It might sound strange coming from a Registered Dietitian but... DIETS DON'T WORK! I have seen hundreds of people struggling with fad diets that are too restrictive and unrealistic as a long term strategy for achieving a healthy weight. What works is not dieting, but rather a new way of understanding and relating to food, and learning the tools for behaviour change.
When we work together we'll address metabolism and weight loss at a cellular level. You will learn which foods will boost your health, balance your gut, balance your hormones and help you to feel your best.

Unfortunately, many nutritional and digestive conditions are difficult to catch because the symptoms are scattered and varied. For example, someone suffering from chronic fatigue, restless sleep and strong sugar cravings, might not relate these symptoms to a fungal infection in the gut.
​
That is why sometimes testing can shine a light on conditions whose explanation has evaded diagnosis. A functional nutrition lab test is the fastest and safest way to stop guessing what the problem is and start the proper treatment by addressing the ROOT CAUSE of the symptoms.
​
Here are a few of the conditions that we can test for:
-
GI Map Test
-
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Test
-
Food Allergy
-
Leaky Gut Panel
-
Adrenal Function
​
Test, don't guess! Get in touch with me if you have any questions.

After years of professional practice, I have learned which are the health issues that affect most of the population. That's why I designed a series of programs with the most effective step by step strategies to achieve a particular health goal. Of course, as each person is different, my programs are tailored to each individual person.

Throughout time, food and nutrition therapies have been used due to their medicinal properties as well as being responsible for many personal aliments. Nutrition Therapy (NT) is an evidence-based medical approach to treating chronic conditions through the use of an individually-tailored nutrition plan. This kind of nutrition therapy is often recommended by a physician and administered by an Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) to help treat an specific medical condition. NT is a key component for the treatment of metabolic conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, etc. but it can also help to manage and reverse a wide range of conditions.
​
Nutrition Therapy is effective, affordable and backed with hard evidence. I work with your doctor recommended diet and create personalized plans that meet your specific dietary needs or restrictions to move you towards wellness and reduce your need for medication.
I will monitor and evaluate your progress, review lab tests, medication or health changes, to ensure your goals are being met and your health is optimized.
