Functional & Holistic Nutrition

you deserve to be truly heard

If you’ve been told your results are normal but you know something is deeply wrong you are not imagining it. And you are not alone.
I listen. I look at the whole picture. And together we find the root cause.

you have been trying so hard

Your mouth and gut are connected

What happens in your gut directly affects your gums, healing, energy, skin, mood and brain function. Understanding this connection is what makes whole body healing possible.

Your symptoms have a source

Your chronic symptoms are not random. There is often a hidden source of inflammation that has simply gone undetected. Finding it and addressing it is what changes everything.

Personalized nutrition changes everything

From your oral microbiome to your gut, immune system, skin and brain, I look at how every system connects and where the breakdown is happening. That is where real healing begins.

I know what it feels like to watch someone suffer and not have the answer.

My 30+ years in dentistry gave me a unique front row seat to the powerful connection between what happens in the mouth and what is happening throughout the entire body. That curiosity led me to functional & holistic nutrition and the emerging science of the gut, mouth and body connection.

What drives me is not the science alone. It is the moment a client finally understands what has been happening in their body and realizes there is a way through.

I bring over 30 years of clinical observation in the dental field, specialized training in microbiome science, functional and holistic nutrition, BIE, Iridology, and a genuine commitment to understanding your whole story. Together we will figure this out.

Symptoms I help with

If something is off and you have not found answers yet, you are not alone.

fatigue and low energy

That sleep and rest never seem to fix. You wake up exhausted and push through every single day wondering why your body will not cooperate.

Brain fog and poor focus

Poor concentration, memory issues and mood that feels physical not emotional.

skin issues

Acne, eczema, rosacea and chronic skin conditions that nothing seems to clear regardless of what you put on it.

Digestive issues

Bloating, food sensitivities and discomfort after eating that makes you afraid to enjoy food anymore.

inflammation and chronic discomfort

Feeling unwell, achy and inflamed with no clear explanation that anyone can find.

Oral health concerns

Gum disease, slow healing, dry mouth, sensitive teeth or recurring dental issues that will not fully resolve despite treatment

Hormone imbalances

Peri-menopause, menopause, mood swings, fatigue and cycle disruptions that make you feel like you no longer recognize yourself.

WEIGHT AND METABOLIC ISSUES

Struggling with weight despite doing everything right. You eat well, you exercise and still cannot seem to shift it. Your gut may be the missing piece.

food sensitivities

Reactions that seem to be getting worse over time and affecting more and more foods leaving you confused about what is safe to eat anymore.

“If you are nodding your head after reading this list you are exactly who I work with.”

My approach

Your symptoms are not random. They have a source.

There is a growing body of research connecting the bacteria in your gut and mouth to systemic inflammation throughout your entire body affecting your brain, skin, energy, hormones and your ability to heal.

Why Nothing has worked

Harmful bacteria in your gut and mouth produce inflammatory toxins called LPS. This is normal until the balance tips.

the leak

A damaged gut lining or inflamed gums allow these toxins into your bloodstream triggering a systemic immune response.

The Fire

Chronic inflammation travels everywhere. It affects your brain, skin, joints and hormones and drains your energy. It keeps burning until the root cause is addressed.

The solution

Personalized nutrition that restores balance to both the gut and oral microbiome, giving your body what it needs to finally heal.

services

Every service is customized to you because your health journey is unique.

Functional and holistic nutrition consultations

A comprehensive whole body approach to nutrition that looks beyond food to address the root cause of your chronic symptoms. No generic protocols. Just a plan built entirely around you.

oral gut microbiome support

Your oral and gut microbiome are in constant communication with every system in your body. We identify where the imbalances are and restore harmony between them for lasting whole body health.

gut microbiome and immune system support

Did you know that approximately 70 to 80 percent of your immune system lives in your gut? An imbalanced microbiome affects how your body responds to antigens including foods, environmental triggers and other substances, contributing to sensitivities, allergies, autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation.

Functional Testing Support

If you have been told your tests are normal but you still feel terrible there is a reason. Comprehensive stool testing looks deeper into your gut microbiome revealing bacterial imbalances, inflammation and dysfunction that standard testing completely misses. This is where we find the answers we have been searching for.

gut lining repair protocols

Chronic bloating, food sensitivities, irregular digestion and discomfort after eating are often signs of a compromised gut lining. When the gut lining is damaged it affects everything from nutrient absorption to systemic inflammation throughout your entire body. Through targeted nutrition and supplementation we restore gut integrity, reduce inflammation and help your digestive system function the way it was meant to.

Skin health and the gut connection

Your skin is a mirror of what is happening inside your body. Acne, eczema, rosacea and chronic skin conditions are frequently rooted in gut microbiome imbalances and systemic inflammation. When we heal the gut the skin follows.

Weight and Metabolic health

Struggling with weight despite doing everything right. Your gut microbiome plays a direct role in metabolism, appetite regulation and GLP1 production. Restoring gut balance may be the missing piece you have been looking for.

BIE Bio-Energetic Intolerance Elimination

A gentle non-invasive technique designed to support the body’s response to various stressors including foods, environmental factors and other sensitivities.

iridology

A window into your body’s patterns, strengths and potential areas of concern through detailed analysis of the iris.

ongoing support and accountability

Healing is not a straight line and you do not have to walk it alone. I am with you every step of the way providing guidance, adjustments and the accountability that makes the difference between trying and actually healing.
