Areas of Clinical Focus
Digestive Health
Your digestive system plays an important role in overall health, affecting nutrient absorption, immune function, energy, and even mood. Care may focus on food intolerances and sensitivities, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and other digestive concerns. A holistic approach looks beyond individual symptoms to explore nutrition, gut health, lifestyle factors, and potential underlying contributors.
Women’s Health & Hormones
Hormonal health can influence energy, mood, metabolism, digestion, sleep, fertility, and overall well-being. Clinical care may address menstrual irregularities, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), PMS and PMDD, sexual health and libido, and hormone-related skin concerns. Care is individualized to help identify factors that may be affecting hormonal balance and support women through different stages of life.
Blood Sugar Balance & Metabolic Health
Healthy blood sugar regulation is an important part of long-term metabolic health. Care may support individuals managing diabetes, insulin resistance, weight concerns, changes in metabolism, cholesterol, fatigue, and low energy. Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and other lifestyle factors may all be considered when developing an individualized plan to support healthy metabolism and more stable energy levels.
Fertility & Pregnancy
Nutrition and whole-body health can play an important role before, during, and after pregnancy. Care may include preconception planning, fertility optimization, support alongside infertility care, and nutritional guidance during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Infant and early childhood nutrition may also be addressed to help families establish healthy habits from the beginning.
Inflammation & Immune Support
The immune system and inflammatory response can be influenced by nutrition, gut health, stress, sleep, environmental factors, and other aspects of daily life. Clinical focus may include autoimmune conditions, thyroid concerns, allergies, celiac disease, and general immune resilience. A holistic approach considers the whole person and may help identify lifestyle and nutritional factors that can support healthy immune function.
Mood, Mental Health & Eating Behaviours
The connection between nutrition, digestion, hormones, stress, and the brain can have a meaningful impact on how you feel physically and emotionally. Care may address stress and burnout, anxiety, mood concerns, emotional eating, food cravings, and the gut-brain connection. The goal is to provide supportive, nonjudgmental care that considers both physical and emotional factors while helping patients develop healthier, sustainable relationships with food and their overall well-being.
Dental Nutrition Consultation
Your nutrition consultation begins with a 15-minute nutrition discussion, included as part of your new patient dental appointment. We’ll explore the connection between nutrition and oral health, including key nutrients for healthy teeth and gums, the oral microbiome, cavity prevention, eating patterns, and the important relationship between your mouth and the rest of your body.
Nutrition Services
Initial Nutrition Consultation
The 60-minute one-on-one initial consultation provides time to take a closer look at your current health concerns, health history, nutrition, and the foundations that support your overall well-being. Together, we’ll identify patterns, potential nutritional deficiencies, hidden barriers, and areas of dysfunction that may be affecting your health. We’ll also establish personalized goals and determine practical steps to help you move forward.
Follow-Up Nutrition Sessions
Follow-up sessions are available in 30 or 45-minute appointments. Your first follow-up session focuses on delivering and reviewing your personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan. We’ll discuss your progress, answer questions, and adjust or refine your strategies as needed. Depending on your goals, you may also receive educational resources, meal ideas, herbal recommendations, and ongoing support and accountability.
Personalized 7-Day Meal Plan
For patients who would benefit from more structured guidance, a 7-day personalized meal plan is available as an add-on. Your meal plan is designed around your individual nutrition goals and can provide practical ideas to help you put your personalized recommendations into practice. This add-on is available with the purchase of an Initial Consultation or Follow-Up Session.
