How I can can help you heal
As certified nutrition consultant and a Ph.D. in Microbiology, my holistic health practice takes a comprehensive approach to microbiome health for disease prevention and treatment. By merging the knowledge of nutrition and microbiology, I emphasize the vital role of the microbiome in maintaining overall health. Through personalized consultations and evidence-based interventions, I strive to optimize the microbial balance within the human body, harnessing its potential to support immunity, digestion, and overall well-being. Together, these credentials enable me to offer a unique perspective on promoting health through the understanding and cultivation of a balanced microbiome.
A healthy gut microbiome is crucial for overall health because microbes assist with digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and hormone balance and brain function. Gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in the gut bacteria, occurs due to poor diet, stress, antibiotics, lack of exercise, childhood dietary influences, and genetics. To give personalized, research-based advice on improving gut health, I analyze your specific needs, dietary habits, and lifestyle factors to recommend appropriate changes specifically for increasing fiber intake, consuming probiotic-rich foods, reducing stress, and adopting a balanced exercise routine. I specialize in integrating each person’s culturel history traditions into my lifestyle advice, meal plans, and supplement recommendations, recognizing the significance of cultural and familial influences on food choices to ensure practical and sustainable changes for long-term health.
I consult globally through remote appointments.
