THE GOAL IS BALANCE
As a functional nutritionist, I support clients in helping their bodies to heal and to return to place of balance.
Hippocrates has been credited with saying “All disease begins in the gut.” I strongly agree and the most common issues I see are digestive dysfunction and blood sugar dysregulation. Once we get these back into balance, so many symptoms fall into place.
When you start working with me, I will have you fill out a detailed intake form, a three day food journal, and a very detailed symptom questionnaire. These forms are invaluable and will allow me to really hone in on which systems are out of balance and to make specific dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations. If you have blood labs from your doctor, I will analyze those to get a deeper understanding of whats going on. I may also recommend additional lab testing depending on your condition.
Consultations are virtual.

WHERE TO START
One Hour Initial Consultation
The initial consultation is a comprehensive review of your health with the aim of gaining a deep understanding of your health history and goals. We will review your intake forms, a detailed symptom questionnaire, any lab tests you have, and a three day food journal.
This hour long consult will bring a clear understanding of the root cause of your condition and what your symptoms mean. The goal of this consult is to identify where support is needed and give you the diet, lifestyle, and basic supplement recommendations. For more chronic conditions, I may recommend lab tests that will guide further recommendations and a longer healing protocol, if needed.

Four Month Foundational Protocol
If you’re dealing with low levels of chronic illness, infection, or symptoms that come and go, the foundational protocol is a great place to start to get your body back into balance.
