Integrative & Functional Nutritionist

Root-Cause Gut Health Specialist

Tired of struggling with chronic symptoms?

You’ve done multiple elimination diets. You search online for anything that might bring relief. You’ve seen several practitioners but still don’t have any clear solution.

In the meantime, your body is being worn down by food restriction, stress, and uncertainty, while your original symptoms persist. You hope that something will finally work.

The reason nothing has stuck is that most approaches focus downstream — on symptoms — rather than upstream, where the real drivers begin, and the real answers reside. That’s the integrative & functional nutrition difference.

I can help. Keep reading to see how.

What Makes This Approach Different

Instead of recommending a typical elimination diet or a generic protocol, we create a tailored roadmap based on your unique needs.

We use functional lab testing, food-as-medicine, focused supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to identify and address root causes, while giving your body the tools it needs to fill vital gaps and rebuild its terrain from the foundation up.

We evaluate key fundamentals that drive real health improvement, including (but not limited to):

Digestion, absorption, motility, and elimination
Detoxification
Nervous system
Cellular energy
Nutrigenomics (looking at genetic impacts on key body functions)

This is what genuine root-cause deep dive work looks like.

Common Issues We Get to the Root Of

Conditions

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Leaky gut
H. pylori
Candida Overgrowth (SIFO)
Hypothyroid
Fatty liver
Sluggish gallbladder
Food sensitivities

Symptoms

Bloating and gas
Chronic constipation or diarrhea
Chronic inflammation
Sleep disruptions
Heartburn/acid reflux
Frequent indigestion
Early fullness
Fatigue/low energy
Tired but wired
Brain fog
Abdominal pain or cramping
Difficulty gaining weight

Whether you’ve been experiencing one or more of these concerns for years (maybe decades) or they have recently started,

you don’t have to figure this out alone.

What Chronic Symptoms Often Mean

Symptoms are often your body’s way of sending signals that it needs deeper, whole-body support. Your body isn’t divided into compartments — one for your gut, one for stress response, another for hormones, etc.

Everything is connected. These systems influence each other, which is why a whole-body approach is paramount for lasting results.

Functional lab testing livingrenedrx.com

Functional Lab Testing & Interpretation

Functional lab testing aims to assess nutritional, biochemical, or physiological imbalances. Essentially, it provides a detailed insight into some of the body's inner workings, allowing us to focus on specific areas to tailor your nutrition and lifestyle interventions for maximum health impact.

Functional Lab recommendations are based on your specific situation. Examples of tests utilized:

A comprehensive gut microbiome and digestive health analysis
Food sensitivity testing with the LEAP MRT program
Functional nutrition evaluation
Nutrigenomics: Using genetics to inform diet and lifestyle choices to maximize gene function in detoxification and critical cellular pathways.
Functional hormone testing

Supplement management for gut health livingrenewedrx.com

Recommendations are customized to meet your needs, informed by factors such as your functional lab results and comprehensive functional nutritional assessment using a root-cause lens.

Lifestyle Optimization
Guidance

Including support for lifestyle optimization in an integrative nutrition program is crucial because factors like stress, sleep, and physical activity directly influence digestive and overall health.

Lifestyle can either exacerbate or help alleviate a myriad of symptoms, impact the balance of gut bacteria, and affect how the body responds to interventions. By addressing lifestyle, we can tap into another realm of factors that can help you achieve real results to enhance gut health, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and promote overall well-being, making journey more effective and results more sustainable.
