Our Services
Nutrition
During the initial nutrition consultation I take a personalized in depth look at your diet and lifestyle. We will go over your stress and sleep management, any pertinent lab tests, medical history, food preferences and intolerances, food lifestyle, and your relationship with food. We will also discuss your personal health goals and needs.
Navigating through the media nutrition maze can get confusing, during this session I will answer any nutrition questions you may have. We will also develop a food plan personalized to your lifestyle and nutrition goals. We will work to improve your relationship with food and discuss easy and affordable recipes you can make at home.
During the follow-up consultation we will touch base to evaluate your progress and together come up with ways to overcome any obstacles you may face. During these consultations we will also discuss other key areas to consider to ensure you are reaching your goals.
We also provide 1:1 personalized cooking classes covered by insurance. Available after your initial consultation.
Initial consultation duration: 90 mins.
Follow up duration: 30 minutes or 50 minutes

Customized Meal Planning
This is for you if you would like to have more of a plan of what to eat with recipes, but would not like the additional support of one on one visits.
Our 1-Month Customized Meal Plan is designed specifically around your goals, lifestyle, and dietary preferences, starting with a 15-minute phone consultation to understand your needs, schedule, food preferences, and any restrictions. Based on that conversation, you’ll receive a fully personalized meal plan with balanced meals, portion guidance, simple recipes, and grocery support tailored to your routine and budget. Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, eating for your cycle, improved energy, or overall healthier eating, the plan is built to be practical, sustainable, and adaptable, with adjustments available throughout the month to ensure it continues to support your progress and long-term success.
Two options are available. If you are unsure of what you need or where to start, you can first schedule an initial nutrition visit so you have more of a plan and then you will get a month meal plan. The other option is to just order the month meal plan without a one on one visit if you are clear about your goals and what you want.
**We are able to work with anyone throughout the country on customized meal plan, but if you choose the one on one initial nutrition visit fist then you need to live in one of these states: Washington, Illinois, Florida, Colorado, California, Virginia, Michigan, and Arizona.
Food Sensitivity Test
LEAP stands for Lifestyle Eating & Performance. It is a MRT, or mediator release test, which tests for foods that create inflammation in the body. The LEAP protocol is a food plan that focuses on foods that are anti-inflammatory to you!

Food Reactions:
When we eat foods that we are “sensitive” or highly reactive to, it means certain types of cells in the immune system are releasing mediators (such as cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes or histamine) through a non-allergy reaction. These mediators are often found to be responsible for directly triggering unwanted symptoms such as diarrhea, joint pain, migraines or skin breakouts, etc.

Three phases of LEAP:
Phase one is elimination of your inflammatory foods to ensure you are feeling your best
Phase 2 is expanding the foods to include more variety of tested food into your plan
Phase 3 is continuing to add foods tested and untested to expand your diet further
Who can benefit from LEAP?
Any disorder or disease that has an inflammation present.
Some examples that work great with LEAP are:
GI Imbalances: Functional Diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, GERD (acid reflux), Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrom
Fibromyalgia, Inflammatory Arthritis
Depression
Autoimmune diseases
Acne/Rosacea/Eczema
ADHD
Difference between LEAP and other food sensitivity testing.
The MRT test measures 176 different foods, food chemicals, and chemicals added to food.
Book a 30 minute $30 consultation to see if LEAP is right for you.
