I specialize in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and complex gut issues that haven't responded to standard approaches. I work with people who are still struggling after trying low-FODMAP or elimination diets and who want to understand why their body isn't responding to move beyond restrictive diets and feel better. As a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Nutrition & Functional Medicine, I look beyond food choices to assess digestion, nutrient status, and the microbiome. This is how we find the root cause and build a plan for healing.

Holistic approach. Food First. Science Based. Using a holistic approach, I assess your diet, symptoms, history, tests to understand what your best next steps would be. We'll work on diet & lifestyle, supplements to fill in gaps, and discuss testing if that is something you want to explore. Imagine what it would be like to be free of your symptoms. Have more energy, mental clarity, normal bowel movements and feel good in your own body. Everyone is different. I use food as nourishment, cell signaling, and healing to get you back to being healthy. I don't have one set protocol for everyone. I offer personalized nutrition guidance.

How does nutrition impact skin health?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in skin health, impacting it in several ways, particularly through inflammation and the aging process. Foods high in added sugars and saturated fats can increase inflammation, contributing to conditions like acne and psoriasis. For those prone to these issues, adopting an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can be beneficial, as it helps reduce inflammation and supports skin healing. Additionally, an anti-inflammatory diet supports the repair of skin damaged by sun exposure, a significant factor in skin aging. Conversely, a poor diet can hinder the skin's natural repair processes, accelerating signs of aging.

What are the best foods for skin health?
The American Academy of Dermatology generally recommends consuming a diet that promotes overall health, as a well-balanced diet that contains whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, will be beneficial for skin health and overall well being. These foods are naturally anti-inflammatory and nutrient-rich, both of which contribute to skin health.

Can a healthy diet prevent skin issues?
A healthy diet may not be sufficient to prevent all skin issues, but it can certainly be an important component of skin health and healing for the general population. For many individuals, particularly those with food sensitivities, such as gluten or dairy intolerance, eliminating trigger foods can lead to significant improvements in skin conditions like acne or rashes. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins (such as vitamins A, C, and E), and essential fatty acids supports skin hydration and protects against environmental stressors, potentially preventing skin issues associated with aging.

Do nutrition supplements help improve skin health?
Many people take nutritional supplements for skin health, including collagen, biotin, Vitamins C and E, and selenium. While some research suggests that these supplements can support healthy skin, nutrition experts generally advise that supplements are unnecessary if these nutrients are obtained through a balanced diet. There is limited evidence to suggest that extra supplementation significantly enhances skin health unless an individual cannot meet their nutrient needs through diet alone. In such cases, targeted supplementation may be beneficial to address specific nutrient deficiencies.
