“We were lucky enough to get pregnant on our first go and Ana’s advice played a key role in that”
I was preparing to conceive after receiving a Hashimoto’s diagnosis. The best things about working with the practice is Ana is she is thoughtful, patient and curious. She never made me feel rushed and she provided insights and suggestions that I hadn’t heard before, even after working with other functional doctors. Secondly, getting pregnant!

“I have no more constipation, less painful menstrual cycles, and confidence in my health!”
I was hoping to better understand and improve my gut health, address painful menstrual cycles, and prepare my body for pregnancy. I was able to reach all of my goals and feel like I'm in control of my health for the first time! Every aspect was so well organized and easy to follow. Truly worth every penny.

“This program has truly saved my health”
When I started I had so many unanswered health issues. After 10 years I finally got answers, and I have never felt such relief! Ana was so motivating and supportive. I finally felt like I had someone in my corner that truly cared about my health. I felt so comforted having her help me navigate through this journey. The supplements worked wonders, and were tailored by Ana specifically to my certain health needs.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Ana!”
Thanks to her guidance, I was able to conceive and give birth to a beautiful, healthy boy who is thriving today. Ana supported me throughout my pregnancy and helped me navigate postpartum depression with compassion and expertise. Fast forward to today, and we are continuing to work toward the same goals. This time, Ana identified and addressed underlying gut issues that were affecting my fertility. With her help, I eliminated parasites, balanced my blood sugar, and reduced bloating, nausea, and fatigue.

“In one word, the entire process was empowering”
I came to Ana wanting general support for preconception health, but also had some specific needs (marathon training, high cholesterol, anxiety) that I flagged for her at the onset in case we could address those, too. This has been my favorite investment I've ever made in my own health + well-being. Not only is Ana just a knowledgable, kind, & warm resource to have on your team, but she has a unique ability to make you feel like you're both partners in learning about what your body needs & addressing those together.

“I wanted clear skin again! Proud to say I achieved that!”
Ana is such a great listener and really hears everything you say. You'll never be dismissed or minimized by her. Also, there's never any pressure - just good recommendations rooted in facts. The best part: the recommendations work! I have almost entirely acne-free skin again withOUT the use of Accutane, a better sense of my gut and overall health and how to fuel my body appropriately in a tailored way, and substantially reduced bloating

“My mind is clearer, my energy has increased, my skin has improved, and I am calmer and more intentional.”
I was hoping to get a clearer understanding of my unique health situation and the ways I could improve my systems after a long period of stress. There are so many voices advising on supplements, diets, protocols, and elimination. I knew I wanted to work with Ana to identify a clear game plan for me specifically. Ana is incredibly generous with her knowledge, sharing insights from her vast experience with a genuine passion for helping her clients achieve their health goals. She is exceptionally smart and her deep understanding of functional nutrition is evident in every interaction. Overall, working with Ana has been a transformative experience. Her expertise, kindness, and realistic approach to health have made a significant positive impact on my wellbeing. My mind is clearer, my energy has increased, my skin has improved, and I am calmer and more intentional. Ana’s approach makes the changes I’ve made more sustainable because I feel empowered to make informed decisions about my food and lifestyle.

“I feel well-equipped and fully loving the process of preparing my body into pregnancy”
I was suffering from major brain fog, afternoon slumps, and feeling uncomfortable in my own body. Working with Ana helped me make those lifestyle changes that I could not do alone. I have a thyroid autoimmune disease and hypertension and feel in control of how to manage these as well. I benefited with lifestyle changes I can stick with, I didn’t know I was under-nourishing myself because I have struggled with my own body image but she helped me love myself more than ever by nourishing it. It was the first time in my life that I felt empowered in whatever state my body was. The brain fog and afternoon slumps are gone! Also, my hair which felt like it was thinning feels healthier, shinier and thicker than ever. My skin feels better and more hydrated than before. I am trying to conceive and I feel so supported by her. I feel well-equipped and fully loving the process of preparing my body into pregnancy.

“I have made huge strides in regulating my nervous system allowing for all aspects of my life to feel easier and more at peace”
I started working with Ana in hopes of reducing my psoriatic arthritis symptoms, figuring out why I couldn't lose weight and generally support my body through the years of early parenting. Ana helped me make connections between my physical and mental health that I could not be more grateful for. Her unwavering support and reassurance allowed me to stay patient in the process and trust that healing is not linear. Her personal and professional knowledge of the challenges in trying to balance parenting, work and healing was endlessly beneficial. Because of our time working together I have successfully reintegrated foods that my body wasn't previously about to tolerate. I have a grounded understanding of what foods feel good to me and how much and when I should eat them to support blood sugar, mood, weight loss and overall energy levels. I have made huge strides in regulating my nervous system allowing for all aspects of my life to feel easier and more at peace. Thank you, Ana!

