I’m not here to replace your doctor — I work alongside conventional care, not instead of it. Your physician is essential for diagnosing disease and managing anything urgent. My role as a functional and integrative health practitioner is different: I look at how your diet, lifestyle, hormones, and gut health interact, using functional labs to catch imbalances before they become a diagnosis. Many clients keep their doctor and add me to their team for what conventional visits don’t have time to cover. You can see how this shows up across each of my care packages.

The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is one of the core functional labs I use to evaluate hormone health. Unlike a standard blood panel, it measures how your body produces and metabolizes hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone over a full day, giving a clearer picture of stress response, sleep issues, mood swings, fatigue, and cycle-related symptoms. It’s especially useful when your regular labs come back normal even though you don’t feel normal. I include the DUTCH Plus Hormone Test in several of my testing packages, and we review your results together afterward.

The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive stool test I use to assess gut health at a microbial level. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, parasites, yeast, and viruses, along with markers for digestive function, inflammation, and gut barrier integrity, sometimes called “leaky gut.” So many symptoms I see in my practice, from bloating and fatigue to skin issues and hormone imbalances, trace back to gut health, which is why the GI-MAP is one of the first labs I recommend. It’s included in my Signature and Deep Health packages, where we pair your results with a personalized plan.

Beyond the GI-MAP and DUTCH Test, I draw from a range of functional tests depending on what your body needs. That can include the Gut Zoomer for a deeper look at the gut microbiome and food sensitivities, Tiny Health for infant and toddler gut health, or panels through Vibrant Wellness for food sensitivities and other triggers. I don’t run every test on everyone. As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, my job is to help you choose the labs that actually answer your specific questions, which we map out together on my Services page.

Yes — I offer Total Tox Burden testing as part of my Deep Health package, which looks at biomarkers related to heavy metal and mycotoxin (mold-related) exposure. It’s not something I run for every client, since it’s most useful when environmental exposure is a genuine suspect based on your history and symptoms. If you’re concerned about toxin or mold exposure, we’ll discuss whether this test makes sense for you during your onboarding session, and I’ll always be upfront about what a given lab can and can’t tell us before you invest in it.

Yes — in fact, most of my clients are busy professionals and executives who don’t have time to feel this depleted. I built my practice around that reality: sessions happen by phone or video, labs are collected at home, and your personalized plan is recorded so you can revisit it on your own schedule. We focus on the changes that will move the needle fastest for someone with a demanding job, not a long list of overwhelming tasks. If you’re short on time but tired of feeling “off,” functional testing can actually save you time by getting to the root cause faster. Explore my packages to see what fits your schedule.

This is exactly the situation functional testing was built for. Conventional labs are designed to catch disease, so if nothing is flagged as abnormal, your doctor may tell you everything looks fine, even though you don’t feel fine. Functional testing, like the GI-MAP and DUTCH Test, looks at patterns and function rather than just disease markers, which is often where digestive, hormonal, and energy issues actually show up. I’ve worked with many clients who were told their labs were normal and still found real, actionable answers once we dug deeper. Take a look at my packages to see how we’d approach your specific symptoms.

I occasionally partner with companies who want to bring functional and integrative health support to their teams, especially for high-performing employees dealing with burnout, fatigue, or stress-related symptoms. Every corporate wellness collaboration looks a little different depending on your team’s needs and budget, from group workshops to individual consultations. If you’re interested in exploring this for your organization, the best next step is to reach out directly so we can talk through what would actually be useful for your employees.

Functional testing tells us what’s happening in your body; nutrition coaching and clean eating are how we act on it. Once we have your GI-MAP or DUTCH Test results, I translate the data into a practical, personalized eating and lifestyle plan, not a generic “eat clean” checklist, but specific changes based on what your gut, hormones, and energy actually need. Every package includes ongoing nutrition coaching sessions so we can adjust as you go and build habits that stick, through my care packages and regular follow-ups, rather than a one-time report you’re left to interpret alone.

I take a whole-body approach to weight management, whether or not you’re using a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic. These medications can be a helpful tool for some clients, but they don’t address the underlying gut, hormone, or nutrient issues that often drive weight struggles in the first place, and they come with their own considerations around muscle loss and nutrient intake. My role is to look at the full picture through functional labs and personalized nutrition, whether that’s supporting you alongside a GLP-1 prescribed by your doctor or addressing root causes as an alternative. We’ll map out the right approach together in my care packages.

Yes — I work with clients in person in NYC as well as virtually with clients across the country. Sessions, lab reviews, and follow-ups all happen just as effectively by video as they do in my office, and your labs are collected at home wherever you’re located. This flexibility is part of why functional testing works well for busy professionals and executives with limited time, whether you’re local to New York City or joining me from anywhere else. Wherever you’re based, the process stays the same.

Most functional lab results come back within two to three weeks of your sample collection, depending on the test. Once results are in, we schedule your personalized lab review session, where I walk you through your data and we build your wellness plan together, so you’re never left interpreting a report on your own. From your first onboarding session to having an actionable plan in hand, clients typically move through this process within four to six weeks. If you’re wondering whether you have time for this as a busy professional, this efficient timeline is part of the answer.

Getting started is simple: book a free Clarity Call through my online scheduler, a quick 30-minute conversation where we discuss your goals and see whether we’re a good fit, no pressure, no obligation. From there, if you’re ready to move forward, we’ll choose the package and testing that make the most sense for you. Not sure yet which option fits your needs and budget?
