Get answers to common questions about functional nutrition, faith-based wellness, and how we can work together on your healing journey.
Functional nutrition looks at the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. While traditional nutrition focuses on calories and basic nutrients, functional nutrition examines how foods affect your unique biochemistry, gut health, hormone balance, and overall wellness. We consider your individual needs, genetic factors, lifestyle, and health history to create a personalized approach to healing.
I believe our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, with an incredible capacity for healing and restoration. My faith-centered approach honors biblical principles of stewardship, rest, and nourishment while using evidence-based functional nutrition strategies. We pray together, incorporate scriptures that speak to healing, and view your wellness journey as part of God's good plan for your life.
Lab testing can be incredibly helpful but isn't always necessary to get started. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms, health history, and goals to determine if functional lab work would benefit your healing journey. I can recommend specific tests or work with labs your doctor has already ordered. Many clients see significant improvements through nutrition and lifestyle changes alone.
I work with a wide range of health challenges including digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, mood concerns, skin problems, and metabolic dysfunction. My approach is particularly effective for women experiencing hormonal shifts, families dealing with picky eating or digestive issues in children, and anyone seeking a gentler, more holistic approach to wellness.
Every person's healing journey is unique, but many clients begin noticing improvements within 2-4 weeks of implementing their personalized protocol. Some changes, like improved energy or better digestion, may happen quickly, while deeper healing of chronic issues typically takes 3-6 months or longer. I'm committed to supporting you for as long as your healing journey requires.
Absolutely! I love working with families. I help families address picky eating, digestive issues in children, behavioral concerns related to nutrition, and creating healthy family food rhythms. My approach is gentle, practical, and designed to work with your family's unique dynamics and preferences.
Our initial discovery call is a free 30-minute conversation where we'll discuss your health concerns, goals, and determine if we're a good fit to work together. If we decide to move forward, your comprehensive assessment will include a detailed health history review, symptom analysis, lifestyle evaluation, and discussion of your faith and values. Together, we'll create a personalized protocol that feels sustainable and aligned with your life.
I do not work directly with health insurance, allowing us to create a fully personalized plan without the limitations of coverage. Think of it as an investment in your long‑term health—one that puts you in control of your wellness journey.
While registered dietitians provide valuable nutrition education, functional nutrition takes a deeper, more personalized approach. As a registered nurse with functional nutrition training, I combine clinical knowledge with root-cause investigation. I look at how foods affect your individual biochemistry, consider factors like gut health and nutrient absorption, and address the interconnections between nutrition, lifestyle, and overall wellness.
I hear this from many clients, and I want you to know there's still hope. Often, previous approaches haven't addressed the root causes or considered your unique biochemical needs. My systematic approach looks at factors that are commonly overlooked - gut health, nutrient deficiencies, environmental factors, stress, and spiritual/emotional wellness. Many clients who felt hopeless have found answers and healing through functional nutrition.

As a functional nutrition counselor, my services are typically not covered by insurance. However, many clients use HSA or FSA funds for consultations and recommended supplements. I believe investing in root-cause healing is one of the most valuable investments you can make for your long-term health and quality of life. I offer various package options to make my services accessible.
