Science-Backed, Bullsh*t-Free, and Built for You

First, I’ll shut up & listen.

When was the last time someone sat down with you and truly listened to what you’re experiencing and feeling?
Because let’s be real: wellness influencers don’t know your story, diet plans aren’t built for your body, and doctors often don’t have the time to dig deeper.

Before I give you any kind of advice or program, I’ll start by listening to your story, what your lifestyle is like, and who you are.

Seriously YUMMY food. (Even if you suck at cooking.)

I get it: not everyone enjoys cooking or has the time to make extravagant meals.

But that doesn’t mean that you can’t eat nourishing, delicious food. I create meal plans for you that suit your lifestyle, cooking abilities, and culture — and help you achieve your health goals.

One-size-fits-all? Nuh-uh.

You’re unique, and your care should be too. Understanding your story helps me support you in a way that actually fits your life.

Maybe you need someone who gets how trauma can shape your relationship with food, who approaches weight loss with care and nuance, or who can create meal plans that truly work with your dietary needs.

Whatever you’re navigating — I’m here for it, and I’m here for you.

I’ll never just hand out a meal plan and point to the door.

Because health is SO MUCH MORE than just knowing what you should be eating. Diet, mindset, exercise, and lifestyle all work together to help you feel your best, so I make sure to focus on ALL aspects.

IT’S IN YOUR DNA.

DNA-TESTING-BASED NUTRITION

What is DNA-based testing?

DNA testing is a powerful tool for personalizing your health plan based on your unique genetic makeup.

It’s the only method that can quickly identify which foods, supplements, movement styles, and habits truly support—or potentially hinder—your body.

While I can guide you effectively without it, genetic testing adds a new level of precision. It removes guesswork, saves time and money, and helps us fast-track what actually works for you.

It’s also a great proactive approach, as we can see how certain nutrition and lifestyle choices will affect your body 10, 20, or 30 years from now — and act on them today.

Waiting until symptoms appear means the damage may already be well underway—and far more difficult, costly, and time-consuming to reverse.

Genetic insights give us the chance to take meaningful, preventative action today—before problems arise.

In short, genetic testing uncovers your body’s unique blueprint—how you process nutrients, handle stress, detoxify, and more—so we can work with your biology, not against it.

What are the benefits of doing DNA testing?

No more guessing. We get to the root of your body’s needs — from how you metabolize carbs and fats, to how your genes affect hunger hormones or your response to caffeine, alcohol, exercise, recovery, or certain supplements.

It explains what others miss. Many of my clients come to me saying, “I’ve tried everything, but nothing works.” Often, their DNA reveals why certain diets or routines haven’t worked — and what will.

It’s empowering. Clients love the clarity and confidence it gives them. It's no longer about willpower — it’s about working with your biology to feel your best.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?

  1. Simple cheek swab. A DNA kit is mailed to your home (anywhere in the world). You swab the inside of your cheek — no blood, no pain — and return it in a prepaid envelope.

  2. Private & secure. I only work with certified medical labs that never sell or share your genetic information (unlike services like 23andMe).

  3. Deep dive report. Once your results are ready, I walk you through a 50+ page report and give you clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your goals.

  4. Fully integrated support. We incorporate your genetic insights into your ongoing nutrition and lifestyle plan — alongside your symptoms, labs, mindset, and real-life routines.

You might benefit from DNA-testing-based nutrition if…

You feel like you’ve “tried everything, but nothing works”

If you feel like you’re doing everything “right”—eating well, exercising, taking supplements—but still don’t feel your best, DNA testing can uncover hidden factors that standard approaches miss.

You want your nutrition & lifestyle plan to be as personalized and precise as possible

Because it’s based on your unique genetic makeup, DNA-testing-based nutrition is as personalized as it gets.

You have a family history of health conditions

If your parents or siblings have heart disease, diabetes, or other chronic illnesses, DNA testing can help you take targeted, early action based on your own risk profile.

You're an athlete or fitness enthusiast

DNA testing helps you understand how your body builds muscle, recovers, and metabolizes different types of exercise so you can train smarter, not harder.

You’re overwhelmed by conflicting advice

If you’re overwhelmed by advice about supplements & diets, your genetic data can help pinpoint which nutrients you truly need—and which ones might be doing more harm than good.

You’re a high achiever and easily burn out

If you’re under constant stress, your genes may reveal how your nervous system responds and what kinds of support (like adaptogens, exercise types, or sleep patterns) your body truly needs.

YOUR GENES HOLD ANSWERS.

This is where I shine — I’ve been trained in nutrigenomics and behaviour change, and I specialize in turning complex science into simple, empowering steps that work for you.
