I'm passionate about food. Preparing food grounds me, and sharing a meal with others is nourishing in more ways than one. If you have inflammation and food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities, finding the right foods can be more challenging. But even then, the best diet is always one that includes the largest variety of nutritious foods that you can tolerate and enjoy.

Whether you follow a vegetarian, vegan, paleo, or any other diet without gluten, dairy, or soy, I'm here to guide you on your nutritional journey. What is good for one person may not be good for another. In addition, your nutritional needs change throughout your life and during times of illness, injury, and stress.

I love the detective work of figuring out what works best for you —
foods, preparation methods, nutrients, supplements, and lifestyle choices.

Hair mineral analysis

A number of minerals are essential for your body to maintain or regain health. Although they are called micronutrients (because they are found in relatively small amounts compared to macronutrients), they play a vital role in everything from sleep to nerve signaling to blood pressure to digestion. And the list goes on.  Because your body cannot make minerals, unlike certain vitamins and fatty acids, you must get them from your diet. Real, nutrient-dense foods are your best source.

Hair mineral analysis gets a bad rap because the quality of testing can vary greatly from lab to lab. In addition, environmental factors such as hair treatments and air pollution can affect the accuracy of results.

Let me introduce you to TrichAnalytics. Dr. Jennie Christensen and her team don't use contaminated hair strands here, but they have developed a new standard for hair root analysis. It's the only certified lab that uses laser technology to detect heavy metals, which is 400 times more sensitive than a blood test. Hair mineral analysis cannot diagnose a disease, but it can give you valuable insight into the state of your mineral balance.

  • Detects imbalances before they could become a problem

  • Measures whether your dietary changes have been effective

  • Monitors whether your supplement use is appropriate

  • Provides additional information about your hair health
