Arthritis Nutritionists and Dietitians in Michigan

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.

Have you been struggling with chronic health issues and are tired of going from doctor to doctor trying to find help? Have you ever wondered if it was your food that could be making you sick? My goal is to help you get back to feeling better again! I offer individualized consultations as a Certified LEAP Therapist/Registered Dietitian to manage your chronic conditions related to inflammation such as digestive issues (IBS and IBD, bloating, constipation, diarrhea), migraine, acne, fibromyalgia, arthritis, food allergies and sensitivities, asthma, eczema, celiac, gluten sensitivity, diabetes, PCOS, auto-immune and weight issues.

I'm glad you're here! There's SO much information circulating about nutrition: what to do, how to do it, when, why. It can feel like you're drowning in information. That's what I'm here for! I'll quiet the noise and customize a roadmap for you and your goals. This is not a cookie-cutter program! It is individualized and YOURS. We focus on building health-supportive habits and bring more awareness to your body and mind. I want to get to know YOU - your history with food and eating, your current struggles with food, your likes and dislikes, lifestyle, health history and your personality.

Whether you're wanting to lower your blood pressure, manage diabetes, or lose weight and keep it off for good, my approach to working with you is positive, non-restrictive and specific to you and your health goals and needs. I help you feel fully supported while making the process of working on your health simple and straight-forward. Together we will set goals and work to create lasting habits for long-term success!

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).

My clients come to me exhausted, burnt out, frustrated, and often with illnesses or symptoms that no one can explain. They know the impact of food and lifestyle on their bodies and minds, but can't seem to find what works for their unique needs or stick to any one-size-fits-all program. Many are depressed, anxious, and dealing with digestive and energy issues that affect their daily lives: either too tired or unmotivated to do much or feel like they are doing everything and going nowhere.

Are you interested in changing your eating style to enhance your health and well-being? Do you have high blood pressure? Do you need support changing your diet? Are you feeling energized and vibrant? Is your digestive system working the way you want? Making lifestyle changes can increase your energy and feelings of vitality. Are you curious what supplements would benefit your body? Do you have a family member or employees that would benefit from learning about wellness and health promotion? I can provide impactful nutrition coaching, cooking demonstrations, seminars, eating experiences and share my years of experience to help you.

**Accepting In-Person & Telehealth Clients** My style is to work collaboratively and with compassion when helping my clients cope with their medical and mental health diagnoses, overcome dieting distress and improve their quality of life through nutrition and lifestyle changes. I offer evidence-based medical nutrition therapy, intuitive eating skills, mindfulness practices, and use functional labs and selective supplements when needed. I am passionate about addressing the gut-brain axis and conditions like ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune, depression, disordered eating, eating disorders, GERD, insomnia, IBS, IBD, and SIBO.
