Work With Me

I practice Functional Nutrition.  My core philosophy centers on a holistic, personalized approach to health and healing.  I use a variety of nutrition therapies including dietary healing protocols, tailored supplements and lifestyle modification strategies in my clinical practice.

The core tenants of Function Medicine and my practice include:

1.     Patient centered care: Your individual health story is very important and mapping your health journey is one of the tools that I use to help you understand what might be important to your individual make-up.  I am here to give you the education you need to understand your health but it will be your responsibility to determine the direction you would like to go and make the necessary changes.  You steer the ship but I teach you how things work.

2.     Integrative, science-based healthcare approach:  I don’t treat symptoms but think of them as clues to the bigger issue that is plaguing you.  I am looking for the root cause of your ill health and taking into consideration your genetic make-up and environmental factors that affect chronic disease.

3.    Focus on chronic disease prevention through nutrition and lifestyle modification

What to expect when working with me:

I consider myself a coach.  For the most part, I don’t do single visits where you come, in tell me your issues, and I send you out the door with a diet prescription that will cure all your ills or make you lose weight.  Health is a journey and not a location.  How long our time together takes, depends on how much work you have done prior to coming in my door and how hard you are willing to work.  Diet and lifestyle changes aren’t easy but they are so worth it!
