"First of all,I want to thank you for the compassion you have for people. For those who don’t know me I was stricken with RA in my early thirties and I am also a disabled veteran. I am 66 years old and have battled with a lot of stomach issues,many corrective surgeries due to RA and struggled with my weight. I can’t afford to gain weight it worsens my pain. So when you educated me on having a health gut I tried your recommendations. It works. Then you introduced me to lean and healthy foods. I started lean in November 2024. I weighed 196 pounds today I weigh 173 pounds. Thank you for all you do. You are always there for me if I question you answer them. TYSM for caring. Love you girl🙏🙏❤️❤️ "

"I’ve been frustrated with the direction that modern medicine is going with so much emphasis on treating symptoms with pharmaceutical medications vs. finding the root cause and addressing the real issues of body illness. So I reached out to Kim and we had a very candid conversation about my very own health and wellness concerns. She was able to give me recommendations for lifestyle changes and supplements that could help my body function better and I am forever grateful for her advice! She’s very knowledgeable and understanding. You don’t want to pass up an opportunity to talk with her…it’s totally worth it!"

"Kimberly has had a major challenge with me as my issues go back my entire life. We are making a breakthrough on my GI health and I’m looking forward to getting my microbiome well with her help. This is an amazing program and Kimberly is so patient and knowledgeable. Truly she is the first provider to ever tell me that I needed to eat more calories! All of my life I’ve heard “eat less, move more” and when she told me that my weight and gut problems aren’t in my head, I was in tears. Thank you, Kimberly, for your direction. I’m eager to see the outcome!"

"Kim is amazing!! While she does a wonderful job as a CRNA, she never hesitates to help her friends in need!! Myself and my hubby has had some medical issues in the past and Kim has always helped me to understand lab results and always there to offer healthy solutions to the problem vs always taking a pill! She has a vast knowledge of how your body works and how everything you eat and do can affect that and makes it very easy to understand. I have watched her grow in this field and work super hard to accomplish her goals of being able to help others. Her passion is to get everyone she can healthy!!"

Choose the level of functional medicine support you need—private guidance, a supportive group program, or data-driven labs to finally get answers.
1:1 Health Consults
Private, personalized support to help you uncover what’s driving your symptoms and build a clear plan you can actually follow. We’ll connect the dots between your energy, digestion, hormones, cravings, and weight—then map out your next steps with confidence.
Personalized roadmap based on your symptoms, history, and goals
Clear next steps for food, lifestyle, and targeted support (no more guessing)
Group Program
A guided step-by-step program with education, structure, and accountability—so you’re not trying to figure it out alone. You’ll learn the core foundations of healing (gut, metabolism, hormones, detox, and cellular energy) while getting coaching support to apply it to your real life.
Weekly guidance + coaching support to help you stay consistent
Foundations that support gut, hormones, metabolism, detox, and energy production
Functional Lab Testing
Advanced, root-cause lab testing that goes beyond “normal” labs—so we can see what your body has been trying to tell you. Perfect if you want data, clarity, and a targeted strategy instead of guessing or trying random supplements.
Core Health Panel: comprehensive bloodwork (70+ markers) to uncover root drivers of fatigue, weight resistance, inflammation, thyroid/hormone patterns, and more
Mineral Panel (HTMA): mineral balance + stress patterns that impact energy, cravings, metabolism, and detox capacity
Supplement Protocols
Customized supplement plans based on your symptoms, history, and labs—built for results, not a giant shopping list. You’ll get a clear protocol (what to take, why it matters, and how long) so your body gets the support it actually needs.
Targeted plan: what to take, why it matters, and the right order to start
Simple, realistic routine so you get results without a cabinet full of bottles

I Believe Health Is About More Than Willpower
I don’t believe your symptoms are just in your head—or that you need to push harder, eat less, or just “deal with it.”
I believe your body is talking to you—through the bloating, the fatigue, the weight that won’t budge—and it’s time someone finally listened.
As a PhD in holistic nutrition, and a woman who’s been through this herself, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root.
Your gut, your hormones, and your cells all work together—and when one is out of balance, everything feels off.
But the good news? When we start supporting them the right way, your whole body can shift.
Yes, even if it hasn’t budged in years.
