You didn’t just wake up one day with fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, or skin issues.

It likely started months, maybe even years, ago.

What you’re experiencing now could be the result of what’s called your Total Body Burden…

the buildup of toxins, stealth infections, environmental chemicals, mold, heavy metals, and unresolved pathogens that slowly overwhelm your system until the “bucket” spills over.

🪣 Imagine your body as a barrel.

👉🏼 Each stressor (physical, emotional, environmental$ fills it up a little more.

Eventually, your body can’t compensate. That’s when the symptoms appear.

Not because the last thing was “the problem,” but because your system reached capacity.

This is why just treating symptoms or doing a basic blood test doesn’t work.

We need to uncover what’s filling your barrel:
→ Mold exposure
→ Lyme & co-infections
→ Gut dysbiosis or parasites
→ Hormone or detox pathway congestion
→ Emotional stress or trauma

👉🏼 By using advanced functional testing, I help you pinpoint the biggest contributors to your body burden so we can finally lighten the load and give your body the space to heal…and for you to feel 100%.

You don’t need a quick fix.

You need a plan that actually makes space for healing.

😣 Ever been told “everything looks normal” even though your body is screaming otherwise?

That’s the trap of conventional medicine:

Unless your labs are outside of the standard (and often outdated) reference range, you’re told nothing is wrong.

And by the time something is officially wrong, it’s already progressed.

👉🏼In functional medicine, we look deeper.

We catch issues before they spiral.

We assess trends in your labs, your symptoms, and your lifestyle through a lens of prevention, optimization, and healing. Not just disease management.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse. You don’t have to live in survival mode.

Your body is constantly giving you signals. I help you listen to them early so we can prevent chronic illness before it takes hold.

You’ve tried everything: gut protocols, supplements, medications, anti-anxiety tools…

But the symptoms just keep coming back.

😣Fatigue. Brain fog. Bloating. Sinus issues. Insomnia. Mood swings.

Here’s what most conventional providers won’t check for:

Mycotoxins. Aka: mold illness.

🦠 Mold exposure creates a chronic inflammatory response in the body that’s often overlooked, dismissed, or flat-out misdiagnosed.

These toxins don’t just clear on their own and they can block your body’s ability to fully heal, especially if you’re dealing with stealth infections like Lyme or Long COVID.

Even the best treatments may not work if mold is still burdening your system.

A simple urine test can assess for mold toxin…something standard labs never check.

And from there, the key is working with a provider who truly understands how to:

✅ Support detox & drainage pathways
✅ Lower your fungal burden safely (candida can do ten be a co-infection)
✅ Address the root cause, not just manage symptoms

If you’re spinning your wheels, not feeling better, and deep down you know something’s still off… this could be the missing piece.

My patient thought she was just tired from being a mom…

But no matter how much she slept, she still woke up exhausted.

Her hair was falling out in clumps.
She had cold hands, brittle nails, dry skin.
She couldn’t focus or remember simple things.
And no matter what she ate or how hard she worked out, her weight refused to budge.

She started to think maybe this is just aging.
But something in her gut told her: this wasn’t normal.

Turns out, it wasn’t. She came to me and we found the root cause.

She had subclinical hypothyroidism: a sluggish thyroid that didn’t show up on basic labs.

Her TSH was “fine,” but no one looked deeper.

No one tested her Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO antibodies, or nutrient deficiencies.

Once she started following the custom protocol and supporting her thyroid function and stopped overexercising and undereating…

The weight started to come off.
The brain fog lifted.
She started to feel like herself again.

Your symptoms aren’t in your head. You might just need the right labs and a practitioner who knows how to read them.

You’re not crazy. You’re not being dramatic. And it’s not “just anxiety.”

It could be mast cell activation and it’s way more common than people realize, especially in those with mold exposure, chronic infections, and trauma.

Mast cells are part of your immune system. They release histamine and other chemicals in response to stress, toxins, and perceived threats.

But when they become overactive, they can cause a storm of symptoms that seem random, fluctuate daily, and get brushed off by conventional doctors.

This is called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and it’s often at the root of mysterious illness clusters like:

🔹 Mold toxicity
🔹 Lyme + co-infections
🔹 Histamine intolerance
🔹 Chronic fatigue
🔹 Long COVID
🔹 Anxiety + panic for “no reason”

🧠 The nervous system and mast cells work closely together, which is why emotional stress or trauma can make symptoms even worse.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but your body tells you otherwise, it’s time to look deeper.

👉🏼With proper testing, nervous system support, and root-cause protocols, you can calm your immune system and start to feel like yourself again.

Your gut isn’t just where digestion happens, it’s where your hormones, detox, and immune function start.

