My purpose is to share the power of nutrition and the effects it has on the entire body and mind.
I am a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant for the past 18 years and recently completed my certification as an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. This is the highest level of training offered in this field requiring 2 years of intensive coursework and board examination. My area of specialty is GI Nutrition for Women, Gut Immunity, Inflammation, Improving Symptoms from Gut Health Conditions, and Food Sensitivities/Intolerances. The gut is home to 70% of our immunity and I believe this is the key to our total health! Even though nutrition has been a life-long passion, my own GI problems inspired me to help others heal their gut. My purpose is to share the power of nutrition and the effects it has on the entire body and mind.
Blending Traditional with Functional Wellness
I will blend my traditional medicine training with an Integrative and Functional Health approach, serving Gainesville, Atlanta, North Georgia, and all other areas in Georgia. We will use functional medicine-based testing, nutritional therapies that fit into your busy life, personalized supplements, and find workable ways to change habits. Functional Medicine will benefit you because it is individualized and has a patient-centered approach that addresses root causes rather than just your symptoms leading to life-long optimal wellness. With a healthy gut, you will notice improvements in your mood, sleep, and energy.
I believe health is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will create a realistic plan that works for your fast-paced life. Our plan will improve not only your gut health but your overall well-being. As a busy mom, I fully understand the difficulties of multiple dietary needs, access to ingredients, and implementing good nutrition practices. I am here to support you through your journey to better health, restoring your quality of life, and finding that more vibrant you!
