I see clients on a one-to-one basis, as a family unit, or in a group setting. I believe that no two clients are the same and that there is no one size fits all method for nutrition counseling or education. Each session is catered to the individual's needs. I take a functional and integrative approach to how I educate and counsel. I specialize in bariatric nutrition, food intolerances, gut health, diabetes management, disease prevention, etc. I am comfortable and have worked with individuals age 4 to 94. I stand firm that ALL health conditions could be improved with nutrition. I look at the whole body and have a holistic approach.

What is a detox diet?
A detox diet is a restrictive eating program designed to eliminate perceived "toxins" from the body and promote overall health and weight loss. Typically, it involves fasting or consuming a highly specific diet, such as only drinking juices or eating limited types of foods, for a set period. Although there are various forms of detox diets, they generally aim to cleanse the body and improve wellbeing. However, it is important to note that the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of such diets and the idea of "toxin" elimination via dieting is very limited.

Are detox diets effective?
While there are some studies that suggest that detox diets can have positive health results, such as weight loss, improved insulin regulation, and reduced blood pressure, there are many other indications that detox diets are not effective in the long term. Often, the extreme nature of detox diets leads to initial weight loss, but that weight is often regained upon resumption of a regular diet. Therefore, while detox diets may provide some short-term success, longer-term sustainable lifestyle changes are usually emphasized by nutrition experts as a more effective mode of weight loss and health improvement.

Why do people go on a detox diet?
People often go on a detox diet primarily for weight loss and to eliminate perceived "toxins" from the body. Many believe that reducing these toxins can enhance overall health, support organ function, and boost immune system performance. Detox diets are also popular among those who have not achieved their health goals with other, less restrictive diets. The extreme nature of detox diets can be appealing to individuals seeking quick results or a dramatic change in their health routine.
