Functional Nutritional Therapist

A practitioner with 20 years of experience helping people understand why their body isn’t working the way they expect — and what it actually needs. I work in two spaces: women’s hormonal health and therapeutic pet nutrition.

My Story

I was the patient
before I became the practitioner

For years I collected unanswered questions. Tests came back normal. Treatments required sacrifice and delivered little. I stopped waiting for someone else to figure it out — and started figuring it out myself.

“Your body doesn’t care what you believe is healthy. There are certain nutrient needs that absolutely must be met to achieve vibrant health.”

The shift started when I made a decision most people in my world considered radical: I added meat back into my diet, after being plant-based for over a decade. Within weeks, something turned on that I hadn’t known was off. That discovery launched a decade-long dive into the science of nutrition — not trends, not philosophy, but the actual biology of how the body works.

The question driving all of it: why can a body feel broken when nothing is technically wrong — and what does it actually need to feel like itself again?

Two decades, multiple certifications, and over one million books sold later, that question is still the first one I ask — because whether I’m working with a woman navigating her hormones or a pet owner trying to feed their animal well, the answer is never exactly the same twice. That’s the work.
