Symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea or reflux are our body’s way of communicating that something’s not working and we must learn to listen to those rather than just cover them with medications or ignoring them. After experiencing firsthand the frustration of being told I’m fine for years by multiple specialists despite knowing something was wrong, I now help women feel heard and validated in their symptoms. I specialize in working with women struggling with autoimmune disease and digestive complaints. I’ve reviewed hundreds of labs and understand the importance of an individualized approach to health which includes not only what you eat but stress, physical activity, sleep, and relationships. The women I work with are smart, driven and value optimal health so refuse to just learn to live with their symptoms. We work together to identify the root cause of those symptoms and address them with diet and lifestyle changes.

Your gut does so much more than digest your meals,it impacts your energy, hormones, skin, mood, and even immunity. When it’s out of balance, your body will send you signals… sometimes subtle, sometimes loud.

If you’ve been struggling with bloating, sudden food sensitivities, brain fog, mood swings, or skin issues, it may be your gut asking for help.

The good news? Your body has an incredible, innate ability to heal. Once we identify the root cause and remove barriers, you can reclaim your energy, clarity, and vibrancy.

Let’s uncover what your gut is really trying to tell you. Book your free 15-minute discovery call at www.vibrantvia.com and take the first step toward healing.

Join me today at 12:00CST (10:00PST) for a free live event where you'll discover:

-Why balancing estrogen and progesterone alone rarely fixes the problem
-And why just taking thyroid hormone replacement isn't fixing your symptoms either
-The overlooked markers that explain fatigue, weight gain, irritability and gut issues
-Practical tips to get your thyroid and hormones working together again

There is a reason why your body isn't responding how it 'should'. Or how it used to.

Even if your labs are 'normal' - it's NOT just in your head (PS bring your labs and your questions and I'll leave time at the end for Q&A!)

Did you know 70% of vagus nerve signals actually travel from your gut to your brain, not the other way around?

That means your gut bacteria have a massive impact on your energy, mood, blood sugar, and even how your body moves food along (motility). If digestion slows down, it’s often a sign there’s more happening beneath the surface. Healing truly starts in the gut.

Did you know that neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s often trace back to gut dysfunction that can begin as early as our 20s and 30s?

Your gut and brain are constantly communicating, and when the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, it can set the stage for bigger issues later in life.

The good news? Small daily practices can reset your nervous system and support long-term brain health:
✅ Deep belly breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve
✅ Addressing hidden gut infections or imbalances
✅ Sending your body “safety signals” that calm adrenals and lower stress

Your future brain health starts with the habits you choose today.

You’ve been told “everything looks fine” — but deep down, you know it’s not.

Conventional lab ranges are built to detect disease, not to measure health.

In functional medicine, we read your labs differently. We look at optimal ranges, run deeper testing, and connect the dots between your symptoms and what your body is really telling you.

Because here’s the truth: “Normal” isn’t the same as thriving. And you deserve to thrive. Visit www.vibrantvia.com and book your consultation today!

With endless labs and supplements out there, it’s easy to think health has to be complicated (and expensive). But here’s the truth…

The foundation of lasting wellness isn’t found in a bottle, it’s found in the basics. Just look at the Blue Zones: simple, unprocessed foods, daily movement, strong community, and a deep sense of purpose. These are the habits that create vibrant health and longevity.

It’s not always about optimizing the “last 10%” — sometimes it’s about being intentional with the 90% that truly matters.

Did you know your gut does far more than digest food? About 70% of your immune system and nearly 80% of your brain’s neurotransmitters are made in your gut.

When we understand this connection, we can take action to restore balance, improve energy, boost mood, and strengthen immunity. Your gut truly holds the keys to vibrant health.

Struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up refreshed? Poor sleep is a major roadblock for many women, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

Hormone fluctuations, nighttime blood sugar dips, and inconsistent routines can all sabotage rest. Even with a perfect diet, lack of quality sleep can stall weight loss and healing.

Prioritize your sleep like your health depends on it, because it does. Ready to uncover what’s keeping you up? Let’s find your solution. DM me or book your consultation today.

Most health solutions treat symptoms. Functional medicine treats you, the whole, interconnected you.

Your body isn’t a collection of separate parts. Every system, every organ, every habit is connected. That’s why in functional medicine, we look at the big picture — your nutrition, stress, sleep, movement, and even your relationships. It’s about finding the root causes, not just chasing symptoms, so you can truly heal and thrive.

Ready to look at your health differently? Book a virtual consultation today and start your journey to vibrant health.

Have you ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers? You’re not alone. These common phrases might sound harmless, but they often overlook the root causes of your symptoms.

As a Functional Medicine Nutritionist, I’ve seen too many women dismissed with “normal” labs, “it’s just your age,” or “learn to live with it.” But the truth is, you deserve more than symptom management.

Your body has the ability to heal when we uncover what’s really going on — from hormone imbalances to gut health issues.
