Feel better in your body - with clarity, confidence, and real relief.
If you’re struggling with digestion, low energy, hormone imbalances, or feeling disconnected from food, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.
At From The Roots, I help adults stop guessing what their body needs and start understanding why they feel the way they do. Together, we uncover the root causes behind stubborn symptoms so you can feel energized, balanced, and confident in your body again — not just temporarily, but long term.

Who I Help
I work with adults who:
Struggle with weight gain or stubborn weight that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise
Feel bloated, inflamed, or uncomfortable after meals
Are exhausted but wired, anxious, or struggle to sleep
Experience hormone-related symptoms like PMS, irregular cycles, low libido, or mood swings
Have tried multiple diets, supplements, or practitioners with little lasting change
Want answers, structure, and a clear plan — not another quick fix
If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel like yourself, this work is designed for you.
What changes when we work together
A Note on Weight Loss & Body Composition
Clients often come to me feeling confused, frustrated, and disconnected from their body.
Many are also struggling with weight changes or difficulty losing weight — even when they’re eating well and exercising.
Rather than pursuing weight loss alone, we focus on supporting the systems that actually allow your body to release weight naturally: digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress hormones, thyroid function, and mineral balance.
When these foundations are supported, weight loss becomes a byproduct of a body that feels safe, nourished, and regulated.
Over time, clients experience:
Steadier, more reliable energy throughout the day
Improved digestion with less bloating, discomfort, or food fear
A calmer nervous system and better stress resilience
More balanced hormones and fewer monthly swings
Confidence around food choices without rigid rules
Clarity around what their body actually needs
☀️ “Feeling your absolute best” means waking up with energy, trusting your body’s signals, and having a clear path forward — instead of constantly searching for answers.
The From the Roots approach
Instead of chasing symptoms, we focus on identifying what’s driving them.
For many clients, that root begins with mineral imbalances — which influence how your body produces energy, manages stress, digests food, balances hormones, and heals.
By using functional testing and personalized guidance, we translate complex data into practical, doable steps that support your body at a foundational level.
This approach is designed to bring clarity, direction, and real relief — so your body can finally respond.
Testimonial from the advanced support package
“Just wanted to share my gut health journey in case it can help someone. For almost 15 years I've struggled with severe gut issues. At one point I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease - Crohn's disease - and was treated for several other GI related issues. I thought that was just the way my life was going to be. With the added stressors of life events from 2020 and 2021 my gut health was out of control.
In Feb 2023, I went on a hiking trip with my hiking group. That trip was an eye opener for me as I barely made it up the mountain. I had the worst muscle cramps, had no energy, blood sugar kept dropping along with my usual GI issues. I was in tears by the time I made it to the top. Thankfully on this trip I got to meet my friend Candace who just happened to be a Functional Nutritonal Therapy Practitioner. I decided I needed her help because I was tired of being miserable, always tired/brain fog, and spending my day worrying about .
Candace had me complete this health questionnaire to see which protocol we needed to start with - of course GUT protocol it was!:We did testing and found I had several food sensitivities (included foods I ate on a daily basis ), Candida overgrowth, H. Pylori along with several other GI markers out of range. (Side note did you know you should rotate your probiotics? I didn't hence some of my issues.)
I followed her Gut protocol she put in place and within weeks felt so much better. By the end of my 4 month protocol - I had lost 30lbs and my GI issues resolved. (I do another 4 month protocol just to clear up the last little bit of H. Pylori I had). I have now been able to add foods back into my diet and have not gained any of that weight back and am still feeling great with NO GI ISSUES!! I retested in January and no longer have candida, h. Pylori or any other out of range GI markers.
Yesterday Jeremy and I decided to do a 8 mile hike that was rated hard. I had my personal best time of minutes/mile!! Pic on the left was yesterday. Pics on the right are from this time last year. What a difference a year makes! I highly recommend From the Roots if you are ready to change your health for the better. The best part is you don't have to live in Georgia - she does video calls/work with you remotely, too.”

How We Use Functional Labs to Identify Root Causes
-
Stop guessing what your body needs. Get clear answers and a plan that actually works.
HTMA is designed for women who feel stuck in symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, bloating, hormone imbalance, or blood sugar crashes despite doing “all the right things.”
This is not just data — it’s a roadmap.
HTMA helps us understand:
Why you’re exhausted but wired and can’t fully rest
Why your energy, motivation, or body temperature feels off
Why certain foods leave you energized while others cause crashes
Why hormones and mood feel unpredictable
Why you may eat well but still feel depleted
How stress, detox capacity, and mineral patterns affect your body
By addressing mineral balance, we support how your body handles stress, nourishment, hormones, and healing. When the foundation is supported, everything else works better.
-
When digestion feels off, energy is low, or inflammation won’t calm down, the gut is often part of the picture.
GI-MAP testing helps us look deeper than symptoms to understand what may be disrupting digestion, immunity, and nutrient absorption.
GI-MAP can help identify:
Why bloating, reflux, constipation, or diarrhea keep coming back
Hidden infections or imbalances contributing to inflammation
Why food sensitivities seem to increase over time
Why nutrients and supplements don’t feel effective
How gut health may be influencing hormones, mood, and immunity
Rather than guessing, this test gives us clarity so we can create a focused plan to support gut healing and reduce unnecessary trial-and-error.
-
If you feel inflamed, puffy, foggy, or reactive to foods but can’t pinpoint why, MRT helps bring clarity.
MRT (Mediator Release Test) assesses how your immune system responds to specific foods and chemicals, helping us identify triggers that may be contributing to chronic inflammation.
MRT can help you:
Understand why certain foods cause fatigue, joint pain, headaches, or digestive discomfort
Reduce inflammation without eliminating foods unnecessarily
Create a personalized food plan that supports healing, not restriction
Feel more confident around food choices
This test is used strategically and only when appropriate — always with the goal of adding clarity, not limitation.

