Functional Nutrition & Integrative Wellness Care
Preventative, root-cause support for women, athletes, and active professionals.
Your body is always communicating. Through functional nutrition, physiology, and nervous-system-aware care, we look beneath symptoms to understand why you’re feeling tired, inflamed, stressed, or out of rhythm.
This work blends metabolic science, hormone balance, movement strategy, and stress recovery to help you prevent burnout, improve body composition, restore energy, and support long-term vitality.
I create sustainable, personalized systems so you can feel strong, clear, energized, not just today, but for years to come.
How Functional Nutrition Works:
1. Schedule a Guide Call
A short conversation to understand your goals, explore what you’re experiencing, and determine the best pathway: preventative care, metabolic optimization, women’s hormone support, athletic performance, or stress recovery.
2. Complete Intake & Labs
You’ll complete a comprehensive intake, and when appropriate, we’ll order targeted labs (metabolic markers, hormone panels, blood chemistry, gut tests, stress physiology markers) to understand your deeper biology.
3. Functional Assessment
We review your entire picture: Energy + fatigue patterns. Menstrual health & hormonal signals, Metabolism, digestion, and inflammation, Stress load & nervous system patterns, Movement, sleep, and lifestyle rhythms. This becomes your personalized roadmap.
4. Personalized Protocol
A clear plan covering: Nutrition & macro balance, Metabolic and hormone support, Movement & recovery strategy, Nervous-system regulation tools, Supplement guidance, Lifestyle recommendations. Tailored to your life phase (pre/peri/postmenopause), performance level, or chronic stress patterns.
5. Coaching & Integration
Follow-ups to help refine habits, monitor body composition, review trends, support stress recovery, and adjust your plan as your body adapts.
6. Long-Term Prevention & Vitality
We shift into maintenance and proactive care keeping you strong, balanced, and supported through every season of life.

Advanced Diagnostics for
Precision-Based Nutrition
When appropriate, we can incorporate targeted functional testing to better understand the root contributors to your symptoms: gut health, hormones, genetics, and metabolic function.
These tools are used selectively, based on your history and goals, and are always paired with clear, practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Testing is optional and not required to begin care.
À La Carte Functional Testing
-
COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC BLOOD WORK
Standard and advanced markers to understand metabolic and inflammatory load.
As part of your care, we may order or review blood work that can include:Iron status: ferritin and related markers
Glucose regulation: fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c
Lipid profile: cholesterol, triglycerides, sub-fractions when available
Methylation & cardiovascular markers: homocysteine, B12/folate status
Inflammatory markers: hs-CRP and others as indicated
These labs help us assess metabolic flexibility, nutrient status, energy production, and systemic inflammation, so your plan is grounded in objective data, not guesswork.
-
GI MAP® + ZONULIN GUT HEALTH
Stool testing for microbiome balance, digestion, and intestinal permeability.
The GI-MAP is a DNA-based stool test that evaluates:
Gut microbiome composition
Pathogens (bacteria, parasites, yeast)
Digestive and inflammatory markers
Immune activity in the gutThe Zonulin add-on provides insight into intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), which may contribute to chronic inflammation, food reactions, skin issues, and autoimmune conditions.
Results help guide targeted nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to restore gut integrity and function. -
DUTCH® URINE HORMONE TEST
Detailed view of sex hormones, cortisol, and adrenal function.
The DUTCH urine panels provide an advanced assessment of:
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and their metabolites
Cortisol production and daily rhythm
Adrenal output and stress response over 24 hours
This type of testing can be especially helpful in cases of fatigue, sleep issues, PMS/PMDD, perimenopause symptoms, weight changes, and stress-related dysregulation.Data is translated into a practical plan to support hormone balance through nutrition, nervous system regulation, movement, and, when appropriate, collaboration with your prescribing provider.
-
3X4 GENETICS® BLUEPRINT
Lifestyle and nutrition guided by your unique genetic blueprint.
This cheek-swab test analyzes key genes related to metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, cardiovascular risk, exercise response, cognition, and more.
Rather than diagnosing disease, it helps us understand how your body is wired to function so we can tailor your nutrition, movement, recovery, and supplement strategies for long-term performance and prevention.
