Each patient that comes in to see me has a story to tell. I listen and address the root causes that guides each person towards a path to health and well-being.

If needed, we can test for food sensitivities using LEAP/MRT, hormones, micronutrient deficiencies, cardiometabolic, and stool testing for gut health.

Do you struggle knowing what foods are good for your kidney health? Do you see conflicting information online and feel confused about what is best for you? Did you only get a one page handout from your nephrologist with foods to avoid and foods to eat? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Feeling overwhelmed about what to eat to improve and protect your kidney function is all too common. As a Renal Dietitian with over 10 year of experience, I help adults with CKD protect their kidneys and improve energy levels by increasing confidence with food.

Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods. You've tried so many diets but dieting only leads you to binge because you have constant hunger and sugar cravings. You love the idea of intuitive eating and letting go of dieting but you're not sure what that looks like when you're trying to manage PCOS.
