WORK WITH ME
One practitioner. One-on-one. Built entirely around you.
I work exclusively in a one-to-one capacity because this work requires precision, not a template. Every decision we make is built from your labs, your history, your nervous system, and your life.
There are two ways to work with me. The Metabolic Restoration Program is my six-month signature program for the woman who is ready for the full work. The Metabolic Blueprint is a single-session starting point for the woman who needs clarity before she commits to anything longer.
Both start with a conversation.
If you're reading this, I already know a few things about you.
You’re smart. You’ve done the research. You’ve tried more approaches than you can count — low-carb, intermittent fasting, the next supplement protocol, another cleanse, another program. You’ve read the books. You’ve seen the practitioners. You’ve probably been told, by a doctor with a sympathetic shrug, that your labs “look normal” — even though you feel anything but.
You’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t seem to fix. Your jeans fit differently than they did a year ago, and nothing you used to do is moving the needle. Your digestion has become unpredictable — bloating, heaviness, a gut that seems to have opinions about food you’ve eaten your whole life. Your cycle is off, or erratic, or brutal. Your mood runs hot. Your brain feels like it’s buffering.
And somewhere underneath all of it, quieter than you’d admit out loud, is the feeling that you don’t quite trust your own body anymore.
You are not the problem. The approach was.
I want you to hear that, because it matters more than anything else on this page. The reason nothing has worked long-term isn’t because you lack discipline, or willpower, or the “right” information. It’s because the approaches you’ve been handed were never built for how your body actually works — especially not now, in this chapter, with the hormonal shifts you’re navigating.
The work I do is different. Not louder. Not more extreme. Different. In sequence, in philosophy, and in what we measure.
The cycle you've been caught in (and why it keeps repeating)
Most programs you’ve tried ask your body to do something hard. Restrict, cleanse, cut, detox and eliminate before they’ve done anything to help your body feel safe. And here’s the piece almost nobody explains:
A body that doesn't feel safe will not let go. Not of weight. Not of inflammation. Not of the patterns it's been using to protect you.
So the cycle goes something like this. You start strong on a plan. You white-knuckle your way through the first two or three weeks. You see a little movement. And then, life happens. Stress spikes. Sleep slips. The plan breaks. You tell yourself Monday. You start again. You go harder this time. And somewhere in the middle of it, a quiet voice says, “what is wrong with me?”
Nothing is wrong with you. Your body is responding, intelligently, to a strategy that asks it to push when what it actually needs is to steady
Here's what's actually happening inside your body
Your body is not a collection of separate systems you can fix one at a time. Your gut talks to your hormones. Your hormones talk to your nervous system. Your nervous system decides how your metabolism, your sleep, your mood, and your weight will behave today. When one of those systems is under stress, every other system compensates.
That’s why eliminating a food group can shift bloating temporarily — but not fix it. Why a cortisol-calming supplement can take the edge off — but not restore your cycle. Why another “clean eating” reset can help for a month — and then your body finds its way right back.
You don’t have a willpower problem. You have a sequencing problem. The pieces are being addressed in the wrong order, in isolation, without the information your body is trying to give you.
What my work is built on:
- Regulate the nervous system first — your body has to feel safe before it will heal.
- Nourishment over restriction — fuel your body consistently so it stops protecting you from what it thinks is a famine.
- Understanding over guessing — we test, we look at the actual data, and we make decisions based on what your body is telling us.
- Consistency over perfection — the goal is a way of living you can sustain, not another protocol you white-knuckle and abandon.
Two Ways to Work Together
A 6-month, one-to-one journey. Four phases. Built in the order your body actually needs them.
Whether you’re ready for the full six months or you want to understand your body before committing to a longer program, there’s a place to start.
THE SIGNATURE PROGRAM
The Metabolic Restoration Program
A 6-month, 1:1 journey. Four phases. Built in the order your body actually needs them.
The Metabolic Restoration Program is a whole-body approach to root-cause healing for the woman who is done chasing symptoms. It’s the work I’ve refined over years of practice, built specifically for the woman in her mid-thirties to mid-forties whose body has quietly stopped responding to the old rules.
Every phase builds on the one before it. We don’t skip steps. We don’t ask your body to clear anything it isn’t ready to clear. We don’t strip nutrients out before we’ve built your foundation up. The sequence is the medicine.
