Different Approach. Real Results.

If you're a Houston client dealing with chronic symptoms—fatigue, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, weight gain—you've probably heard it before: "Your labs are normal." But you don't feel normal. The Houston medical landscape is excellent, but conventional medicine often operates within ranges that miss the root causes of what's making you sick.

That's where functional nutrition comes in. As a holistic health practitioner in Houston, I offer a different approach. Instead of treating symptoms, I use root cause nutrition and advanced functional lab testing to identify exactly what's driving your health struggles. Together, we create personalized protocols designed to heal you from the inside out.

Yale-educated and certified in hormone and peptide health, I've spent years mastering functional medicine nutrition. I understand how your body works—and how to make it work better. This is functional medicine dietitian work at its finest: deeper dives, personalized solutions, and real healing.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

Do I need to be in Houston to work with Carli? +
No — and that's the beauty of it! I'm a licensed Registered Dietitian in Texas, and I work with all my clients 100% virtually. Whether you're in Houston, Dallas, Austin, or anywhere else in the US, we connect through video sessions. You get the same depth of care and personalized attention — just from the comfort of your home.
What kind of labs does Carli offer? +
I order comprehensive functional labs tailored to your unique situation. This typically includes advanced blood chemistry (80+ markers), GI-MAP testing for gut health, DUTCH hormone testing, Total Toxicity Panel, nutrient status markers, and specialty testing based on your symptoms. These functional tests go far beyond standard labs and help us identify root causes that conventional testing might miss.
How is this different from my Houston doctor? +
Great question. Your Houston doctor operates within conventional medical ranges and typically has 10-15 minutes per appointment. Functional nutrition is different: I use functional ranges (optimal zones, not just "disease" vs "not disease"), spend 90 minutes on your first deep-dive assessment, and focus on root cause healing rather than symptom management. It's not about replacing your doctor—it's about a complementary, deeper approach to nutrition and lifestyle that supports your overall wellness.
Is Carli a real Registered Dietitian? +
Yes, absolutely. I'm an RD/LD (Registered Dietitian / Licensed Dietitian) certified and licensed in both Texas and South Carolina. I completed extensive coursework, passed the rigorous Registered Dietitian exam, and maintain my credentials through continuing education. I'm also Yale-educated and hold specializations in functional medicine, hormone health, and peptide therapy. You're working with a legitimate, credentialed nutrition professional.
What if I have a sensitive health condition? +
My approach is always to integrate with your current healthcare. If you're working with specialists or managing serious conditions, that information is crucial for me to create safe, effective protocols. During your discovery call, we'll discuss your full health picture so I can determine if functional nutrition is right for you and how to coordinate with your other providers. Your safety is always first.
