Gut Health Specialist

Life's stresses, challenges, and situations can significantly impact our health. You might dream of feeling better but feel unsure about where to begin. Rest assured, it's possible to rebuild your health layer by layer, in a way that's tailored just for you.

My Story

After years of seeking relief through conventional treatments, I found no real solution for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Rhinitis, or Interstitial Cystitis (IC). Despite my expertise as a dietitian, I realized that managing these conditions through diet alone was insufficient. I continued to suffer from debilitating flare-ups that incapacitated me for days. The prospect of enduring this for the rest of my life was unbearable. Determined, I sought to understand the underlying causes of my ailments and provide my body with what it truly needed to heal.

Thankfully, my answers came as I trained in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, an advanced practice, leading-edge, evidence-based, systems biology approach to health and healing that tackles the root causes of chronic conditions. I learned how to use functional lab testing to identify physiological and biochemical imbalances affecting health and studied the latest research in supplements and nutrigenomics, deepening my understanding of personalized health solutions.

This specialty training provided me with the insights and expertise necessary to effectively tackle my chronic conditions, profoundly enhancing my health, well-being, and quality of life.

More importantly, I am equipped with transformative, leading-edge tools to help you address your digestive and other chronic conditions, setting you on the path to achieving optimal health!

My Life-Change Discovery

I quickly recognized and developed a deep appreciation for the fact that integrative and functional nutrition is not only a science; it is also an art. I was thrilled to learn this art and begin my journey to renewed health.

Armed with health-empowering tools, I followed the breadcrumbs of my health history and discovered that one of the issues impacting my gut was Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and the root causes associated with SIBO.

So I peeled back the layers and addressed my imbalances, using functional labs, food as medicine, lifestyle change, and targeted practitioner-grade supplements.

With a 27-year background as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and advanced training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, my goal is to help you target and address your health challenges so you can reclaim your quality of life.
