As a REGISTERED DIETITIAN & NUTRITIONIST in private practice, specializing in FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE NUTRITION for over 25 years, I provide the most comprehensive, biochemically sound & HIGHLY PERSONALIZED NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS available, with aggressive, goal-based follow-up care & expert precision in adjustment of dietary & supplement regimens so that patients progress as quickly as possible. I target the ROOT CAUSES of CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES with highly specific dietary recommendations, in combination with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probitoics, antioxidants & botanicals, chosen with great care for their purity, safety & efficacy. Careful review of patient lab values is a high priority, together with an in-depth intake/health history. This helps me identify important patterns to help guide nutritional care. I create a 50 to 70-page action plan for every patient, complete with customized meal plans, menus, recipes & guidelines for eating on the run or for those who do not like to cook. I accept patients of all ages (adults, teens, tweens & children). The individuals for whom I care range from high-level athletes to very ill individuals with difficulty losing weight, serious GI ISSUES, such as FOOD ALLERGY, food sensitivity, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), SIBO (small intestinal bacetrial overgrowth), diverticulitis, leaky gut syndrome, gastroparesis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, candida albicans syndrome (yeast overgrowth), DIABETES, NEUROPATHY, CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, KIDNEY STONES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, chronic fatigue, post-viral syndromes, long COVID, FIBROMYALGIA, osteoarthritis, cancer, heart disease, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, chronic inflammation, lupus & other autoimmune disorders, peri-menopausal issues, hormonal imbalances/PCOS, women's health issues (bladder health, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids), thyroid health, adrenal insufficiency/exhaustion, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), histamine intolerance, oxalate metabolism disorders, MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), multiple chemical sensitivity, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autism, skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis), aging skin & much more. My first degree was in EXERCISE SCIENCE, so I am always happy to provide age-&-fitness-level-appropriate exercise recommendations or to help my patients refine their training program. Nothing I recommend will ever contradict the work a patient is doing with his or her medical doctor. In fact, I am always glad to fax periodic progress summaries to a patient's doctors or to other members of the medical team so that we can all stay on the same page in regard to care & to support a team approach to health care for the patient. I LOVE MY WORK & I am very passionate about providing the most comprehensive, most up-to-date functional medicine nutrition care available, treating each patient as I would a treasured family member.
