YOU Are working with another provider but still feel like something is missing.

Low energy, cold hands/feet, hair thinning, slow metabolism, or mood shifts — even if your labs are “normal.”

HOW IT WORKS

"A WALKING TEXTBOOK"


"My morning jitters and feeling of fatigue are non- existent anymore. The testing was really valuable and having you analyze it was super important to my success. I feel better and my skin has totally cleared. Thank you for all your help to get here!"

"For the first time I was able to see what is actually going on in my body and which parts need help and healing."

No. Many women come to a Clarity Session without recent lab work. If you do have labs, we’ll review them. If not, we’ll assess whether testing may be helpful and which types of labs would provide the most clarity moving forward.

Testing decisions are discussed—not ordered—during this session.

Do I need lab work before booking a Clarity Session?

We don't take insurance directly but you can use your HSA or FSA card or we can provide a Superbill for out-of-network reimbursement purposes.

The Functional Clarity Session is a one-time, 60-minute strategy and interpretation session designed to help you understand why your symptoms are happening and what needs to be addressed first.
In this session, we connect the dots between your symptoms, history, and any existing lab work to identify patterns, priorities, and the most effective next step forward. It’s ideal if you want expert insight and direction before committing to longer-term care.
Our 1:1 program, on the other hand, is a six-month, high-touch clinical partnership designed to support implementation over time. This includes ongoing treatment planning, functional testing as needed, iterative adjustments, and continued guidance as your body adapts and heals.
Many women start with a Clarity Session to gain understanding and confidence, then transition into the 1:1 program when they’re ready for deeper, ongoing work.

What’s the difference between these sessions and your 1:1 program?

The Clarity Session is designed to help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and what needs to be addressed first. For many women, meaningful healing requires ongoing support, sequencing, and follow-up, which is why we offer a 6-month 1:1 program for implementation.

Is the Clarity Session enough to resolve my symptoms?

FAQs

do you take insurance?

what if i need additional support?

Will I receive a treatment plan or protocol during the Clarity Session?

The Functional Clarity Session is designed to provide clarity, interpretation, and strategic direction. While we discuss priorities and next steps, this session does not include full treatment planning, protocol customization, or ongoing care.

If deeper implementation support is needed, we’ll discuss what that would look like and whether our 6-month 1:1 program is the right fit.

I’m a functional medicine registered dietitian, board certified in sports dietetics and functional endocrinology, and I’ve spent the last decade helping women with endocrine, thyroid, and autoimmune conditions finally understand their bodies and resolve their symptoms naturally.

Over the years, I’ve guided and supported thousands of women who felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of confusing symptoms. And I’ve been in their shoes — before I became the practitioner, I was the patient navigating thyroid issues and hormonal dysfunction with no clear answers.

Because of that, I’ve built my practice around one core promise: clarity, compassion, and root-cause care.

And while I personally oversee the clinical framework behind every protocol we recommend, you won’t just have access to my knowledge— you’ll have access to a highly trained clinical team that I’ve mentored and developed extensively. Every clinician on my team is trained directly in my functional endocrinology, sports medicine and root-cause methodology, and we collaborate closely on every case to ensure you receive the same depth, insight, and individualized strategy that I’m known for.

We can’t wait to support you, guide you, and help you finally feel at home in your body again.
