Achieve Successful Weight Loss
Balanced Hormones, Healthy Metabolism
Healthy Digestion
Healthy digestion means we are absorbing nutrients well and giving our body what it needs for a healthy metabolism.
Metabolic Health
A healthy metabolism depends on our body's ability to efficiently burn energy.
Balanced Hormones
Imbalances in hormones like thyroid, estrogen, and insulin can lead to unexplained weight gain.
What is the Key to Successful Weight Loss?
Our metabolism depends on balanced hormones including thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol run efficiently. If our hormones get out of balance, our metabolism with slow down leading to unexplained weight gain.
How our bodies burn the energy that we get from food is our metabolism.
If our metabolism gets out of balance, then our bodies are not burning the calories from our food.
This leads to high blood sugar, high cholesterol, triglycerides, and for some fatty liver disease. And, unexplained weight gain or stubborn weight loss. You have to addresses the imbalances to lose weight.

Weight Loss Solutions
Your weight loss solutions begin with determining your metabolic and hormonal imbalances. From there we work together to addresses these imbalances with nutritional and lifestyle changes. What works for some may not work for you. These is where functional nutrition comes in – developing a plan that works for you.
Nutrition Evaluation
After years of yo-yo dieting or fad diets like ketogenic, your nutritional status is impacted. Your nutrition evaluation zeros in those imbalances and addresses those. Using common blood work as well nutrient values, begins your healing journey.
Metabolic Lab Test
The key to determining why you have metabolic imbalances is to test for metabolic lab values like blood sugar, liver function, and nutrient levels. My panels goes beyond what you doctor tests for and dive a little deeper under the hood.
Hormone Test
In order to rebalance your hormones, I use hormone testing which is a simple at-home test. With hormone testing, we can finally get down to those imbalances and address them with nutrition and dietary supplementation. Also, included is an evaluation of your risk for breast cancer.
Detoxification
Often I recommend an easy to follow and supportive detox food plan for two weeks. This is address digestive issues and “kick start” your metabolism. This is a period where I highly recommend destressing and taking time for yourself.

How Does it Work?
Get Your Health Assessment
After you register and complete my questionnaires, you will be contacted for your complimentary consult. During this consult, I go over the integrative testing, and what you need to get started for me to complete your nutritional and metabolic evaluation.
How Does Lab Testing Work
Your hormone test is a urine and blood spot test. This is a simple at-home test with your sample just mailed back to the lab. Your metabolic blood test will be conducted with blood draw. You will be given your lab requisition and where you will have to have blood drawn. In some states, you will be sent a kit and given instructions on where to have your blood drawn.
Metabolic & Hormone Evaluation
Once you completed all of your questionnaires going over your health history and profile, your test results, I will contact you for your evaluation. Test results usually are in within 2 weeks or less.
With your evaluation, you will be given a comprehensive food plan and guidance to get you started. In some cases, I may recommend you continue on a 4 month that includes coaching and bi-weekly support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are consulting in office only? Do you do virtual consulting?
My practice is currently a virtual practice where I use video/phone consults only. So you can sit back on your comfy couch and begin your transformation.
Do you take insurance?
At this point I do not take insurance and that is for two reasons. Most insurance companies do not cover nutrition consulting. The second reason is this allows me to make the best recommendation for you rather the insurance dicating those decisions as often seen with conventional healthcare.
Do you offer weight loss programs?
I have extensive experience with weight loss clients and over that time have learned that stubborn weight loss is really a symptom of hormonal imbalances. Both of my weight loss programs work with balancing your hormones and improving metabolic health leading to permanent weight loss. Please see my Metabolic Health page for more details.

Yes, I do. Group consulting offers a great support system and helps to reduce costs. Since most of my programs are highly individualized, I generally do a one on one to start with and have clients meets in groups after that.

Yes, I do! I now offer genomic panels through MaxGen and Nutrition Genomics. I also offer evaluation of other testing including 23and Me.
