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.

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: 

  1. Phase one is elimination of your inflammatory foods to ensure you are feeling your best 

  2. Phase 2 is expanding the foods to include more variety of tested food into your plan 

  3. 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.
