Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition counseling addresses chronic conditions like diabetes and inflammation through functional medicine approaches. Services include dietary analysis, supplement guidance, and meal planning tailored to individual health goals. Our evidence-based programs integrate weight loss medications and metabolic testing for optimized outcomes.
Metabolic Testing
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing determines precise caloric needs using advanced breath analysis technology. This 10-minute test informs personalized weight management strategies by measuring individual energy expenditure and metabolic efficiency for accurate diet planning.
Cooking Classes
Hands-on cooking instruction teaches practical skills for preparing anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense meals. Classes focus on disease-preventing recipes and techniques for individuals with specific dietary needs, emphasizing whole foods and kitchen confidence building.
Micronutrient Testing
Advanced cellular-level testing identifies vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant deficiencies affecting health outcomes. This functional assessment guides targeted supplementation and dietary adjustments to address conditions like fatigue, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders.
Weight Management
Comprehensive weight loss programs combine medical nutrition therapy with behavioral strategies. Services include GLP-1 medication support, body composition analysis, and sustainable lifestyle modifications addressing hormonal imbalances and metabolic resistance.

Tina helped me to lose weight, reverse high blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammatory markers through realistic lifestyle change that I felt I could maintain. I was also able to discontinue my cholesterol medicine. She performed a resting metabolic rate test so I could see how many calories my body was burning, and also prescribed micronutrient testing so we could use targeted supplements as an adjunct to help me reach my goals. The prescribed strength training program has really helped me to build muscle, and favorably change my body composition. My doctors are very happy with the results,

As a physical therapist, I know that to feel your best having a good diet is key. Even more important is having the right plan with the right foods, which may not be the same for everyone. Most people believe they know what to do when it comes to eating right, but I can tell you respectfully, you dont know what you dont know. That is why to feel and perform your best, one of the most helpful and healthful things you can do for yourself is work with Tina. As a Registered Dietician, Tina brings such a wealth of knowledge and experience versus some self proclaimed dieticians. Tina is always

I don't know how I can ever thank Tina enough for how positively she has impacted my life. I have known and worked with Tina for the past 21 years, so it will be difficult to keep this review short, believe me, but I will try my best! I first engaged Tina as my physical strength and weight trainer. Her exercise training sessions are amazing in many respects. First, she has kept me in very good shape through her expertise, encouragement, and unending enthusiasm. As a musician I am very protective of my hands and wrists. Tina is always sensitive to this and modifies any exercise that might unduly
