For years I struggled with GI upset and mystery symptoms that nobody could explain. Asthma, childhood trauma, and an appendectomy all left their mark, and it wasn’t until I found functional medicine that the pieces finally started coming together. I was eventually diagnosed with IBS, SIBO, psoriatic arthritis, chronic Lyme disease, and early menopause. Living through that journey is exactly what drives my work today.
Discovering nutrigenomics was a turning point, personally and professionally. Understanding how my unique genetic variants were influencing my symptoms finally gave me answers after years of searching. Today, integrating nutrigenomics alongside functional nutrition is central to how I work with every patient, offering a level of personalization that makes real, lasting change possible.
Grounded Root Nutrition was built from the ground up on lived experience. Mine. I know what it feels like to be dismissed, to get a diagnosis with no real plan, and to keep searching for answers that conventional medicine couldn’t provide. That’s exactly why I built a practice that does things differently.
Healing is rarely linear, and it’s never one-size-fits-all. My approach combines advanced functional testing, targeted nutrition, and lifestyle support to address what’s actually driving your symptoms. The goal isn’t just symptom relief. It’s building a body that works for you long term.
Joy is a nutrient. Food is meant to nourish your body and your soul.
You CAN feel better than this. I know because I do.
