From the practitioner: About My Practice

I'm a registered dietitian, a masters-trained genetic counselor, and the owner of Nutrition Decode, LLC with over 15 years of healthcare clinical experience. I provide personalized nutrition care for chronic disease, enhanced by the use of genetic testing in a virtual, telehealth setting. We are all genetically different, and these differences can affect the way our bodies metabolize food, handle stress and toxins, and respond to illness. Nutritional genetic testing can provide insight on why you have specific health-related struggles and offer powerful guidance on how to overcome them. Using the function medicine approach and nutrition counseling, my goal is to help you feel better through education, accountability, and support.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

As my client, you can expect focused, personalized care as we work together toward your goals. The initial intake involves a deep dive into your health and family histories, your current struggles, and detailed exploration of your goals, hopes, and wishes. If necessary, we’ll first address gut issues while considering a genetic analysis to gain insight on how your body works. Once nutrigenomics test results are available, we incorporate them into the nutrition plan, using your unique biology as a guide. Over time, you will make progress towards your goals, overcome obstacles, begin to feel better and create a healthier path towards wellbeing, health resiliency, and longevity. Consultations occur virtually in a HIPAA compliant setting.
