She develops and individualizes plans that are realistic and sustainable. She provides personalized evidence based nutrition education and plans that reflect the individual's genetics, symptoms, current medications, food and lifestyle preferences. With a "food first" approach, she tailors the diet to maximize nutrient rich foods, creative recipe ideas and food products to fit into a person's lifestyle while supporting a functional nutrition and lifestyle plan. The body has the ability to regenerate and heal with the nutrient and lifestyle support. It's time to feel better!

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

I work with you "connect the dots" of poor health to help turn illness into wellness. We will work with your history, review medications and supplements. I give you a functional report of conventional labs which will help you understand what each biomarker mean on lab tests and how it relates to your present health and future risks. I also overlay genetic interpretation of 23and Me testing to create a personalized food and supplement plan. I work with you to develop a personalized meal plan with ideas for recipes, food products and menus. I will be your wellness partner and advocate.
