My journey into functional medicine began with the realization that nutrition is more than just fuel—it’s a powerful tool that influences every aspect of our well-being. Through advanced testing, such as micronutrient analysis, food allergies and sensitivities, hormone panels, gene variants, and gut microbiome assessments, I help uncover imbalances and provide targeted interventions tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Having over 30 years of experience in dietary counseling has given me the knowledge to address many health related issues and set clients back on track to health and wellness.
