Functional Medicine practice focusing on the root cause of infertility and women's hormonal imbalance

The Low FODMAP diet can be life-changing for people dealing with bloating, gas, abdominal pain, or IBS-type symptoms.

It works by reducing fermentable carbohydrates that can feed gut bacteria and trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals.

It’s not designed to be long-term.

Many FODMAP foods are nutrient-dense and important for gut diversity.

Used properly, it’s a temporary strategy to calm symptoms and identify triggers.

If digestion feels unpredictable or uncomfortable, exploring this approach with support can help bring clarity.

The ketogenic diet can be helpful in specific situations like insulin resistance or certain neurological conditions.

For others, long-term keto can increase stress hormones, disrupt thyroid function, or worsen hormonal symptoms.

Functional medicine looks at whether keto fits your metabolism, stress levels, and long-term goals.

It’s not about trends.

It’s about timing and individual needs.

If you’ve tried keto or are curious whether it’s right for you, a personalized assessment can help guide that decision.

Phytonutrients are powerful compounds found in colourful plant foods that help reduce inflammation and support cellular health.

This approach focuses on variety and colour rather than restriction.

Greens, berries, herbs, spices, and deeply pigmented fruits and vegetables all play a role.

It’s about adding more nourishment into your day, not striving for perfection.

If you’re looking to support your body gently and sustainably, this way of eating is a great place to begin.

An elimination diet isn’t meant to be forever.

It’s a short-term investigative tool.

By temporarily removing common inflammatory foods, we give the gut and immune system a break. Then foods are strategically reintroduced to see what your body reacts to.

This can be incredibly helpful for digestive issues, skin concerns, joint pain, migraines, or unexplained fatigue.

Without proper reintroduction, elimination diets can turn into unnecessary restriction.

The goal is clarity, not fear around food.

If you suspect food sensitivities but don’t know where to start, guided elimination can offer real insight.

There’s no single “best” diet for everyone.

But there are dietary approaches that work very well when they’re personalized and done properly.

The common thread is whole foods, adequate protein, stable blood sugar, and nourishment over deprivation.

Problems arise when diets are followed rigidly, without context, or longer than the body actually needs them.

Functional medicine uses food as information.

A tool.

Something that can support healing when applied at the right time, for the right reason.

The most effective plan is the one that fits your biology, lifestyle, and goals.

If you’re unsure which approach actually fits you, a personalized plan can make all the difference.

Most diets don’t fail because people are “bad at discipline.”

They fail because they’re built on restriction, guilt, and short-term thinking.

When you dramatically cut calories, eliminate entire food groups, or chase quick results, your body does what it’s designed to do. It adapts. Metabolism slows, hunger hormones ramp up, and cravings get louder.
Add stress, poor sleep, hormone shifts, and real life into the mix and suddenly that plan becomes unsustainable.

In functional medicine, we look at why the body is holding onto weight or reacting the way it is. Blood sugar balance, gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and nervous system stress all play a role.

The goal isn’t willpower. It’s working with your physiology instead of fighting it.

If dieting has felt frustrating or confusing, this might be a sign your body needs a different approach.

Your gut does more than digest your food. It affects your mood, energy, hormones and immunity.

When it is out of balance, your body often shows it through bloating, fatigue, breakouts or brain fog.

A healthy gut helps you absorb nutrients, reduce inflammation and feel clearer and more energized. With naturopathic care, we look at the root of what is throwing your gut off and create a plan that helps it get back on track.

If you want to feel better from the inside out, book a consultation today.

Quality sleep affects almost every part of your health.

It supports your hormones, mood, energy, metabolism, immune system and cognitive function. #

Functional medicine can help you understand what is disrupting your sleep patterns.

We look at your lifestyle, stress, nutrition and overall health picture to create a plan that supports deeper and more restorative rest.

Stress affects far more than your mood.

It can impact your digestion, sleep, hormones, immune system and energy levels.

When stress stays high for too long, you may notice fatigue, irritability, tension, headaches, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating.

These reactions are common, but they are also signals that your body is working harder than it should.

Learning how to manage stress helps your nervous system regulate, supports better sleep, improves digestion and gives your body room to recover.

Even small shifts can make a meaningful difference in how calm, clear and grounded you feel each day.

I can help you understand what is triggering your stress response and how to support your body through it.

Together, we can create a personalized plan that focuses on lifestyle changes, nutrition, routines and natural support that fits your life.
