🤓 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.

We talk a lot about what to add to your diet — but what you reduce matters just as much for how you age, feel, and function.

Some of these might surprise you. 🤨 The good news? You don’t have to be perfect. Small, consistent swaps over time make a real difference.

Which one on this list surprises you most? Drop it below! 👇

We spend hundreds on eye cream and anti-aging serums — but wrinkles were never really the problem. Muscle loss is.

After 30, we start losing muscle mass naturally, and most of us don’t even realize it’s happening. It slows your metabolism, disrupts your hormones, and drains your energy long before you feel “old.”

The good news? It’s largely preventable — and it starts with what’s on your plate. This month’s blog breaks down exactly how much protein you actually need and the best sources to get it. Link in bio 🔗

Save this one 📌 — and tell us: what’s one thing you’ve noticed changing in your energy or body in your 30s, 40s, or 50s? 👇

That moment when you’re hungry, traveling, have lost hope… and then you spot a gluten-free baked good on the menu 💃✨

GF friends — what’s the best gluten-free treat you’ve ever found while traveling? What snacks and staples do you keep on standby?

We can’t control everything in our environment — but we can lower our daily chemical load in practical ways.

Here are the lifestyle choices I personally prioritize to reduce environmental toxin exposure at home 👇

🌬️ Air purifiers — especially in bedrooms (you spend 7–8 hours there every night)

👕 Let dry cleaning off-gas for 48 hours outside — or steam at home instead

🎨 Choose low-VOC paint, flooring, rugs, sheets & mattresses when possible
Look for certifications like GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, GOTS, or EU Ecolabel

🪟 Open the windows — indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air

🔥 Sauna or sauna blanket use (4–7x/week has been associated with lower all-cause mortality in research)

🔄 Rebounding or vibration plates to support lymphatic flow

🌙 A cold, dark, quiet sleep environment

🕯️ Ditch artificially fragranced candles & plug-ins — diffuse essential oils instead

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about reducing total toxic burden so your detox pathways, hormones, gut, and immune system aren’t constantly overwhelmed.

Wondering which bottled water brands test lower for PFAS (aka ‘forever chemicals’)?

Here’s what recent independent testing found for both sparkling and still options.

Remember — exposure is cumulative. Small swaps add up.

You’re drinking it every day… but have you ever tested what’s actually in your water?💧

Tap, well, bottled — each comes with potential contaminants that can impact your thyroid, hormones, and overall toxic load.

In this post, I break down the differences and what to watch for.

Because when we’re supporting hormone balance, the small daily exposures matter.

Stay tuned tomorrow 🗣️ I’ll be talking through different filter types — and how to choose what makes sense for you!

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.

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.
