Complimentary Discovery Call
30 Minutes
FREE
- This free 30-minute video call will allow us to discuss your current health challenges and goals and determine if nutritional therapy is right for you. You will also learn more about the nature of my work and have the opportunity to ask any questions before you commit to a program. If I feel like I may not be the best person to help you, I will happily refer you to another practitioner that would more effectively address your needs.
Introductory Nutrition Consultation
- In the first 90-minute visit we will go into detail about your symptoms, health concerns and the goals you expect to achieve from our work together. We will also conduct a thorough review of your health and family history and your food journal, based on forms you will be asked to complete in advance. At the end of the visit, based on your clinical presentation, you will receive a list of personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations that we will review together to mutually agree on a plan you can implement until your next visit. I may also recommend the support of practitioner-grade nutritional or herbal supplements and we may evaluate the need for advanced laboratory testing, all at an additional cost.

Follow-Up Visits
- In our follow up sessions, we will review your progress as well as the results of specialized testing (when applicable). We will also conduct any reassessments as needed, adjust your dietary plan and supplement recommendations and update your personalized plan.
- Occasionally, some issues or concerns may come up in between follow-up sessions as you are adjusting to a new protocol. Brief 25 min. sessions are available where I will answer any critical questions you may have and/or adjust your protocol or supplement recommendations should you experience any reactions.

Comprehensive Gastrointestional Healing Program
7 Sessions plus tests- What this program is: This program focuses more intensively in optimizing your digestion to help you make forward, focused progress toward your health goals. Regardless of what your immediate concerns are, digestion is fundamental to healing. Even if you’re eating a nutrient-dense diet, if your digestion is suboptimal you may not be absorbing all the nutrients necessary for optimal function.
- Additionally, the gastrointestinal tract has an important role in neurotransmitter production and, therefore, it can significantly affect our mood and behavior
- Optimizing digestive function is also necessary for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, which has been shown to have important roles in immune function, production of essential nutrients, blood sugar balance, food sensitivities and even sleep and mood.
- We also uncover hidden food sensitivities that can exacerbate digestive disorders, but can also manifest in a myriad of ways including allergies, skin disorders, chronic headaches and fatigue, muscle and joint pain, mood or behavioral issues, etc.
- What is included: We begin by ordering specialized laboratory testing. The GI Microbial Assay Plus, also known as the GI-MAP, uses DNA analysis of a stool sample to assess gastrointestinal function, the presence of potential pathogens in the GI tract, as well as the balance of the gut microbiome. The Mediator Release Test or MRT, on the other hand, uncovers potential sensitivities to a panel of 170 foods.
- With the results from both tests and considering your clinical presentation, I develop a personalized 12-week protocol that includes very specific dietary guidelines and practitioner-grade supplements to address the specific findings. At the completion of the 12-week protocol, the GI-MAP is repeated to confirm that we have been successful at addressing all of the original findings. Occasionally, a second 12-week protocol is needed and, in cases where severe symptoms may prevail, testing for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) might be recommended. Throughout the protocol, I offer monthly follow-up visits to monitor your progress, and brief follow-up sessions are also available to address any concerns that may come up in between monthly visits. Unlimited email consultations are also available during the course of your program at no additional cost.
- 12-week protocol includes:
- • 1 Comprehensive Introductory Nutrition Consultation (90 min)
- • 4 Follow-up Sessions (50 min each)
- • 2 Brief follow-up sessions (25 min each)
- • Laboratory testing (2 GI-MAP, 1 MRT)
- • Unlimited consultations via email.
7 sessions / $1800