And what do all of those processes rely on?

👉 Beneficial gut bacteria.

But here’s the thing: You can’t just add probiotics and hope for the best.

You have to feed the good bugs so they can thrive, multiply, and do their job.

That’s where prebiotic fiber comes in.

Think of it like fertilizer for your microbiome. 🌱

When you nourish beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, you’re also supporting:
🧠 Mental clarity
💩 Healthy, regular digestion
⚖️ Hormonal balance
🛡️ A strong immune system
🧬 Better detoxification

Whether you get prebiotic fiber from food (like jicama, raw onions, garlic, or Jerusalem artichokes) or from a quality supplement, the key is consistency.

Start slow. Add it daily. Watch your gut, and health, change.

Imagine catching insulin resistance before it becomes a diagnosis.

Before the blood sugar crashes. Before the cravings, fatigue, or weight gain that won’t budge even with dieting.

That’s the power of functional medicine.

We don’t have to wait until things are “bad enough.”

We can spot patterns early and intervene while you still have time to shift the trajectory of your health.

⚠️ A fasting insulin level over 6?

That’s often the first sign your body is heading toward insulin resistance.

Not diabetes yet, but walking the path.

But we can change that story.

✨ Through personalized nutrition
✨ Strategic movement
✨ Stress regulation
✨ Root-cause testing
✨ Targeted supplements

This is true prevention, not guessing, not dismissing.

Curious where your numbers stand?

If you’ve been to every doctor, taken every supplement, cleaned up your diet but you still feel exhausted, itchy, bloated, foggy, and inflamed…

this might be why: parasites. 🪱👀

Yes, even in the U.S.

Intestinal parasites can cause:
🌙 Insomnia (especially around the full moon)
🧠 Brain fog
😵 Chronic fatigue
🧻 IBS symptoms
😣 Skin rashes
🫤 Itching (especially re**al or unexplained body itching)

The problem? Most conventional tests miss them.

Parasites don’t show up in every bowel movement and they tend to be more active and detectable around the full moon, when their reproduction and activity increases. 🌕

👉 That’s why I recommend a 3-day stool sample collected during a full moon window.

The test I use, GI Effects, doesn’t just check for parasites.

It also looks at:
👉 Gut function
👉 Inflammation
👉 Digestive capacity
👉 Signs of leaky gut
👉 Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut flora)

If your body feels like it’s fighting a battle you can’t name, we need to look deeper.

You don’t have to guess. You don’t have to gaslight yourself.

🧪 Lab testing can reveal what your body’s been trying to tell you for months (or years).

Still struggling with symptoms… even after treating Lyme?

It could be something your labs never tested for. 👇

Many people are ‘treated’ for Lyme disease, but never tested for the co-infections that come along with it.

And here’s the truth no one tells you: Lyme is rarely alone.

➡️ In over 70% of chronic Lyme cases, other stealth infections are present.

And guess what? The symptoms don’t always look “infectious.”

😵 Brain fog
🌡️ Night sweats
🦴 Migrating joint pain
🫣 Panic attacks
🌀 Severe insomnia
🙅‍♀️ Obsessive thoughts
🔥 Skin rashes
💤 Bone-deep fatigue

This is your immune system stuck in overdrive, and it won’t stop until the real invaders are identified and addressed.

These co-infections require targeted protocols and a Lyme-literate provider who understands how to uncover them and regulate your immune system without sending your body into a spiral.

If you’ve been feeling like something’s still off… even after antibiotics, even after treatment…

You’re not crazy. And you don’t have to stay in survival mode.

If you’ve been feeling off lately: unmotivated, moody, anxious, struggling to fall asleep, it’s not “just life.”

It’s your body trying to tell you something.

When you’ve ruled out everything but still don’t feel like yourself, there’s usually a deeper reason.

Here’s what I see most often ⬇️

🧠 Low mood + anxiety: Often linked to low vitamin D or magnesium, poor gut health, and low neurotransmitter production (yes, 90% of serotonin is made in your gut).

😴 Insomnia + restless sleep: Can stem from cortisol dysregulation, blood sugar imbalances, or poor melatonin conversion.

💧 Low motivation + fatigue: Common with sluggish thyroid function, low B vitamins, or mitochondrial dysfunction…and most standard labs miss it.

These are not random “symptoms.”

They’re messages from your body that something deeper is off hormonally, nutritionally, or metabolically.

And that’s where functional testing changes everything.

With the right labs like the DUTCH test, OAT (Organic Acids Test), and comprehensive thyroid + nutrient panels, we can uncover the exact reason why your brain and body feel disconnected… and create a protocol to bring you back into balance.

You deserve to feel like you again, not just survive each day.
