Welcome!
I am a Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Health Coach devoted to helping you reclaim vibrant health and vitality
If you're not feeling well
Your default state is wellness. If you have undesirable symptoms, there is most likely something in your diet, lifestyle, or mindset that is causing your symptoms. Often, it's simple to address - like changing your diet or bedtime routine.
Bottom line - you are very much in control of the state of your wellness. You can feel wonderful at any age, reverse disease dynamics, and even change which genes are activated through your diet and lifestyle.
I use a Functional Medicine approach to investigate and identify the root cause of your symptoms. Based on what we find, I recommend dietary, lifestyle, and mindset strategies and support you every step of the way.
Symptoms vs Root Cause
It's common in modern health care to treat the symptom of the problem instead of the root cause. A simple example is taking a pain killer for a headache, when the headache is caused by dehydration. Together, we find the root cause of your symptom and address that. The good news is that treating the root cause usually addresses multiple issues at the same time. For example, food sensitivities can cause weight gain, as well as fatigue, skin issues, brain fog, joint pain, and more. Remove the food sensitivity, and all those symptoms improve.
Functional Medicine is about causes, not symptoms. It is getting to the root of the problem.

Root Causes
Finding the root cause takes a bit of detective work. Some examples of the common root causes I investigate include:
• What and how you eat
• Stress
• Sleep quality
• Diet quality
• Food sensitivities
• Digestive insufficiency
• Hormone imbalance
• Toxicity
• Medications
• Mindset
