Functional Medicine Nutritionist
Languages: English, Hebrew, Spanish
Areas of Speciality: As a functional medicine nutritionist, I can offer important insights into our patients' health journeys by focusing on finding the root causes of health issues. This approach helps us work together to address not just the symptoms but most importantly the root causes. I like the idea of creating a supportive healing environment where we can share our knowledge and ideas to help our patients achieve better health.
Clinical Approach: I am a functional medicine nutritionist passionate about helping my patients achieve optimal health by addressing the root cause of disease, not just treating symptoms. My journey began after surviving leukemia and a bone marrow transplant, which left me with limited mobility, chronic pain, and little quality of life. Conventional medicine had no answers, so I turned to the healing power of food, discovering its profound impact on the body, mind, and soul. Since graduating in 2011, I've dedicated myself to guiding others on their wellness journeys. It’s not about what you have, but why you have it—and I work with you to uncover that "why".
With empathy and curiosity, I want to hear your story. I approach your health like a detective, going beyond the surface to connect the dots and uncover what’s happening inside your body. My goal is to find the root cause of your symptoms, not just treat them. Nutrition and supplements play a key role, but we also focus on sleep, lifestyle, movement, hydration, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and even events throughout your life—such as childhood health—because every aspect of your life matters. I ask about every system in your body, not just where you feel symptoms, as everything is interconnected. This is not a quick fix, but about building a strong foundation for healing from the inside out.
