Your Questions Answered

Investigation first. Transformation next.

Real answers about working together - no sales pitch, just what you actually need to know.

I investigate the whole picture - not just what you're eating, but environmental factors like mold, water quality, and toxic burden that most practitioners never consider. We use functional nutrition, gentle detox, and sustainable changes in small, doable steps. You lead; I guide. Your symptoms are clues. Let's follow them

FAQ Accordion

Do I need to follow a strict diet or give up foods I love?

Not at all. We work food-first, which means adding nourishing choices before removing anything. When we do identify inflammatory triggers, we find satisfying swaps you actually enjoy. This isn't about perfection—it's about building momentum and feeling like yourself again..

What if my labs always come back “normal” but I still feel terrible?

You're not crazy. Standard labs often miss the subtle patterns that drive fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. We investigate the whole picture—your symptoms, your environment, your triggers—to figure out what's been overlooked. Sometimes the problem isn't what you're eating. It's what you're living in.

I’ve tried everything and nothing works. How is this different?

You shouldn't have to guess anymore. Instead of another protocol to follow, we investigate together using simple tracking (food, symptoms, optional CGM data) and make stepwise changes with ongoing support. I work with a limited number of clients at a time so you get actual attention—not a cookie-cutter plan. You're not doing this alone.

What does “gentle detox” actually mean?

It's food-first and life-friendly—hydration, minerals, movement, regularity, plus simple home swaps to lighten your toxic load. No harsh cleanses, restriction, or disruption to your daily life. We investigate what's filling your bucket, then lighten the load. When your bucket overflows, symptoms show up.

What about environmental factors? How do we investigate those?

This is where most practitioners stop—and where I dig deeper. We look at mold exposure (visible and hidden), water quality, air quality, cookware, cleaning products, and other toxins in your home. Sometimes that "small" leak from last year is still causing problems. Environmental investigation isn't extra—it's essential.

Do you provide medical treatment or diagnose conditions?

I don't diagnose or treat disease—I'm a Functional Nutrition & Environmental Health Coach who provides education and support. I help you investigate. I don't prescribe. I work alongside your healthcare team to support your body's natural capacity through nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental changes.

What if I can’t stick to the plan perfectly?

Building momentum, not chasing perfect. We'll adjust as we go, celebrate progress, and build sustainable habits that work for your life. Some days Good is the bravest step. I use a Good→Better→Best framework so you always have options.

Will I need to take a lot of supplements?

Supplements support the plan, not replace it. We focus on food-first nutrition and only recommend targeted supplements when they serve your specific needs. No overwhelming stacks or guesswork—just what your body actually needs to lighten the load.

What results can I realistically expect?

Most clients notice improved energy and digestion within the first month, with continued progress in mental clarity, sleep, and weight stability over six months together. Real change takes time - usually 6-12 months, sometimes longer if environmental factors are involved. You'll gain confidence in your body and a sustainable plan you can actually live with.

How long do we work together?

My program is 6 months minimum because real change takes time. I won't promise quick fixes. But I will help you finally figure out what's actually going on. Investigation first. Transformation next.

Still Have Questions?

Let's talk. No pitch, no pressure. Just real conversation about what's been overlooked and whether I can help.
