taught me to never lose hope. My formal education and clinical training gave me the tools to help solve the puzzle for you. Our work together will uncover what is standing in your way and show you how to resolve it.