Nutrition Services FAQ’s
-
Working together is a collaborative, step-by-step process focused on understanding your body, not forcing it.
We start by looking at your symptoms, history, and foundations — things like nutrition, stress, movement, hydration, and daily rhythms. From there, we use functional testing (such as HTMA, and when appropriate, GI-MAP or MRT) to identify patterns that may be driving how you feel beneath the surface.
Rather than chasing symptoms or jumping into aggressive protocols, we build a strong foundation first. This allows your body to actually respond to support and reduces overwhelm.
Throughout our time together, you’ll receive:
Clear guidance and education so you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing
Personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement support
Ongoing check-ins and adjustments as your body adapts
A supportive container where questions are encouraged and progress is monitored
This work takes time, which is why most clients work with me for 6–12 months. Healing isn’t linear, and your plan evolves as your body does.
The goal is not perfection or quick fixes — it’s clarity, confidence, and lasting change you can maintain long after our work together ends.
-
Not always! Some clients start with food, lifestyle, and foundational support alone. However, I often recommend starting with HTMA to get a clear picture of mineral status and stress patterns. Other testing like GI-MAP or MRT may be layered in later if deeper work is needed.
-
I work with adults who feel stuck in symptoms despite doing “all the right things” and want real answers — not another quick fix.
Common concerns I support include:
Digestive issues such as bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, or food sensitivities
Low energy, fatigue, burnout, or feeling “tired but wired”
Hormone imbalances, including PMS, irregular cycles, low libido, or low testosterone
Weight gain, metabolic resistance, or difficulty losing weight despite effort
Blood sugar instability, cravings, or energy crashes
Brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, or poor stress tolerance
Inflammation-related symptoms such as joint pain, headaches, or skin issues
Rather than treating these as isolated problems, we look at what may be driving them underneath — such as mineral imbalances, chronic stress, gut dysfunction, inflammation, or detox and drainage challenges.
This work is ideal if you’re looking for a personalized, root-cause approach that helps your body feel more balanced, resilient, and responsive over time.
-
Yes! Many of my clients come to me after being told their labs are “fine” but they still feel off. Functional testing looks deeper and helps us spot patterns that conventional labs may miss — especially when it comes to minerals, gut health, and stress response.
-
Everyone’s body is different, but most clients begin to notice early shifts within the first 4–8 weeks — such as improved digestion, more stable energy, better sleep, or fewer crashes.
That said, deeper and more lasting changes take time.
Because this work addresses root causes like mineral balance, gut health, stress response, and inflammation, meaningful healing typically unfolds over several months, not weeks. This is why most clients work with me for 6–12 months.
Progress often looks like:
Subtle improvements first (less bloating, better energy consistency)
Followed by more noticeable changes (hormone balance, improved metabolism, clearer thinking)
And eventually long-term stability and confidence in how to support your body
Healing is not linear — there may be periods of adjustment as your body recalibrates — but with consistent support and guidance, clients often experience sustainable improvements that last well beyond our time together.
The goal isn’t a quick fix. It’s helping your body respond, adapt, and heal in a way that actually holds.
-
Not traditional, one-size-fits-all ones. I offer macro-based guidance, sample days, food journal feedback, and personalized suggestions — all rooted in whole food nutrition and your unique metabolic needs.
-
Yes — I support both men and women. Many of my male clients come for support with energy, digestion, weight balance, and athletic performance.
-
The first step is scheduling a discovery call.
This is a no-pressure conversation where we talk through your main concerns, health history, and goals. It gives us a chance to see if this approach is the right fit for you — and which level of support makes the most sense based on your symptoms and timeline.
If we decide to move forward, we’ll outline clear next steps, including:
Which package best fits your needs
Whether functional testing is appropriate
What the first phase of support will look like
From there, everything is guided and shown step by step — you don’t need to have it all figured out before starting.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding what your body needs, the discovery call is where it begins.
-
Yes! All sessions are done virtually, so you can work with me from anywhere in the U.S.
-
Functional nutrition services are not typically covered by insurance, but I can provide receipts for HSA/FSA reimbursement where applicable.
