🤓 Functional Med Dietitian I am a functional nutrition dietitian, focusing on the body as a whole instead of individual parts or symptoms. I have experience helping patients with IBS/IBD, fibromyalgia, weight loss, chronic migraines, and food sensitivities. Together, we'll work through nutrition-related challenges, and create a custom whole foods-based nutrition plan aimed to reduce inflammation and support the body's innate ability to heal. I am excited to share my experience with you in hopes it will empower your journey to optimal wellness.

When it comes to cleaner grocery swaps, not all foods carry equal weight. 🛒

Start with protein — it’s where quality differences have the biggest impact:
• Nitrate/nitrite-free processed meats
• Pasture-raised eggs & poultry (ideally corn/soy-free)
• 100% grass-fed & finished beef

Small upgrades in these categories add up over time — and they’re often easier to prioritize than overhauling your whole grocery cart at once.

✨ Save this for your next grocery run! ✨

Found out you have the MTHFR gene?
Here’s where to begin.

🚫 Remove synthetic folic acid
🥬 Increase natural folate from leafy greens
💊 Choose appropriate supplement forms when needed

Simple. Strategic. Foundational.

Remember — MTHFR isn’t a life sentence.
It’s information that helps us personalize your care.

Not sure what gene variations you carry? 🧐
Functional lab testing can give clarity and direction.

If you’re ready for answers instead of guessing, schedule a new client consult to explore testing + build a plan tailored to you. 🧬 Save this for your next supplement label check!

Microplastics in our blood, in our food, in our water… oh my. 😳

I’ve been loving Detoxify by — such a practical, empowering read on how everyday toxin exposures (including microplastics) may impact immune health… and what we can actually do about it. 📘✨

A few simple swaps I’m taking to heart:
💧 glass or stainless steel water bottles
🥦 more whole foods, less packaging
🔥 no heating food in plastic
🥣 glass storage containers
🍳 stainless steel or cast iron cookware
🧖‍♀️ sauna 3–4x/week

Small shifts. Long-term impact.

If you’re getting labs done soon, save this 👇

These are some of the most helpful hormone markers to consider when symptoms don’t match your results. Too often I see partial panels that miss key information — especially when it comes to thyroid and metabolic health.

This checklist is meant to help you:
• Feel more prepared for lab work
• Know what questions to ask
• Understand why certain markers matter!

For a deeper explanation of what each lab means and how to interpret them, I break it all down in this month’s blog.

Hormone labs can tell us a lot — if we’re testing the right markers. 🧪✨

One of the most common things I see?
Thyroid panels that look “normal” but are missing a key player 👀

👉 Free T3 (aka the active thyroid hormone your cells actually use).

If you’ve had thyroid labs run recently, take a peek back — was Free T3 included?

In my newest blog, I break down:
• Essential hormone labs to consider
• What each marker actually tells us
• Why symptoms can persist even when labs look “fine”

Your body already makes GLP-1 🧠➡️🦠

This gut-derived hormone helps regulate satiety, blood sugar, and metabolic health.
Supporting GLP-1 naturally starts with the foundations:

🥑 Fiber, healthy fats, and adequate protein
🦠 A healthy gut microbiome
💊 Targeted support like Akkermansia or butyrate (when appropriate)

This isn’t about replacing medication—it’s about building the gut + metabolic support that helps any approach work better and more sustainably. ✨

Healing takes time, testing, and a plan made just for you—and the results are so worth it.

Yesterday we talked about why histamine symptoms happen. Today, let’s talk about what can actually support DAO. 👇

If DAO (diamine oxidase) is your main histamine-processing enzyme, support often starts with nutrients and food choices—not just avoidance.

Supporting DAO may include:
🥦 Copper-rich foods like broccoli, asparagus, almonds, sunflower seeds, and beef liver
🥛 Calcium sources such as goat or sheep dairy (as tolerated)
🍓 Temporarily lowering high-histamine foods like strawberries, spinach, and avocado if symptoms are persistent

For some people, targeted support can also help:
🧬 Histamine-friendly probiotics (bifido-based formulas like Probiota HistaminX)
🍷 DAO enzymes when consuming higher-histamine foods like fermented foods or alcohol

Histamine support isn’t one-size-fits-all. Gut health, nutrients, hormones, and genetics all influence tolerance.

Curious about the gut–gene connection? 🧐

An elimination diet isn’t a cure.
It’s a tool. 🛠️

Removing foods can calm symptoms and create clarity—but it doesn’t address why your body was reacting in the first place.

The real work happens when we:
✨ support digestion
✨ repair the gut lining
✨ balance hormones & detox pathways
✨ address infections, stress, and nutrient gaps

Food removal can be step one.
Root-cause healing is the goal. 👏

COMT is one of the most important genes involved in brain chemistry and estrogen metabolism. 🧬

If you watched yesterday’s reel, you know this gene helps regulate neurotransmitters, mood, motivation, and how your body clears estrogen. The good news? Your genes respond to your environment—and food is one of the most powerful ways to support them.

To support COMT, focus on foods like cruciferous veggies, leafy greens, nuts & seeds, beans, avocado, fish, and beets. 🥦🥑🐟

Pro tip: Choosing organic and minimizing plastic packaging when possible can help reduce chemical exposures that may interfere with hormone and detox pathways.
