šŸ¤“ Functional Med Dietitian I am a functional nutrition dietitian, focusing on the body as a whole instead of individual parts or symptoms. I have experience helping patients with IBS/IBD, fibromyalgia, weight loss, chronic migraines, and food sensitivities. Together, we'll work through nutrition-related challenges, and create a custom whole foods-based nutrition plan aimed to reduce inflammation and support the body's innate ability to heal. I am excited to share my experience with you in hopes it will empower your journey to optimal wellness.

Why does bread in Europe feel so different? 🌾

If you’ve ever traveled abroad and noticed your gut feels better eating gluten, you’re not imagining it.

Here’s why wheat in the U.S. can be harder to tolerate:
šŸ‘‰It’s ultra-processed, bleached, and stripped of fiber + protein
šŸ‘‰ Fortified with synthetic folic acid (an issue if you have MTHFR/methylation problems)
šŸ‘‰ Treated with potassium bromate — a potential carcinogen banned in many countries
šŸ‘‰ Stored in ways that encourage aflatoxins (mold toxins)
šŸ‘‰ Hybridized for high yield → higher gluten content

The result? Bread and pasta in the U.S. are a totally different food than what you’ll find in Europe.

Your body has built-in detox pathways, but the foods you eat can help support those processes. šŸ’Ŗ

Some foods contain compounds that naturally bind to chemicals and toxins, making them easier for your body to eliminate, like…

šŸ„ Oyster mushrooms: studied for their ability to bind heavy metals
🄦 Cruciferous veggies: rich in sulforaphane to boost liver detox enzymes
šŸŠ Citrus pectin: may bind certain toxins and support gut health
🌾 Flax seeds: provide soluble fiber that helps carry waste products out

By including these foods regularly, you can give your body gentle, ongoing detox support — no harsh cleanses required!

Curious about peptides? 🧬 Here’s what you need to know:

BPC-157 is one of the most talked about peptides when it comes to gut and overall health.

It’s a short amino acid chain that naturally occurs in gastric juices, and researchers have been looking at its potential benefits for:
✨ Gut and digestive support
✨ Joint and muscle recovery

Research is still limited. IV administration may work faster, but oral BPC-157 taken consistently may still support gut health, mood, energy, muscle repair, and healthy aging.

That little pear-shaped organ under your liver? It’s working harder than you think. šŸ’Ŗ

Your gallbladder stores & releases bile, which helps digest fats, balance cholesterol, and regulate hormones.

When bile flow gets sluggish, the ripple effects can show up as bloating, pain, greasy stools, or even nutrient deficiencies. 🚫 But with the right nutrition and support, you can keep things moving.

Swipe through for causes, signs, and gallbladder-friendly foods that can make a big difference! 🫶 And see the link in my bio for my gallbladder support recommendations!

Gut healing is a journey — and it’s easy to get stuck along the way.

The top mistakes I see:šŸ‘‡
1ļøāƒ£ Stopping too soon (when symptoms start to improve)
2ļøāƒ£ Reintroducing foods too early (or avoiding them forever)
3ļøāƒ£ Skipping gut repair + prevention steps

Your gut is resilient, but real healing takes time, strategy & support.

If you’re tired of trial + error, I’d love to help you find clarity and lasting relief. šŸ™Œ Tap the link in my bio to book a New Client Consult today!

Smiling big because I get to help people feel like themselves again. 😊

Sometimes the smallest shifts make the biggest difference—better moods, deeper sleep, fewer cramps, less bloating, steadier energy… and yes, a brighter smile.

Birth control pills, magnesium, fiber supplements… they can all play a role in your health story (for better or worse). The key is knowing what your body actually needs, and what’s just getting in the way.

Functional nutrition is about finding those puzzle pieces, removing what’s not serving you, and adding what is so you can thrive.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your labs are ā€œnormalā€ when you know something’s off — I’ve been there.
