Functional Approach

​What Is Functional Health Coaching?

Functional health is about more than just treating symptoms — it's about understanding why those symptoms are happening in the first place.

I use a root-cause approach to uncover hidden imbalances in your body and guide you toward healing through personalized, sustainable strategies.

My process is grounded in science, supported by functional lab testing, and focused on your unique biology — not a generic protocol.

Test, Don’t Guess

Traditional healthcare often stops at surface-level symptoms.

But I believe real healing starts with real data.

​That’s why I use advanced lab tests to assess key systems in your body, including:

  • Hormonal balance (adrenal, thyroid, sex hormones)

  • Gut health & microbiome (inflammation, leaky gut, pathogens)

  • Detoxification pathways (liver function, oxidative stress)

  • Nutrient absorption & deficiencies

  • Immune function & metabolic performance

These tests uncover hidden stressors that may be holding you back—so we can build a strategy that targets the root cause, not just the result.

The D.R.E.S.S. Protocol

​Using the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® framework, we focus on five pillars that support your body’s natural ability to heal:

1. Diet

Eliminate inflammatory triggers and fuel your body with what it truly needs

2. Rest

Optimize your sleep and recovery for repair and resilience

3. Exercise

Match your movement to your energy levels and metabolic state

4. Stress Reduction

Address emotional, physical, and environmental stress

5. Supplementation

–Support key systems with targeted, data-informed nutrients

This protocol is flexible, personalized, and rooted in respect for your body’s signals and needs.

Your Body Was Designed to Heal

When given the right support, your body knows how to heal.

I help you remove obstacles to healing, identify missing pieces, and support your body’s natural processes — so you can regain energy, clarity, and control over your health.

The Functional Approach is all about transformation that lasts.

I’m Not Here to Diagnose — I'm Here to Guide

As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, I don’t diagnose or treat disease.

​Instead, I act as your health detective, coach, and educator.

Together, we’ll:

  • Look deeper than surface-level symptoms

  • Use lab insights to guide decisions

  • Build lifestyle strategies that feel doable, not overwhelming

  • Empower you to understand and support your body long-term