The Method at a Glance
Phase 1: Reveal →
See the whole picture. Functional testing and a deep dive into your history, symptoms, and metabolic type, so we stop guessing.
Phase 2: Regulate →
Safety before strategy. Steady your blood sugar, calm your nervous system, restore your sleep, and build consistent nourishment.
Phase 3: Release →
Clear what’s been blocking you. Open your body’s natural drainage and clearing pathways, then address what’s been sitting underneath — in the gut, the microbiome, the inflammation.
Phase 4: Rebuild →
build something that lasts. Repair the gut lining, restore the beneficial bacteria, support hormone balance, and create the resilience that keeps you steady long after our work together ends.
What Each Phase Looks Like In Practice
REVEAL & REGULATE
This is the phase most programs skip — and it’s the reason they fail. In the first two weeks I order a full set of functional labs to see what’s actually happening in your gut, hormones, stress response, and metabolic type. While we wait for results, we steady the foundation: blood sugar, nervous system, sleep, and consistent nourishment. By the end of these phases most women feel steadier than they have in years and for the first time.
PREPARE TO RELEASE
This is the step that keeps you from ever experiencing a “healing crisis.” Before we ask the body to release anything, we gently open the pathways it uses to clear: your liver, your lymph and your digestion. We remove the specific foods your testing flagged as inflammatory and reduce the toxic load coming in from your environment, so your immune system can come down out of alarm mode. This is the phase where the heaviness starts to lift.
RELEASE
Now, and only now, we address the deeper imbalances your testing uncovered: opportunistic bacteria, microbiome shifts, the inflammation that’s kept your hormones off-kilter. Because your foundation is solid and your drainage is open, your body can do this work without burning through its reserves. This is the phase where stubborn symptoms that have shadowed you for years begin to resolve. Pace matters more than aggression — we move at the speed your body is ready for.
REBUILD
Most women have done “healing” before. What they’ve almost never done is the rebuilding that comes after. We repair the gut lining, restore the beneficial bacteria, support hormone balance, and gradually reintroduce the foods we removed — so you leave with the widest possible diet, not the narrowest. By the end, you have your own personal blueprint: a clear map of what your body needs, what your warning signs are, and what to do when something shifts.
What’s Included Inside The Metabolic Restoration Program
This is a one-to-one program, which means everything is built around you: your labs, your history, your nervous system, your life. Here’s what you can expect to receive when you say yes.
Personalized 1:1 sessions
A structured, regular cadence of one-to-one sessions across the six months — held with the depth and presence this work requires.
Comprehensive functional lab testing
A full set of functional labs to look at your gut, hormones, stress response, food sensitivities, and metabolic type. We review every result together so you understand what your body is actually telling us.
A personalized phase-by-phase plan
Each phase comes with a custom plan built from your data, your nutrition rhythm, your nervous-system practices, your supplement protocol, and the small daily inputs your body responds to.
Targeted supplement protocols
Only the supplements your lab data says you need, in the right order, for the right length of time. No guesswork, no cabinet full of bottles.
Email support between sessions
You don’t have to wait for a session to ask a question. Between calls, you have access to email me for questions.
Written materials and resources
Everything we work on is captured in living documents. Your protocols, your reintroduction map, your personal blueprint, so nothing lives only in your memory.
Investment details are shared on our Program Consultation Call, where I can speak to what’s the right fit for where you are.
Let me tell you what this isn't
I’m going to be honest with you, because the worst thing I could do is let you invest in something that isn’t right for you.
- This isn’t a quick fix. — The body that got here didn’t get here overnight, and the healing that actually holds doesn’t happen overnight either. If you need to be three pounds lighter by next Saturday, I’m not your person.
- This isn’t a generic protocol. — You will not be handed the same plan the woman before you received. Every decision we make is built from your labs, your history, your nervous system, and your life.
- This isn’t restrictive dieting in better clothing. — We nourish. We remove only what your testing shows is driving inflammation, and only for as long as your gut needs. We add more than we take away.
- This isn’t me handing you rules and wishing you luck. — You’ll have structure, support, and a clear map — and I’ll be walking it with you.
Who this is for
This program is built for you if you are:
- A woman in her mid-thirties to mid-forties who is feeling the hormonal shift of perimenopause and knows, in her gut, that the old rules have stopped working.
