I am a medical nutritionist with 30 years of clinical experience. Using an individualized approach to the evaluation and treatment of a wide array of conditions, my specialty is developing nutrition and lifestyle strategies to address health problems such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, mood and bowel disorders.
I practice integrative, functional medical nutrition therapy. During our work together, we will investigate what may be triggering the symptoms you have so that your program addresses the root cause of your condition rather than focusing on its down-stream effects. Functional medicine focuses on assessment and intervention related to the improvement of physiological, cognitive/emotional and physical functioning.
Only 30% of cancers are genetically determined- 70% are controlled by diet and lifestyle, so that puts you in the driver's seat. Let me empower you with effective, evidence-based strategies, inspire you to make changes that will nourish you and guide you as you continue your journey to healing.
Optimize your cancer treatment with cancer fighting foods, nutrients and botanicals to reduce side effects while enhancing the efficacy of your cancer therapies.Change the messages sent to your genes with specific foods known to reduce the expression of cancer genes while increasing tumor suppressor gene expression.

Using a functional model allows me to assess and address the nutritional common threads which may be linking your symptoms together. Cardiovascular risk beyond cholesterol, such as Lipoprotein particle size and oxidized LDL. Did you know that your blood level of Vitamin D is ideal at 50-70 ng/ml, not the 30-100 ng/ml reference range reported by most labs?
During our first visit, we will spend 60 minutes together (some people may require more time which is pro-rated- see Financial Policy ) discussing your present level of health, your medical history and your personal health goals. Nutritional testing may be ordered at that time. By the end of our appointment, you will have a preliminary program to follow for 4-5 weeks, until we meet again.
