Functional Nutrition Coach

Hi, I’m Christina,

I’m a Functional Nutrition Coach specializing in metabolic health.

I help women restore their energy, balance hormones, and manage blood sugar with personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. By focusing on metabolic function, I guide you to feel vibrant, curb cravings, and support sustainable weight management. My goal is to help you take control of your health with a holistic approach that promotes long-term wellness and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

My Journey to Health and Wellness

Health isn’t just about before and after photos—it’s about true, lasting transformation. My wellness journey began not with a desire to lose weight but with the deep need to feel energized and free from pain. Struggling with chronic migraines, anxiety, endometriosis, and hormonal imbalances, I relied on birth control and medications, but they only masked the symptoms and never addressed the root causes, including metabolic imbalances that were affecting my hormones and energy levels.

Frustrated with the cycle of medication and temporary relief, I began researching alternative ways to heal my body. That’s when I discovered functional nutrition and the profound impact that nutrition and lifestyle changes could have on my health. By focusing on whole foods, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and supporting my metabolic health, I was able to manage my endometriosis without prescription medications or birth control—something doctors told me was impossible.

This journey of healing ignited my passion for wellness and led me to pursue a career in functional nutrition. Now, my mission is to help you address your metabolic health through sustainable, holistic changes, so you can reclaim your energy, balance, and health. I want to empower you to take control of your well-being in a way that’s both life-changing and sustainable, supporting you as you find the healing your body truly needs.

My Approach to Metabolic Health

Metabolic health goes beyond just food—it's about balancing how your body processes energy, how your hormones respond, and how your overall lifestyle impacts your well-being. Using a personalized, goal-oriented strategy, I’ll help you improve your metabolic health by aligning your diet, exercise, and daily habits with your unique needs. By working with your body’s natural systems, we’ll target blood sugar balance, hormone regulation, and sustainable energy, enabling your body to thrive and heal from the inside out.

I believe in a sustainable, individualized approach to health, where there’s no “one-size-fits-all” method. We’ll work together to uncover what works for your body and life—whether that’s balancing blood sugar, improving hormone health, or nurturing metabolic function. I’m here to help you navigate your own path to wellness, just as I’ve navigated mine, so you can feel your best at every stage of life." what owuld you title it

Real Food, Real Ingredients

I believe in real food, real ingredients, and a clean diet and lifestyle. Food should be functional - it is a pathway to optimal health and well-being and is the medicine to heal the gut, sleep better, fight inflammation, balance hormones, and so much more.

Simple Changes

Even the simplest of food and lifestyle changes can have a significant and positive effect on how a person feels in their body and mind.
