habits you are in control of your health journey.

You can find me binge reading my kindle keeping up to date with the latest in health, nutrition, and functional medicine while baking sourdough bread in between client calls.
Comprehensive Functional Nutrition Assessment: An in-depth evaluation of your past medical history, dietary habits, conventional + functional labs, symptoms, sleep, stress, exercise, wearables data, medications, supplements, and health/nutrition goals.
You'll receive a personalized functional nutrition care plan that aligns with your health goals. This includes condition specific & evidence-based nutrition, diet, and lifestyle recommendations, targeted and tailored supplements based on data gathered from the initial consultation.
3 Month Package: We believe in a long-term approach to healing chronic health conditions that will help create sustainable diet and lifestyle changes for you so that you can stay healthy long term.

These goals will include additional tweaks, if needed, to the main functional nutrition care plan that are centered around your personal symptoms and long term health.
