Functional Nutrition Detective Work

Are you ready to explore the root cause of your personal nutrition needs?

If you are tired of fad diets or of trying the latest promising superfood or cleanse, you've come to the right place. It's time to do some detective work to find out where YOU should begin YOUR personal nutrition journey! 

I'm so glad you've stopped by!

​

My approach to nutritional therapy is summed up in two words: investigation and communication! 

I deeply enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them discover THEIR unique nutritional needs through a variety of assessments and creating customized solutions together.

I believe this work is best accomplished through in-depth, ongoing communication linked with evidence-based nutrition research and ancestral wisdom. 

​

You'll notice my services are structured to make sufficient time for us to communicate. For example, my initial meeting is 2 hours instead of the typical 1 or 1.5 hours (or 15 minutes with your GP). I find I can't get to the bottom of things in less time-- that's just me! My follow-up meetings are also 45 minutes each so we have plenty of time for feedback, adjustments and next-step recommendations. I like to see my clients every other week (if possible) to ensure maximum support and success, plus I provide weekly check-ins during our "off-weeks" via email or text. I also spend a good deal of time researching your unique nutritional issues because... #ocd #nutritionnerd!

This type of ongoing communication and detective work is the best way for me to provide you with customized recommendations suited to your bio-individual needs. 

​

So whether you are here because you want to learn how to eat better, resolve your digestive complaints, regain your energy, moods or focus... or even optimize your longevity, I look forward to starting this wellness journey together!

​

All services are virtual meaning we meet live and online wherever you choose!

"Your genes are not your destiny."

​

-Dr. Ben Lynch

Genetic Optimization Session

1.5-hour session to review results of your genetic analysis and see how this relates to YOUR unique nutritional needs. It can  be game-changing to discover which superfoods may be working for or against your genes and how to incorporate and rotate them to your advantage. There is also the option to learn about genetic risk factors for cognitive decline, if you have a concern about this, truly want to know, and feel ready to optimize your APOE4 genes with targeted nutritional therapy.

How does it work?

• You take a DNA test through Ancestry.com or 23andme.com (paid for by you); we can also use any past testing

• I instruct you how to retrieve your raw data which you agree to share with me so I can run a gene analysis OR I can instruct you how to run a gene analysis and you can share the results with me

• We discuss certain results related to nutritional therapy and use this to inform your customized protocol

Who is this for?

The genetic optimization session is ideal for clients who:

• Eat healthy, but aren't responding well to superfoods-- like cruciferous veggies, fermented foods or other "health foods"

• Want to know if they have genetic propensity for histamine or sulfur intolerance or other genes that influence nutrient metabolism

• Have a family history of cognitive decline and/or know or want to learn if they have the APOE4 genetic risk factor and what they can do about it nutritionally

While not yet perfect science, nutrigenomics and epigenetics are powerful fields of study that can greatly influence the outcome of your health and longevity. Feel free to ask me any questions about this exciting opportunity!
