Obesity isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a biology problem.
Your weight is influenced by:
• gut inflammation & microbiome imbalance
• hormone dysregulation (insulin, cortisol, estrogen, thyroid)
• chronic stress & poor cortisol signaling
• systemic inflammation
GLP-1 meds can be a tool - but they don’t fix why your body is holding onto weight.

That’s where functional health comes in. I help clients:
• Transition OFF GLP-1 therapy without rebound weight gain
• Protect gut health & muscle mass during and after weight loss
• Rebuild metabolic flexibility so your body can maintain results
• Lose weight without GLP-1s by addressing root causes first

No extremes.
No shame.
No one-size-fits-all plans.
Just data-driven, personalized support for a body that actually feels safe letting go of weight.
If you’re tired of fighting your body…
Let’s work with it. 🤍

Comment “RESET” or DM me to learn how I support sustainable weight loss - with or without GLP-1s.

High homocysteine isn’t “just a lab number.” It can signal impaired methylation (often linked to MTHFR variants), nutrient deficiencies, and silent inflammation affecting your heart, brain, and hormones.

When homocysteine is elevated, the body may struggle to:
• Detox efficiently
• Regulate inflammation
• Protect cardiovascular and cognitive health

This is where personalized functional health coaching matters. Instead of guessing, we look at why it’s elevated - genetics, gut health, B vitamins, liver function, and lifestyle stress - and create a targeted plan to support methylation and lower inflammation at the root.

Optimal health isn’t about chasing numbers - it’s about restoring balance. ✨

It isn’t normal to push through feeling unwell.
Anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, puffiness - these aren’t random. They’re signals.

Often, they point back to chronic, low-grade inflammation driven by things like:

• gut barrier dysfunction
• immune activation
• hormone imbalance
• stress physiology that never fully shuts off

True healing doesn’t come from ignoring symptoms or masking them. It comes from listening to the body and addressing the root cause.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you don’t feel normal, there’s more to explore - and support is available.

🌟If you’re ready to understand why your body is asking for help, let’s talk. I’d love to tell you all about my functional health coaching practice!

Beautiful sunshine like this always reminds me how much the body responds to the right environment.

Today I had a lab review with a client whose functional stool analysis told a really important story - not about disease, but about why she’s been feeling the way she has.

Her results showed:
• poor gut metabolites (SCFAs - the signals gut bacteria send to the body)
• impaired gut membrane integrity
• low commensal bacteria
And her symptoms suddenly made sense:
▫️ bloating
▫️ constipation
▫️ joint pain
▫️ mood changes
▫️ weight gain

When the gut lining isn’t well supported and beneficial metabolites are low, inflammation rises, communication between the gut and brain is disrupted, and the whole system feels out of balance.

This is why functional testing matters - and why healing isn’t about guessing - it’s about understanding what the body is asking for.

With the right nutrition, targeted support, and time, the gut can repair… and symptoms often soften in ways clients didn’t think were possible ❤️‍🩹

If you’ve been living with digestive discomfort, unexplained inflammation, or mood changes and feel like you’ve tried “everything,” there may be more information waiting beneath the surface.

Health restoration begins by creating safety at a cellular level.
So many people are trying to heal while their body is still in survival mode - undereating, overexercising, pushing through exhaustion, chasing quick fixes.
But biology works differently.

True healing happens when the nervous system feels safe, inflammation quiets, blood sugar stabilizes, and the gut is supported - not stressed.
This is the foundation of my functional health coaching work.

We don’t force the body into change. We create the conditions where balance becomes possible through:
• personalized nutrition (including elimination + reintroduction when needed)
• gut and hormone support
• blood sugar and metabolic regulation
• stress and nervous system support

When the body feels safe, it does what it was designed to do - restore, regenerate, heal.

If you’re stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or feel like your body is working against you, this may be the right time to get support.
✨ Send me a DM with the word “BALANCE” or tap the link in my bio to learn more about working together.

Healing isn’t rushed.
It’s supported.
