What is Holistic Nutrition?

Sometimes called Functional Nutrition, Holistic Health, or Functional Medicine, Holistic Nutrition is a root cause approach to nutrition and health that goes beyond symptom management to correct the underlying imbalances that are impacting optimal health.

The beauty of this approach is that it truly takes into account the whole person and seeks to understand why you’re experiencing symptoms in the first place. Holistic Nutrition considers lifestyle, emotional, medical history, lab work and other factors to come up with real solutions to chronic or debilitating health problems.

Who do you work with?

I work primarily with women and men who suffer from a variety of conditions and symptoms including, but certainly not limited to, the following:

Fatigue, Food Sensitivities, Hormone Imbalance, Menstrual Cycles, Infertility, Headaches, Bloating, Brain Fog, HPA Axis Dysfunction (aka: Adrenal Fatigue), Gut Issues, Skin Conditions, SIBO, Candida/Yeast Overgrowth, Thyroid Imbalance, Autoimmune Disease, and so many more!

Will I have to change my entire lifestyle in order to work with you?

That depends.

The more complex your health challenges, the more strategies we’ll need to help you recover from them. But my philosophy is different than most - I find that clients do best when they can make realistic changes consistently over time, rather than being told to make sweeping changes all at once.

So my promise to you is this - I will work with you to prioritize your health issues and address the most pressing issues first.

And I'll be there to support, listen to, and guide you each step of the way so you get the results you want and need without the overwhelm.

I hear the term “real food” thrown around, can you tell me what that really means?

Real foods is a commonly-used term that basically means that you prioritize whole, unprocessed foods as the main source of your diet.

Foods that are unrefined and are unprocessed much like your great grandmother grew up eating. Examples of real foods include fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and high quality animal products, fish and seafood.

Can I just get testing or do I need to schedule a consultation?

I do not offer testing without first having a visit, whether this is part of a package or a stand- alone consultation.

Part of the purpose of the consultation is to create a cohesive plan and determine whether and what type of testing may be required. Prioritizing our efforts in this way helps ensure you’re spending your time and money only on the right tests at the right time.

If I’m already under a physician’s care, can I still work with you?

Yes! Many of my clients are currently under the care of a physician or have been referred to me in order to seek nutritional support to resolve their current health conditions.

My services are a great compliment to primary medical care. I often collaborate with other health practitioners as needed to provide my clients with the best possible solutions to achieve the best outcomes.

Where I can get more information before we start together?

I personally believe that education is a big piece of improving your overall health. That’s why it’s always is an integral component of everything I share in my web site articles, social media (Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest), and emails to subscribers (Sign up here!). All of these resources are completely free and are places to find some first steps.

One-on-one coaching with me is the best way to get personalized, thorough information for the specific issues you’re currently facing.

Do you take insurance?

No, I don’t. However, I do offer payment plans and review what is a top priority for you when it comes to improving your health and tackling symptoms.

Most of my services can be paid for with Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards.

I can also provide a superbill or sign insurance forms to assist you in requesting reimbursement from your insurance carrier.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, the Core 8 Signature Package  and my Next Level Package (follow up package for graduates of the Core 8 Signature or Single Consultation) both have payment plans to make working with me easier and more affordable!

Do you see people in person?

My practice is entirely virtual, so all meetings take place via phone or video call, whichever you prefer.

What if I need more help after my package ends?

Many clients do choose to continue working together for longer. Once you complete a Core 8 Signature Package (or a stand alone 50 minute Consultation), you'll have the option to purchase a Next Level Package with 4 follow up visits that can be used any time within a year. Any discounts on supplements/testing and access to any course materials that accompanied your original package will be extended during your Next Level Package.
