History
All you need is FOOD! I was working as an engineer and feeling exhausted and sick due long working hours and stress. I knew how to eat healthy but lacked the time and energy to do it. I was looking for a program that would allow me to eat healthy, maintain a healthy weight, without calorie counting, starvation, and suffering. Just real food. Like my mother cooked when I was growing up. Unfortunately, the market is saturated with diet plans for weight loss but nothing to help me get healthy. So I decided to create one myself. I went on to get a Master's degree in clinical nutrition to understand the biochemistry of the human body and how nutrients can modify health and through methylation turn genes on and off. My clinical education allows me to go beyond the basics of healthy eating. I understand the root cause of disease and can help my clients restore equilibrium without pills or gimmicks. We serve Northern VA (Reston, Herndon, McLean, Vienna, Springfield, etc...).
Specialties
We specialize in type II diabetes (insulin resistance, high blood sugar, metabolic syndrome). We also work with ladies with PCOS, menopause, and hormonal imbalance that cause irregularities in fat or carbohydrate metabolism leading to diabetes or auto-immune disease (lupus, arthritis, MTHFr, thyroid dysfunction such as Hashimoto). Another one of our specialties is food allergies. Did you know that most people get autoimmune disease and inflammation due to food allergies? Leaky gut syndrome, Celiac, constipation, acid reflux, and gallbladder disease can all be linked to gluten or dairy intolerance among others. We look at the entire picture. We do a full physical exam, we exam blood work, we can even order nutritional and hormonal panels to test for inadequacies not apparent in your PCP's blood test. Armed with this information, we design a nutritional plan just for you with foods that are delicious, with the nutrients you need, and your health will improve from day ONE on the
