Stop Hitting Walls With Conventional Care
Charleston's health-conscious community is full of people doing everything "right"—eating clean, exercising, sleeping well—yet still struggling with chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and stubborn weight gain.
The problem? Conventional medicine stops at "normal" lab results. If you're told your thyroid is fine but you're exhausted. If your cholesterol is fine but your energy is tanked. If your digestion seems fine but your bloating is relentless—that's where functional nutrition takes over.
As a Yale-educated Registered Dietitian certified in hormones and peptides, I use advanced functional lab testing—GI-MAP, DUTCH hormone testing, comprehensive blood chemistry, toxicity panels—to see what conventional labs miss.
Then we build a personalized protocol to fix the root cause, not just manage symptoms. Whether you're in Charleston or anywhere in the nation, I work the same way: methodical, evidence-based, and deeply committed to your results — all through virtual sessions.
Charleston clients see real improvements because we're finally addressing what's actually going on.

Functional Nutrition Questions Answered
No — and that's the beauty of it! I'm a licensed Registered Dietitian in South Carolina (and Texas), and all my sessions are 100% virtual. Whether you're in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, or anywhere in the US, we connect through video calls. You get the same depth of care and personalized attention — just from the comfort of your home.
Unlike conventional medicine, functional nutrition labs go deeper. I typically order: comprehensive blood chemistry panels (not just the basic screening), GI-MAP stool analysis (to see your gut microbiome and infections), DUTCH hormone testing (24-hour hormone patterns), and Total Toxicity Panel screening when indicated. These reveal patterns that standard labs completely miss.
Conventional medicine is reactive—it waits for disease diagnosis. Functional nutrition is proactive—it looks for imbalance and dysfunction before disease develops. Your doctor might say your labs are normal because there's no diagnosable disease. Functional testing catches the patterns causing your symptoms. I'm not here to replace your doctor; I'm here to find what they're not looking for. Many clients work with both.
Yes. I'm an RD/LD (Registered Dietitian/Licensed Dietitian) registered in South Carolina and Texas, holding credentials from the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I completed my degree at Yale University and hold specialized certifications in hormonal health and peptide nutrition. I practice evidence-based nutrition science with a functional medicine lens—the best of both worlds.
Most people have. Standard nutrition advice treats everyone the same—that's why it fails. Functional nutrition is personal. We test your body, find your specific issues (maybe it's SIBO, maybe it's hormonal dysfunction, maybe it's a toxin exposure), and build a protocol around your actual biology. That's why clients see results where generic diets failed.
It depends on what we're addressing. Some clients feel energy improvements within 2-3 weeks. Deeper issues like gut healing or hormone rebalancing typically take 8-12 weeks to fully resolve. The good news: functional nutrition creates lasting change, not quick fixes. We're healing the actual problem, which takes time but sticks.
