Hi, I’m Lisa!
I'm a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner (FDN-P).
I've been there. For years, I couldn't sleep through the night. I was tired all the time and my energy was dwindling. I was steadily gaining weight no matter how much I worked out and no matter how many juice cleanses I did. I had increasing hip pain and 3 hip surgeries in 5 years…..then pneumonia. I lost my energy, and with it - my passion and zest for life.
I saw doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors and specialists, but no one could tell me why I felt so bad! Test after test, I was offered prescription after prescription (even though I was clear I wanted to be drug free) and advice like, "you're healthy and have so much going for you! Get a message, try meditation and maybe the Mediterranean diet would be good for you!" As if I hadn't already tried those things!
At the end of my rope, I found energy medicine, which changed my life and helped me get out of Fight or Flight and healed old traumas. Energy medicine led me to something called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. As I became a certified practitioner, I ran a series of cutting-edge functional lab tests on myself and discovered that my hormones, digestion, and diet were all a mess! Using the patented D.R.E.S.S.® protocol and energy medicine techniques while addressing the imbalances found on my lab work, I now feel better than I ever have. I want that for you too!

Functional diagnostic nutrition.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) is referred to as an "opt in model of self care". That means that I am not a licensed health professional. I don't diagnose, treat, or prescribe. I'm just a teacher and a guide, and I can teach you how to know your body so well that you can confidently become your own health practitioner.
Allopathic medicine involves drugs, radiation or surgery to mitigate symptoms. Why not try prevention and the natural route? FDN is a proven method of functional health building and resolving chronic issues.
Imagine being so confident in what your body is trying to tell you that you don't need to seek out any more doctors, supplements, workouts, or lab tests. By working with me for 3-6 months, you'll be able to achieve a level of health freedom you have never thought possible. I know because I've done it myself, and have guided many clients through the same process with great success.

how it works
We'll start with a short, free discovery call where we'll get to know each other, chat about your goals, and see if we're a match made in wellness heaven.
Then, we'll dive into a 1:1 coaching package. (Group offerings are coming in 2025). I'll guide you along the process with regular meetings. As we get to know each other, we'll be running a series of at-home functional lab tests that will help us uncover answers to the health questions that have confused you for so long.
We'll be working on implementing the right diet for you, while balancing your macro and micronutrients.
We'll work on a balanced exercise regimen.
We'll dive into practical ways to manage stress and any hormone imbalance you may be suffering from!
We’ll explore simple hacks to help you manage stress in your life through basic energy work practices like breathwork, grounding, gratitude practices and more.
We'll optimize your sleep and digestion.
All of this takes time, so I ask my clients to really commit, and work with me for 3-5 months.
Let's talk labs! Here are the five foundational functional lab tests I'll help you run.
-
stress + hormones panel
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.
-
GI Map (gut test)
The GI 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.
-
MRT Food sensitivity Test
This blood test looks at over 175 different 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, you'll benefit.
-
Mucosal Barrier Assessment
This at home dried blood spot test looks for intestinal permeability and can help us figure out why you have histamine issues or have a hard time digesting your food.
-
Metabolic Wellness Profile
The MWP helps us figure out if you have 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.
These five labs give us a good picture of what is going in your body and help us resolve your metabolic chaos. Because other labs are popular, I’ve add a selection of a few other functional tests that we can run for further investigation, or substitution, if necessary. If you know you have a thyroid issue, for example, we will choose the right labs for you.
-
Metabolic Typing Test
This test helps you determine the optimal protein, fat and carb ratios you need at every meal. Optimal foods are offered based on your type. This is an online test that uses a sophisticated algorithm you can do at home!
-
Dutch Complete
Offering an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones and melatonin, along with their metabolites, this test identifies advanced symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Easily collected in the comfort of your own home!
-
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
The HTMA identifies mineral imbalances, screens for heavy metal toxicity, assesses overall health and wellness, and provides insights into metabolic function.
-
Advanced Thyroid Panel
A comprehensive thyroid blood test assesses key markers of thyroid health. It also evaluates thyroid antibodies to detect potential autoimmune conditions. This detailed analysis helps uncover imbalances and provides a clearer picture of your thyroid function.
-
Comprehensive Wellness Panel
This test includes a comprehensive metabolic panel, cardiac risk assessment, A1C, an advanced Thyroid panel, a lipid panel, cholesterol panel, mineral assessments and more!

Yes! I've worked with clients who suffer from a number of issues that traditional medicine has no answers for. I can help you naturally move your body from a state of dysfunction to a state of function.

Rebalancing the body takes time. Likely you've been feeling unwell for months or years, and it will take at least a few months for us to begin to turn your health around together. I make no guarantees, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort I ask of you, positive changes in energy, mood, sleep, weight, libido, and digestion can occur in as little as a few weeks.
