- Gastrointestinal Health;
- Autoimmunity;
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis;
- Neuroinflammation;
- Cognitive Decline;
- Infertility;
- Dysglycemia and Diabetes; and
- Chronic Fatigue and Pain Syndrome.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE COURSE CERTIFICATIONS
MY APPROACH
- I educate my clients about their health conditions so that they can become their own health advocates.
- I personalize any diet and lifestyle recommendations I make as each client is unique.
- I work with doctors where necessary and look at lab tests to gain a deeper understanding about the patient's history and diagnosis.
- I take my time to ask questions and have an in depth conversation with each client to understand their challenges and goals.
- I work with clients using food as medicine, personalizing their diets and lifestyle to eliminate inflammatory triggers (the root of chronic disease), and help them make mindset changes that yield real and lasting results.
With my knowledge, we co-create a completely personalized approach based on your challenges and goals and move toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle and preferences.
With each session, you will gain a deeper understanding of their health condition, how to use food as medicine, how to use targeted supplements to support your particular condition, and how to have a lifestyle and mindset that helps you improve your energy levels, lower stress levels and creates more space for the things that you value most in life.

It is unfortunate that the vast majority of people still think that the best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more – i.e. creating a calorie deficit so that you expend more calories than you take in.
While this does work in the short term, the health and diversity of microbiome plays a significant role in whether you will manage to keep off the weight or whether you will put it all back on.
