Health feels
like a mystery?
It’s time to
decode it.
I uncover what’s behind your acne, anxiety, ADHD, or stubborn weight - and help you heal so you feel like you again.
What if your body is trying to tell you something?
You haven’t just been tired, anxious, inflamed or stuck at the same weight for no reason. You’ve been misled or ignored. You’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel good.
You’re not broken - your body is sounding the alarm.
Years of chasing quick fixes, only to feel worse, isn’t your fault. It’s the system’s.
My process uncovers the metabolic chaos, hormone disruptions, nervous system and gut imbalances that others overlook - and gives you a clear, custom path forward.
Every lab, every insight, every protocol brings you back to clarity, vitality and real healing.
Mood Swings, Skin Breakouts
Weight That Won’t Budge?
These symptoms aren’t random. They’re your body’s distress signals - and they’re rooted in deeper dysfunction.
When we listen closely, we discover what’s really going on:
Gut-brain imbalances. Hormonal misfires. A nervous system stuck in survival mode.
This isn’t just about relief - it’s about restoring what burnout, overwhelm, and guesswork have stripped away.
We calm inflammation. We rebalance neurotransmitters. We retrain your stress response.
From there, your body remembers how to heal.
Clearer skin. Sharper focus. Calmer moods. A metabolism that responds.
This is how your healing begins - by honoring what your symptoms have been trying to say all along.
Test, don’t guess. Hire a Health Detective.
Investigations need the right evidence. We’ll uncover the truth.
It starts with a lab kit and a little curiosity. I’ll help you uncover what’s going on beneath the surface using at-home functional lab testing to identify hidden stressors in your hormone, immune, digestive, and detox systems.
No rushing. No guesswork. Just clarity, step by step.
Symptom Guide

ADHD
What’s Causing It?
Gut-brain issues lowering dopamine and serotonin
Inflammation from hidden bugs and food triggers
Cortisol imbalance disrupting focus and mood
Blood sugar crashes mimicking ADHD symptoms
Nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode
Tests we run:
GI MAP – Finds gut bugs and imbalances disrupting brain chemistry
MRT Food Sensitivity – Flags foods driving inflammation and behavior swings
SHP – Tracks cortisol and DHEA to assess stress impact
Metabolic Wellness Profile – Checks detox, energy, and oxidative stress
Mucosal Barrier Assessment – Reveals gut lining damage and immune activation -

Bloating
What could be causing it?
Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or Candida.
Infections like H. pylori slowing digestion.
Low stomach acid or enzyme production.
Leaky gut causing reactivity to common foods.
Nervous system dysregulation affecting motility.
Tests we run:
GI MAP – full pathogen screen and digestive function.
MBA – to identify intestinal permeability.
MWP – to check digestive efficiency and detox burden.
MRT – for food sensitivities linked to bloating.
SHP – for cortisol/motility connection. -

Low Energy
What could be causing it?
Adrenal fatigue or burnout.
Mitochondrial dysfunction from oxidative stress.
Poor nutrient absorption.
Sleep disruption from cortisol imbalance.
Hidden infections draining reserves.
Tests we run:
SHP – to analyze energy rhythm through cortisol output.
MWP – to flag oxidative damage and mitochondrial function.
MBA – to identify leaky gut and poor absorption.
GI MAP – to detect infections that sap energy.
Metabolic Typing – to ensure proper fuel intake. -

Low Libido
What could be causing it?
Hormone imbalances: low testosterone or high estrogen.
Cortisol dominance suppressing sex hormones.
Chronic inflammation and poor circulation.
Poor liver detox interfering with hormone clearance.
Emotional or neurological dysregulation.
Tests we run:
SHP – full picture of sex and adrenal hormones.
MWP – to check detox, energy production, and blood sugar.
MBA – to rule out gut-driven inflammation.
GI MAP – to catch any hidden infections stealing vitality. -

Weight Gain
What could be causing it?
Cortisol resistance promoting fat storage.
Insulin resistance and poor glucose regulation.
Sluggish thyroid due to gut-liver dysfunction.
Nutrient depletion affecting metabolic rate.
Inflammatory foods impairing metabolic balance.
Tests we run:
MWP – for blood sugar, oxidative stress, and detox clues.
SHP – to assess cortisol, DHEA, and hormonal influence on fat metabolism.
Metabolic Typing – to align diet with bio-individual needs.
MRT – to remove metabolic disruptors from the diet.
GI MAP – for gut-based weight triggers.

Finding What’s Missing
After two decades in the fitness & health space, coaching 15,000+ hours and guiding hundreds with stress and sleep, I still felt something was missing. Then my son’s autism diagnosis shattered everything I thought I knew about wellness.

The Core Labs
These 5 foundational labs and Metabolic Typing® test are essential for us to find out what’s really going on with your body.
-
The Adrenal Stress and Hormone Panel is a simple saliva test that can be done at home.
We'll look at markers that give insight as to why you aren't sleeping, can't lose weight and are exhausted all of the time.
It will also look at your immune system and sex hormones -
The Gl Map is a simple, at home stool test that shows us why you're struggling with bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, reflux, stomach pain and increasingly new food sensitivities. The test will look at pathogens, viruses, fungus, good bacteria, enzymes, immunity and inflammation.
-
This at home dried blood test looks for intestinal permeability or leaky gut and can help us figure out why you have histamine issues or have a hard time digesting your food
-
This at home dry urine test will uncover any DNA damage that can be affecting levels of inflammation and premature aging. It also helps us determine if your liver is congested and your detoxification pathways are compromised.
-
This Mediator Release blood test (taken at a lab) looks at over 175 food proteins to see if your immune system is reacting to certain things you’re eating. If you suffer from mood swings, brain fog, low energy, skin issues, or stomach pain, this is particularly important.
-
The Metabolic Typing® Test is a personalized nutrition assessment that helps you understand how your unique body processes food for energy.
By identifying your specific metabolic type, it guides you toward the ideal balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to support better energy, digestion, mood, and overall health. It's not a diet-it’s a way to eat in alignment with your biology.
