Your symptoms are part of a bigger story.
Digestion, hormones, stress, sleep and nutrition don't work in isolation. I help you see how they connect, so you can support your whole body with a personalized wellness plan.
You know your body. You know when something is off.
- Your symptoms don't seem connected, but they keep adding up.
- You've been told everything looks "normal."
- You've tried a lot, and you want to understand why.
- You want a plan built for you, not another quick fix.
What is your body trying to tell you?
Symptoms are information. These are some of the most common reasons people reach out.
Your body is interconnected.
- Digestion affects more than digestion.
- Stress affects more than stress.
- Sleep affects more than sleep.
- Nutrition affects more than nutrition.
Rather than looking at one symptom in isolation, we look at the bigger picture and identify opportunities to support your body's systems as a whole.
Your gut is part of the bigger picture.
Digestion does more than process food. How well your gut works can affect how you absorb nutrients, how your immune system responds, and how much energy you have. When bloating, reflux, constipation or food reactions show up, we look at what may be contributing and how it connects to the rest of you.

Weight changes rarely come down to willpower. Nutrition, blood sugar, hormones, sleep, stress and activity can all play a role. We look at your whole health picture and build habits that support your metabolism, without shame and without crash diets.

My approach is built on four ideas. Together they help you understand your body and feel confident caring for it.
Listen
Your symptoms, history, lifestyle, goals and experiences all matter. We start there.
Investigate
When appropriate, functional testing adds information about what may be happening inside your body.
Personalize
Your recommendations are built around your own health picture, not a template.
Empower
You leave understanding your body better and feeling confident managing your health.

Support

When you want more than a guess.
Functional labs are a tool for gathering information. Alongside your history and symptoms, they can help identify areas that may warrant attention, so we know where to focus your support. They aren't used to diagnose disease.
Labs are one piece of the bigger picture. We always read results alongside your history, symptoms and lifestyle, and I support your body broadly so progress doesn't depend on finding one single cause.

The person behind the practice.
Hospital medicine taught me how to care for complex illness. Functional health taught me to ask what came before it.
After nine years caring for patients in the hospital, I wanted to help people earlier, before things became serious. I believe God designed the body with an amazing, built-in ability to heal. My work is to teach you how your body works and give you the tools to support what it was created to do.
Read my storyGood questions.
See all questionsDo you work with clients outside South Carolina?
Yes. Everything happens virtually, so I work with clients across the U.S. Lab kits ship to your home.
Do I need to stop seeing my doctor?
No. I provide education and wellness support and don't diagnose, treat or prescribe. Keep working with your medical provider, and let them know about any changes you make.
How do the lab tests work?
Four are simple kits you complete at home. One is a blood draw, done at a local lab or by a phlebotomist of your choice. Kits are timed to arrive when you're home.
