Are you struggling with one or more life-disrupting symptoms that have been dismissed by other medical providers, despite being on one or more medications? As a DNA-Focused Nutritionist, let me help you use food as medicine, in customized, realistic steps! I add a functional nutrition approach, with herbs and supplements as needed, to discover the root cause of symptoms and develop a personalized plan that evolves with you while you optimize your health. This approach works incredibly well to lift mood, minimize medications, lose weight, increase energy, balance blood sugar and insulin levels, lower blood pressure, and sleep better.

You don’t feel like yourself anymore. Even though your labs are “normal.” You’re exhausted, foggy, bloated, sleeping poorly, or navigating perimenopause and hormone shifts that don’t make sense.
I work with midlife women who feel off in their bodies and want real clarity about what’s driving persistent fatigue, brain fog, digestive changes, and blood sugar instability. We take a foundations-first approach, focusing on digestion, metabolism, sleep, and hormone patterns before adding complexity.
Together, we build a structured, personalized plan that fits real life so you can feel steady, clear, and like yourself again.
