You’ll start with an initial consultation (roughly 60-90 minutes) and recommended testing. Follow-up appointments (45-60 minutes) are done based on how much guidance or coaching you need at the time. Many clients start with meeting every 2 weeks, and then graduate to meeting every 4 to 6 weeks.
For your convenience, all meetings are done via telehealth through PracticeBetter.
Nutritional therapy is tailored for each client, based on their needs. We can make a lot of progress through diet and lifestyle changes alone, but sometimes it’s necessary to dig deeper. We do that through functional lab testing, which can tell us exactly what needs to be addressed.

about functional medicine nutrition
Certified nutrition specialists (CNS) use functional medicine nutrition to help their clients take back their health. The term "functional" refers to two things: optimal ranges for lab work and tests that look at the whole person. We use "functional" or optimal ranges for blood labs instead of disease ranges - because your lab work can be within "normal" range and you still don't feel great. We also use functional tests to help us dig deeper and look at the whole body, because all systems work synergistically. For instance, your gut health can impact nutrient absorption or inflammation, it can impact blood sugar signaling and hormone production. A food sensitivity test can help you whittle down some foods contributing to your inflammation. A genetic test can help you figure out what genes are impacting your health so you can determine an optimal approach for your body. Instead of pharmaceuticals, we use nutrition, lifestyle and supplements to help bring your body back into balance.
