Services
Functional Nutrition
Our functional nutrition approach identifies root causes of chronic symptoms through comprehensive lab testing and personalized dietary interventions. We specialize in resolving gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and detoxification issues using science-based protocols. Clients receive customized meal plans, supplement recommendations, and lifestyle modifications tailored to their unique biochemical needs.
Gut Health Testing
Advanced gastrointestinal assessments include stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, and microbiome evaluation to diagnose underlying digestive disorders. We identify food sensitivities, pathogenic bacteria, and intestinal permeability issues to create targeted healing protocols. Our lab-guided interventions restore gut health through dietary changes, probiotics, and antimicrobial therapies.
Hormone Balance
We address hormone imbalances through adrenal stress testing, thyroid function analysis, and sex hormone profiling. Our protocols combine nutritional support, adaptogenic herbs, and lifestyle modifications to regulate cortisol levels and improve hormonal communication. Clients experience reduced fatigue, improved mood stability, and better metabolic function.
Detox Support
Our detox programs use organic acids testing and environmental toxin screening to identify biochemical burdens. Personalized detoxification protocols include nutrient supplementation, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments to enhance liver function and eliminate stored toxins. Clients report increased energy and improved cognitive clarity after completing our structured detox programs.
Lab Analysis
We utilize advanced diagnostic labs like Boston Heart and Great Plains to assess metabolic function, nutrient deficiencies, and systemic stressors. Testing includes comprehensive blood panels, food sensitivity analysis, and genetic markers for personalized treatment planning. Our practitioners interpret complex lab results to create actionable health improvement strategies.

One of the most knowledgeable and caring people I know. Goes above and beyond to make sure her clients get the best quality care. Every person is treated individually. Not a one size fit all that you see with today's nutrition experts. It's been an honor and a privilege to work with her. And am looking forward to the future with her.

I have been on the Adrenal Stress protocol for about three weeks and can already feel a difference with mental clarity. While studying for Organic Chemistry, I have been able to memorize, understand and pick up on things quicker than I ever have before!

Gayatri is so knowledgeable and very responsive. She swiftly honed in on my specific issues and was able to explain the details. I learned more in the initial sessions with her than in years of searching for help with fatigue and gut issues. Well-organized and supportive apps. I highly recommend her.
