Certified LEAP Therapist Nutritionists and Dietitians near Glendale, AZ

Are you tired of sacrificing your social life because of your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Does everything you eat trigger your symptoms? Have you tried medications or self-directed elimination diets with no success? You are not alone! IBS is the most common GI disorder worldwide – affecting 10-15% of the population. Medications are a band aid but do not reveal the root cause. Diet recommendations have good intentions but do not work for everyone. In many cases, food sensitivities are the root cause of these chronic health issues. Conditions like IBS and autoimmune diseases are made worse by inflammation from diet.

Confused by the massive amount of information out there? Want to know what to do to improve your health but aren't sure where to start? You just know you need to do something and you're ready to take the leap but, into what? Keto? Paleo? A meal plan? A coach? Maybe you should count your macros? Or maybe you need a better relationship with food. Not every technique is right for every person, that's why cookie-cutter programs don't work, or if they do you end up gaining weight back. Or, if you have an inflammation-related condition(s) - that's why your symptoms don't fully improve or end up coming back.

Are your stomach issues controlling your life? Perhaps you have been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or SIBO, or given no diagnosis at all.

I help my clients get relief from GI issues such as diarrhea and/or constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, joint pain, and migraines by incorporating both food sensitivity testing and a low FODMAP diet.
