RD, LD, IFNCP · clinical herbalist

I'm Alah, a Functional Nutrition Registered Dietitian and the founder of Made with Barakah, a root-cause nutrition practice for women who feel anything but normal, no matter what their bloodwork says.

This practice was built on the belief that your body is always communicating through signs & symptoms. When we slow down and really listen, through advanced functional testing, personalized nutrition, & integrative + compassionate care, real, lasting healing becomes possible.

AREAs OF FOCUS

what you're living with.

Root-cause care for

Gut Health & Digestion

Bloating, constipation, IBS, SIBO, H. pylori, leaky gut, and chronic digestive symptoms — uncovered and addressed through GI-MAP testing and targeted nutrition protocols.

Hormone Imbalance

Estrogen dominance, low progesterone, PCOS, high cortisol, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause — mapped through DUTCH hormone testing and resolved through functional nutrition.

Sustainable Weight Loss

Weight that won't budge despite effort is almost always a metabolic or hormonal story. We address the root causes no diet plan has ever touched.

Hashimoto's & Thyroid

Autoimmune thyroid conditions require a whole-body approach — beyond TSH. We work through the gut-thyroid connection, inflammation, and nutrient repletion.

Skin & Hormonal Acne

Skin is a mirror for internal health. Hormonal acne, rosacea, and unexplained breakouts are often downstream of gut and hormone imbalances we can address.

Fatigue & Brain Fog

Persistent exhaustion and cognitive fog are never "just stress." We investigate adrenal function, micronutrient status, and the gut-brain connection to restore your clarity and energy.

Before I got treated with Alah, I was so sick, I had heavy brain fog and confusion, my arm ached really bad like it was broken, my stomach was so sensitive that if I was in a room with air freshener I would get extremely nauseous and dizzy, my period was abnormal and I would get really bad depression and mood swings way from like 2 weeks before my cycle. Also, I had extreme anxiety for no reason, all day, for 3 years. Once I started with the protocol Alah gave me, I was feeling very good in 2 weeks. By the end of the 1st month, I already felt all my symptoms disappear and went back to work!

“My reflections on our sessions, especially when we first began, is that on top of seeing physical changes in my body from following your advice, the emotional aspect of my health journey improved so much in the sense that it became very easy to be forgiving towards myself and my habits and it helped with my emotional relationship with food! It felt really good to dedicate time to my mindset and then link it to my diet.”