“After 6 months, she had fixed my GERD and my migraines, and made substantial progress on my chronic fatigue”
I went to Ana with three issues that many many healthcare professionals had not been able to help me with: painful GERD, migraines that would last for weeks or more, and chronic fatigue. Ana paid attention to all of my symptoms and issues even if they seemed (to me) unrelated, and made a personalized short term plan to fix my gut health and instill a few long-term habits (like eating more protein). After 6 months, she had fixed my GERD and my migraines, and made substantial progress on my chronic fatigue (I now am confident I know a big part of the issue here, and I'll be informed and prepared for self-advocating for what I need with my doctors).

Before: acne for “whole life”, has tried “everything”, history of medication (Spironolactone)
After: no active breakouts, no pain or inflammation.

“I found solutions for my postpartum hair loss”
I began working with Ana again when I was 3 months postpartum due to hair loss I experienced during pregnancy. Ana is well-prepared, non-judgmental, gets to the root of the problem, and creates a fun environment! She gave me concrete things to work on which were easy (ish) to implement in my daily life. Ana is wonderful and I highly recommend working with her!

"I'm back to regular bowel movements and no bloat!"
Ana provided constant support and helped to make big and small changes to my daily routine in order to help heal my gut. Back to regular bowel movements, loss of bloating, and was able to connect the dots on how my gut got to this point. Ana helped me to learn from my past to correct it for the future and to live a healthy gut lifestyle!

"My stomach is settled and no longer in discomfort all the time!"
Ana made the protocols very simple and straightforward. The plan was completely attainable and not overwhelming! I am sleeping better, my kidney pain has gone away, my stomach is settled, and I’m no longer uncomfortable.

"I got pregnant after TTC with IUI/IVF for three years!"
We have our first baby on the way!! I am 24 weeks today! I got pregnant at home after TTC with IUI/IVF in clinic for 3 years and losing 3 babies. Could not be happier! Had a great experience working with Ana. She is very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and passionate about finding answers. I would 100% recommend to friends or family struggling to conceive!

"I found relief for my chronic bloat, gas, and digestive issues"
I was hoping to find answers and relief for my digestive issues and food sensitivities. And I obtained my goals! I benefited greatly from test results showing the issues, personalized protocols, and teamwork. The best thing about the practice was the ongoing support and someone actually listening to me.

"Two years of hives and now even one or two hives is a rarity"
Over the course of two years I saw my PCP, allergist, and dermatologist for my chronic hive breakouts. All of which lead to dead ends. Within a month of working with Ana the breakouts were less frequent. And now I can say that even one to two hives on my body is a rarity. During our time together I also experienced bloating and a major hormonal acne breakout. Both of which Ana was able to provide support with.

"I can eat without extreme heartburn, nausea, and pain!"
My GI system had been severely effected by high levels of stress over the course of 5-10 years. When I started working with Ana, I couldn't manage any food without extreme heartburn and nausea. My GI system was the symptom, but my overall stress levels, cortisol management, and wellness in life was thrown off in a way that was unsustainable for me. Ana was able to help me identify, correct, and maintain changes throughout my life with kindness, patience, and guidance. I’m now more in tune with what my system actually needs. Ana’s holistic, whole system approach was the best thing about working with the practice.

"I am no longer bloated, PMS is non-existent, and my acne has improved"
I was hoping to improve bloating, acne, and period symptoms. I have definitely achieved my goals and more! Ana really takes the time to explain everything and make protocols as thorough but easy to follow as possible. She works within your lifestyle and makes doable adjustments. Plus she was such a good cheerleader along the way!

"All of my PMS symptoms are gone or minimized to the point where I don't notice"
The best thing about working with the practice was the comprehensive approach and looking at all angles with clear suggestions for what to do different. My anemia has been resolved and my gut issues are much better. All of my PMS symptoms - cramping, bloating, gas - are all gone or minimized so much that I don’t notice anymore. My period even takes me by surprise!

"Eating is pleasurable again and I didn't know if I would ever feel that!"
When I started working with Ana I was hoping to achieve less frequent stomach pain, a greater knowledge of what was happening with my digestive system and to feel better overall. I was 100% able to obtain my goals and more. Ana went above and beyond to talk through everything with me. Her patience and kindness made the whole experience so much better. I am over the moon that I can eat a meal without feeling sick afterwards, which was not possible before working with Ana. THANK YOU!

"I now understand now how nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle all relate to each other"
I wanted to work on the root causes of many issues and address deficiencies that contributed to my symptoms. I felt that I was able to obtain my goals and learn invaluable information that will last me a lifetime! I have a much better understanding of what my body actually needs, and resources/ideas on how to feed myself and family. I just wish I could work with Ana forever!

"I was able to get pregnant on my first IVF transfer"
Initially I worked with Ana to address acne, painful periods, and after having an 11 cm fibroid removed. Later, when I was ready to conceive, she guided me through that entire journey as well. What I loved most about working with Ana was how approachable and personalized everything felt—she set realistic, attainable goals, held incredibly thorough live calls, and always followed up with clear, easy-to-understand protocols. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support through such important chapters of my life.

Before: redness & active acne breakouts
