As a functional medicine nutritionist, I employ the power of food to promote healing in autoimmune and digestive diseases. Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, depression and anxiety, and many other conditions have root causes that include food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and a high toxic burden. An anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diet is at the heart of treating these elements of disease.

I help folks heal from perfectionism around food and their bodies so they can live fully nourished through fertility, pregnancy and beyond. I’m a strong believer that your body is wise, and that tuning into your innate wisdom is powerful. I want to help you find that power through reconnecting to your body, and with a little nutrition science along the way, reach your reproductive health goals and ultimately live your best life. I believe nutrition should be truly holistic - which means it takes into account your mental and emotional health too.

How can an Altoona Nutritionist help me?
Dietitians and Nutritionists in Altoona provide advice on good eating habits. They help you with your diet and how it affects your health. They assess nutrition needs and food patterns, plan a diet that's appropriate for your physical and dietary needs, and provide nutrition counseling, such as advice on dietary changes and menu plans. They advise on special diets for medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies, and obesity.

The word dietitian has a variant spelling 'dietician' (e.g. find an Altoona dietician). Both spellings are correct.
