Certified LEAP Therapist Nutritionists and Dietitians in Michigan

My passion as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in St. Joseph, Michigan, is working with clients whom need and desire nutritional counseling to help prevent or treat a specific disease or condition. I work with you to turn your health around. I provide individualized nutrition counseling, corporate or organizational nutrition seminars, dining out sessions, and grocery store tours.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you feel like a shuttlecock going from one physician to another?

I am an Integrative/holistic Registered dietitian Nutritionist with extensive training in Functional Medicine. If you are suffering from a chronic medical condition, and wish to find out WHY this is happening to YOU, and HOW we can ADDRESS the underlying issues in your unique physiology, and biochemistry, while taking into consideration your genetic profile and interactions with your environment (diet, allergies, pollution, toxins etc.), then functional medicine is the path that may provide you with most answers. Often enough, I implement functional lab profile, in order to obtain further insight into the underlying cause(s).

I am passionate about blending the latest and best science with the power of food, nutrients and lifestyle as medicine to help clients reclaim vibrant health. I have invested hundreds of hours in advanced training in adverse food reactions, weight management, polycystic ovary syndrome, longevity and the aging process and Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative processes. I completed a rigorous, multi-discipline certification in Functional Medicine, Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP) on 5/18/2018. I also love teaching and am an engaging and entertaining speaker to a wide variety of audiences.

Do you have a chronic health condition such as IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, eczema, or others? Since 80% of your immune system is in the gut, foods can act as "triggers" causing inflammation, pain, bloating, diarrhea and more. Your immune system is as unique as a fingerprint, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. What might give one person a migraine doesn't necessarily give someone else a migraine. I personalize my approach by combining nutrition, laboratory analysis and supplements (if needed). Most importantly I listen. You know your body better. Together we'll develop an approach that works for you.

Are you sick of trying every diet and never achieving or maintaining your goals? Feel confused and overwhelmed by all the different nutrition information being thrown at you every day? Feel completely ashamed and defeated because you just have no self-control to “get it together”? We will throw out those miserable diets to simplify your nutrition goals and create a life-long solution you love. Whether you’re at home in your kitchen, out to dinner with friends, or on vacation with family, I’ll help you feel confident about your food choices and in control of what you choose to eat.
