One Recorded Video reviewing your HTMA results and providing you with updated recommendations that will really shift your goals!
One 30-minute follow-up around week 4 to review your progress and answer any last questions you may have.
Some of the reasons for “the WHY of your problem” could be:
>>adrenal dysfunction
>>thyroid problems
>>digestive issues
>>mineral deficiency
>>hormone imbalance, etc.
We use specialty labs that look deeper than most conventional doctors’ blood work. Our labs look at how your body is responding to stress, illness, digestion, and how it is functioning.
All of which gives me the insight needed to help you heal once and for all.
As your dietitian, my job is to find a solution to your problem, dig deep, and find the root cause so we can attack it and prevent it from reoccurring. Provide you tools for prevention, take the guesswork and Google searches out of your head. I will be available throughout the entire process to support, guide, and cheer you through.
Imagine 3-6 months from now
How would you like to feel?
I know you are motivated, otherwise, you wouldn’t be here.
You’ve already done all the googling, the doctor hoping, the yo-yo dieting. Now it is time to find out what else is in store for your health and your future!
Some of the transformations my clients experience…

Knowing that what you get will support your blood sugar, weight goals and your metabolism! All without restrictions and worry.
