Our Processes
Getting started with functional nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. I want the process to feel straightforward, personal, and easy to understand from the beginning.

Jumpstart Call
The next step is a free 15-minute Jumpstart Call. We'll talk about what's been going on, what you're looking for, and any questions you may have. It's a chance to get to know me and learn more about how I work.
3. FIND YOUR NEXT STEP

Next Step
After our conversation, I'll help you determine what type of support makes the most sense for your needs and goals. We'll talk through the options and what working together could look like from there.
My Approach
I take a personalized approach to nutrition that looks at the bigger picture — your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and other relevant factors.
Looking at the Bigger Picture
Rather than focusing on one symptom or one piece of the puzzle, I want to understand the patterns that may be contributing to how you're feeling. That means looking at your health history, nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress, hormones, medications, lifestyle, and other factors that may be relevant to your individual situation.
Nutrition First
There's no replacement for a good diet. Food and nutrition are an important part of the work we do together, and recommendations are tailored to your needs, preferences, lifestyle, and goals.
Rather than giving everyone the same diet or list of foods to avoid, I focus on practical changes that can support your health and that you can realistically maintain.
Targeted Supplement Recommendations
Supplements may be helpful when there is a clear reason for using them. When appropriate, I may recommend targeted supplements based on your individual needs rather than starting with a long list of products.
The goal is to understand what may actually be useful for you and why.
Functional Lab Testing When Appropriate
Functional lab testing can sometimes provide additional information when we have a specific question we want to answer. Depending on your symptoms and health history, testing may be part of the evaluation.
I use testing purposefully — not simply because more information is always better. The goal is to gather information that can help us better understand patterns and potential contributing factors and guide the next steps.
Personalized Support
There isn't one diet, supplement plan, or protocol that works for everyone. Your recommendations should make sense for your body, your health history, and your life.
My goal is to help you understand what's going on, make informed choices, and focus on practical steps that move you forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We are out of network with all insurance companies, so payment for services is due at time of service.
If you have out-of-network (dietitian or specialist) benefits, you may be eligible for potential/partial reimbursement, in which case we will provide a “superbill” with the necessary billing and diagnosis codes. You would then be responsible for mailing in the superbill and any reimbursement would be sent directly to you.
Do you accept HSA/FSA funds?
Yes! Many HSA/FSA plans allow funds to be used towards visits, labs, and supplements.
What ages do you work with?
Carolina Functional Nutrition is a family wellness practice. We see adults and children.
How many sessions/visits will I need?
We offer both online/group programs as well as 1:1 coaching programs offering 4-6 sessions for a comprehensive solution to fast symptom relief as well as long-term prevention. Schedule a New Client Consult and we’ll help you decide the best option for your goals and budget.
What results can I expect?
We can’t guarantee exactly when you’ll feel better, but most clients find at least partial symptom relief within 1-2 weeks of starting the program, and continue to progress each month, with full or significant symptom resolution around the 3-4 month mark.
How do I contact you?
If you are a prospective client, send us an email at info@carolinafunctionalnutrition.com or call the office.