- Smart, capable, and ready to understand what’s actually happening in your body — not just be told what to do.
- Done chasing quick fixes. Ready to do the real work in the right order.
- Willing to take ownership of your healing — while being supported, guided, and held to the structure that will actually get you there.
- Someone who values being consistent over being perfect, and who wants a relationship with food and her body that feels calm, sustainable, and her own.
Who this probably isn't for
I say this gently, because it matters. This program isn’t the right fit if you’re looking for a quick win, if you want to pick and choose which parts of the plan to follow, or if you’re not ready to show up consistently — including when progress is quieter than you’d like it to be. Real healing requires a container, and this one is a real one.
THE STARTING POINT
The Metabolic Blueprint
A One-Time Strategic Clarity Session
The Metabolic Blueprint is a focused, one-on-one session designed to help you understand how your body responds to food, stress, movement, and recovery — and why what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working.
This is not a generic nutrition assessment. It’s a structured metabolic review that gives you personalized direction across diet, rest, exercise, and stress regulation — without complex protocols or lab testing. You’ll leave with clear, actionable guidance you can implement on your own.
This session is best suited for women who:
Feel low energy or “off” despite trying to eat well. Are confused by conflicting nutrition advice and want someone to look at their specific situation. Want personalized clarity without committing to a longer program. Are not currently navigating complex or chronic illness.
If you move into the Metabolic Restoration Program within 30 days, your Blueprint investment is applied toward your program.

This is a conversation, not a pitch, so I can hear what’s been going on and you can ask me anything. By the end, both of us will know whether this is the right next step for you. If it’s not, I’ll tell you, and I’ll often have a thought about what is.
FAQ
Why is the Metabolic Restoration Program 6 Months?
Because anything shorter is asking your body to skip steps. The four phases each need their own time — to reveal, to regulate, to release, to rebuild. Compressing the timeline doesn’t speed up the healing; it just moves us back into the cycle of pushing past what your body is actually ready for. Six months is what the work needs to hold.
How often will we meet?
We meet on a regular cadence across the six months, with the rhythm shifting slightly by phase — more closely in the foundational and release phases when course-corrections matter most, and a gentler cadence as you move into integration. We’ll talk through the specific schedule on our connection call.
Are the labs included in the program cost?
Yes — your functional labs are included in the total program investment. If you choose a monthly payment plan, your lab fees and your first month’s program fee are due at sign-up, with the remaining program fees spread across the months that follow. We’ll walk through everything together on our connection call. The labs are a meaningful part of this work — they’re what let us stop guessing — and I’ll never run anything we don’t actually need.
Is this in-person or virtual?
Sessions are 100% virtual nationwide, which means we can do this work no matter where you are. Labs are completed at home or at a local lab depending on the panel. Everything you need is shipped to you or scheduled around your life.
What if I’m taking medications or working with other practitioners?
That’s welcome and often helpful. This work is designed to sit alongside the care you already have — not replace it. I don’t make medication decisions, and I’ll happily coordinate with your other providers when that supports the work we’re doing together.
What happens after the six months end?
Most women leave the program knowing exactly how to keep this work going on their own. For those who want continued support, I offer a way to stay connected; we can talk about that when the time comes.
What if my body doesn’t move at the “standard” pace?
Then we move at your pace. The phases are a structure, not a stopwatch. Some women move through the foundation work quickly; some need longer in regulation before we ask the body to release. My job is to read what your body is telling us and adjust — that’s the whole point.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Book a connection call. There’s no pitch and no pressure — it’s a conversation, so I can hear what’s been going on and you can ask me anything. By the end, both of us will know whether this is the right next step for you. If it’s not, I’ll tell you, and I’ll often have a thought about what it is.
A last thing, from me to you
If you’ve read this far, something in here resonated. Maybe more than something. You don’t need to decide anything today. You don’t need to have it all figured out.
What I want you to take with you is this: the reason nothing has worked long-term is not because of you. It’s because you’ve been handed the wrong strategy, in the wrong order, for the body you’re living in now.
You don’t need more discipline. You need the right approach in the right order. One built for how your body actually works.
When you’re ready to talk, I’m here. We’ll start with a conversation, no pressure, no pitch. Just a chance to tell me what’s bene going on and see, together, whether this is the right next step for you.
