You get sick for 3 main reasons: toxins, microbes and deficiencies. I believe everyone can heal as long as we can find the root of your illness within these 3 things. And it all starts with asking “why.”

Doctors aren’t asking the right questions. Instead, of understadning why your illness is happening, they’re handing out prescriptions that only mask symptoms, leaving your quality of life compromised. Functional medicine doesn’t believe the body makes mistakes; instead, instead of masking symptoms, we look at root causes that are creating them.

This approach goes beyond putting a “Band-Aid" on your symptoms with medication - it’s designed to give your body the tools and resources it needs to finally heal and rebalance itself.

Because of the incredible success I’ve had reversing gut diseases like Crohn’s and Colitis (and other digestive issues that most doctors say can’t be helped), I’ve partnered with medical clinics across the country to help their patients get better too.

What does it mean to reverse IBD?

I use the term “reverse” because IBD is a generally linear and predictable disease because it progresses in fairly typical ways.

By “reversing” IBD, we can actually reverse the timeline in which your disease developed to restore your quality of life and bring on natural healing - so much so that most of our clients forget they ever had it!

Your body can heal when given the right tools.

I know you’re exhausted from having flares, confused by all of the information online, and frustrated that the only solution your doctor has for you is a medication you’ll need for the rest of your life. The truth is…medications are not the only path forward.

My journey into functional health began when I was on my own gut healing path and discovered just how many different factors impact the human body. It’s never only one number on a lab report, or one symptom, we are complex organisms. It can be a challenge to figure things out on your own, and I struggled too, when online information is conflicting at best, and doctors are only trained to treat, not fix.

Having someone to walk you through a proven step by step process, is the key to getting better.

I’m a big believer in listening, advocating, and partnering with clients on their healing journey. You know your body the best, and I have a lot of tools in my tool box, so together, we’ll make a great team!

Your body is a dynamic, adaptive system, not a collection of disconnected parts.

Gut, brain, hormones, detox, and immunity are always in conversation. I use a functional approach that combines data, systems thinking, and targeted protocols to decode that conversation and optimize your biology for lasting health and vitality.

I spent over a decade dealing with chronic gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, and a web of diagnoses mainstream medicine couldn’t resolve. I became the practitioner I wish I’d had, someone who connects the dots, asks better questions, and sees the whole picture. This started as a personal mission long before it became my profession. That journey led me deep into functional health, where everything intersects.

Since then, I’ve supported complex cases, worked alongside top practitioners, and specialized in lab-based protocols that address gut health, detox, genetics, the gut-brain axis, and nervous system balance. My work goes beyond symptom relief, it's about uncovering root causes and helping you reclaim clarity, resilience, and your full biological potential. The goal isn’t just recovery, it’s a blueprint for high performance and human vitality.
