Exhausted, Stressed, and Told
Your Labs Are Normal?
You are not alone. Chronic stress quietly depletes the nutrients, hormones, and gut health your body depends on to function well. Functional nutrition investigates what conventional workups often miss: the underlying drivers of how you actually feel.

Your Numbers Look Fine.
You Don't Feel Fine.
Many clients arrive having received partial answers, prescriptions that don't fully resolve their symptoms, or a clean bill of health that doesn't match how they feel day to day. Over time, chronic stress shows up as weight that won't budge, mood that feels flat, energy that never fully returns, and a body that doesn't feel like yours anymore.
Functional nutrition asks a different question. It looks past what is wrong and asks why it's happening, and what your body specifically needs to heal.
Conditions Commonly Addressed
The Client Journey
What Working Together Looks Like
Root cause care follows a clear path: investigate, build, refine. Here's how it unfolds from your first intake forward.
Intake & Comprehensive Health History
Before your first appointment, you'll complete a detailed intake questionnaire covering your full health history, symptoms, medications, supplements, diet, lifestyle, and goals. This forms the foundation of your individualized care plan.
First Appointment: Root Cause Analysis
Your first visit is an in-depth clinical consultation. Heidi reviews your intake materials, identifies patterns and underlying drivers of your symptoms, and begins building a personalized protocol. Testing and labs are ordered when clinically indicated.
Targeted Protocol Development
Based on your assessment, a personalized plan is developed addressing nutrient repletion, gut microbiome restoration, targeted gut healing, and a fully abundant yet specific food plan tailored to your individual needs.
Follow-Up Visits & Ongoing Refinement
Follow-up appointments track your progress, review lab or test results, and refine your protocol as your body responds. The pace of follow-up is individualized to your case complexity and goals.
Core Clinical Focus Areas
Where the Investigation Goes
Every protocol draws from these clinical tools. Which ones apply, and in what order, depends on your testing, your history, and how your body responds.
Food Sensitivity Testing
MRT testing identifies inflammatory food and chemical reactions driving your symptoms, forming the basis for a unique and targeted approach to food and symptom management.
Lab & Functional Testing
Labs are ordered when appropriate to uncover nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic dysfunction that standard panels often miss.
Nutrient Repletion
Targeted repletion of depleted nutrients is central to restoring function and resolving symptoms that standard care often overlooks entirely.
Gut Microbiome Restoration
Protocols address the gut as a root driver of systemic health, supporting microbial diversity, intestinal integrity, and digestive function.
Targeted Gut Healing
Specific therapeutic interventions repair the gut lining, reduce intestinal inflammation, and address the root causes of leaky gut, malabsorption, and chronic digestive symptoms.
Targeted Herbal Therapies
Evidence-informed herbal and botanical interventions support hormone balance, stress resilience, inflammation reduction, and overall vitality where clinically appropriate.
Before You Begin
What Every Potential Client Should Know
Being told "you're fine" is the start of the investigation, never the end.
Many of Heidi's clients come in after years of being dismissed or under-treated. Functional nutrition looks deeper.
This is root cause care.
Heidi investigates why your symptoms exist, going beyond how to suppress them. The goal is resolution, with a clear endpoint rather than indefinite management.
Your protocol will be individualized.
No two clients receive the same plan. Testing results, health history, and response to treatment all shape your care.
Functional nutrition requires your active participation.
Dietary changes, testing, and follow-through between appointments are essential to outcomes.
Heidi brings 25+ years of clinical experience.
This includes post-graduate training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) credentialing, and a research background as a principal investigator.
Healing takes time.
Clients who see the most significant results are those who commit to the full protocol and stay engaged across follow-up visits.
Meal planning support is included.
Practical guidance on what and how to eat, within the context of your individual protocol, is a core part of care.
