Gut-Brain Healing With Functional Nutrition

Hi, I’m Amy, a registered dietitian nutritionist, nutrition expert, and author.

I help people with digestive and brain disorders improve their symptoms, transform their gut-brain health, and get comfortable with food again.

If you have IBS, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, GERD, SIBO, or EoE or symptoms including diarrhea, constipation, gas, and bloating, we can create your food as medicine plan. Other specialties are ADHD, anxiety, and post-concussive syndrome.

If this is you, you are in the right place! Read my latest blogs here.

Working with a functional nutrition dietitian is for you if…

You are ready to identify the root cause of your gut symptoms.
You want relief from symptoms and to enjoy food again.
You have tried diets, supplements, and quick fixes with no relief.
You’re ready to improve your gut-brain connection (and your mood).
You are open to investing in your health!

Do you struggle with any of these symptoms?

Gas and bloating
Constipation or diarrhea

Functional Nutrition Labs

Getting to the root cause of your gut-brain symptoms will involve a review of your medical and nutritional history, conventional labs, and lifestyle. We will review your current nutrition and supplement intake and create a personalized food as medicine plan.

Some additional functional labs may be recommended.

MRT® FOOD SENSITIVITY TESTING AND THE LEAP PROTOCOL

This is a blood test called the mediator release test that tests for 176 food and chemical sensitivities. From these results, we create your personalized nutrition protocol (LEAP) to reduce inflammation, improve your digestive health, and reduce symptoms.

MICRONUTRIENT TESTING FOR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCES

In this test, a full assessment of your nutrient status (vitamins like B12, minerals such as magnesium, fatty acids, and antioxidants) will be completed. We will use the results to optimize your nutrition and supplement plan and improve deficiencies that may be caused by genetics, digestive symptoms, increased needs, and/or dietary limitations.

IMPROVING GUT HEALTH WITH TESTING

A comprehensive functional stool test to analyze your gut health including gut dysbiosis, digestive enzyme production, parasites, and pathogenic bacteria.

OPTIMIZING MENTAL WELLNESS

We review lifestyle including exercise, sleep, and mindfulness.

GENETIC TESTING TO EMPOWER YOU TO CHANGE YOUR HEALTH

The genetic testing panel looks for genetic variations that may affect health and wellness.

Steps on your road to wellness after the free consult:

Step 1: Fill out paperwork online on the portal.

Step 2: Book an initial appointment (phone or video available).

Step 3: At your first appointment, we will create a plan for functional testing, nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle changes to reduce symptoms. Additional advanced labs may be recommended.

Step 4: Most clients see significant symptom reduction in the first couple of weeks when the plan is followed.

Let’s work together to create your personalized science-based, nutrition, and wellness plan to help you on your path to health and healing.
