Nutrition Counseling
Often we receive good advice that we are unable to follow.
Our doctor might recommend a lifestyle change or tell us to lose weight and then we are left on our own to figure out how to do it. Or perhaps we know we should eat better and exercise more, but we just can’t seem to figure out how to fit it into our busy lives.
Or perhaps we’ve been struggling with health issues (like brain fog, chronic headaches, consistent GI issues, fatigue, or stubborn skin problems) and want to finally resolve them.
Here’s where I can help.
Through working with me, I will explore concerns specific to you and discover the tools you need for healing and a lifetime of balance. Through symptom assessment, a nutrition physical examination, lab work analysis, and evaluation of diet and lifestyle, I can identify areas to support nutritional imbalances and insufficiencies.
I customize each protocol to include dietary changes, supplements (if needed) to support digestion and nutrient deficiencies, as well as recommended lifestyle changes.
I go at your pace and honor your preferences. While I provide guidance and recommendations based on the scientific literature and clinical experience, each client is different and what works for one may not work for another. Your protocol is personalized to help you tap into your own healing capabilities.
I take an integrative, functional approach to healing through food and lifestyle. I counsel on a variety of health issues including the following:
- Autoimmune Conditions (in particular Hashimoto’s and Celiac)
- High Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease
- Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes
- Digestive Issues (such as IBS, SIBO, Celiac, food allergies/sensitivities)
- Thyroid Dysfunction
- PCOS
- Fatty Liver Disease
- Weight Control
-
Adrenal Dysfunction and Cortisol Dysregulation
-
Brain Fog and Fatigue
As your partner, I believe in your innate ability to heal. I will help you understand the basics of nutrition and how you can use food to support your body. I will work with you to reach your health goals in areas such as healing your gut, achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, managing stress and anxiety, eliminating brain fog, and maximizing energy.

Find out once and for all if you have a gluten sensitivity. The Wheat Zoomer by Vibrant Wellness shows if you have elevated antibodies to wheat peptides – including gluten and non-gluten components, as well as antibodies that indicate the presence of intestinal permeability (or leaky gut), and gluten-related autoimmunity and disorders.
They use unique technology which results in enhanced sensitivity and specificity compared to other platforms.
The Wheat Zoomer has been validated at 99% specificity and sensitivity.
This package includes:
- Wheat Zoomer Antibody Test (you can take your test to a lab to do the blood draw)
- Comprehensive 16-page analysis report
