Nice to meet you

I’m Christa

After talking with so many women struggling with gut issues, everything from bloating to IBS to crazy fatigue, and after dealing with my own digestive issues for over 10 years, it became clear to me that there is a huge gap in our healthcare system.

We are not being taught what it takes to have a healthy gut, and that there are so many things we CAN do, from diet, to lifestyle to hydration and so much more, to boost our bodies and get healthier, without being bombarded with prescriptions.

Even though there is an abundance of information with all kinds of advice out there, it’s very cookie cutter and one- size- fits- all generic, and it definitely doesn’t go deep enough to get to the real root of WHY you have these symptoms in the first place (this is where the real solution needs to be focused).

Once I finally learned how to heal my gut (completely naturally - zero medication) and how to resolve my own gut issues, I felt a fire light inside me — I wanted to help other women in their 40’s and beyond know that these symptoms are not normal, are definitely not just due to aging, and can 1000% be reversed — and then show them the exact steps to do so.

Your Path to Success

Step 1:

Inside my 1-1 program, we run 4 functional lab tests that come back with literally 100’s of data points that we then correlate to see what’s actually going on, and then from there, formulate a customized protocol specific to your body.

Step 2:

We dig into the root cause as to why you get so bloated after eating, why you have persistent brain fog, why you can’t sleep anymore, and why you feel like you are riding the hormone roller coaster.

Step 3:

We create simple strategies to use now and for the rest of your life so you can stay on track and feel healthy and energetic for the rest of your life.

I get it…

I’m standing in my bedroom, changing into my PJs. I turn sideways and glance in the mirror. I look exactly like I did when I was 6 months pregnant, but I am very NOT pregnant…the bloating from my dinner had fully kicked in. I wanted to cry. Every meal felt like a gamble and it was in that moment that it finally hit me that I could not go on another day like this (it was so embarrassing and had been going on for years). Something had to change.

I was at home figuring out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. The company I had been working at for 20 years, almost to the day, doing accounting and copyright licensing, had just been sold. Though I liked working with numbers, my passion had always been in health, plus I was already on a path working to help my own body and absolutely loving it.

As I learned more and more about how to heal the body, I wondered how I could help other women do the same. I hopped on Google and started searching for how to become a health coach and came across the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I knew deep in my heart this was it, and before I knew it, I was hitting “enroll now” and I diving right in. I loved EVERY minute of it!

Before long, I knew I wanted to help my clients on an even deeper level, and I knew the missing piece was integrating lab testing. I wanted more measurable information and more data from the body to get real answers, which would allow me to create far more customized plans for my clients.

So, I jumped into the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner training. I was blown away by the information I got from my own body when I did the testing and I knew this was the missing piece in modern health care. This was the key to helping us understand what’s actually going on behind our symptoms and what our body truly needs for a happy & calm belly, and strong body, as we age gracefully.

I wanted you to be able to understand your body too and for us to be able to pinpoint exactly where your body needs support. Then, together we could finally address the real issues, without any more guessing. No more frustrating elimination diets and trying this and that, No more endless searching online. We could now know exactly where to start. With a custom health protocol that addresses exactly what is going on for you, you no longer have to throw spaghetti at the wall hoping that a mass-marketed solution will work for you.

As an IIN health coach and FDN practitioner I will support you every step of the way. You have unresolved chronic gut health issues that don't seem to be fixed with just diet alone, or a handful of supplements, Now, we can bring all of the puzzle pieces together, address your body as a whole, and finally give you relief.
