My Philosophy: A Non-Diet, Root-Cause Approach to Nutrition

I use a non-diet, functional nutrition approach that goes far beyond “calories in vs. calories out” or outdated tools like BMI.

Food is not just fuel — it can also be the root cause of:

• Skin problems

• Joint pain

• Digestive distress

• Fatigue

• Stubborn weight gain

Instead of guessing, I say: “Test, don’t guess.” With advanced testing in nutrigenomics, the microbiome, micronutrient deficiencies, and food sensitivities, I help patients uncover what’s really driving their symptoms.
 

Then, together, we create a personalized plan designed for your body — not a one-size-fits-all diet.

My Story: Why I Believe in Functional Nutrition

I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to be dismissed by conventional medicine.
 

Early in my life, I nearly died when doctors ignored a serious condition and sent me home. Later, a surgical complication left me needing five additional surgeries.
 

Those experiences fueled my passion for becoming my own health advocate — and now, teaching my patients to do the same.

I don’t want you to feel ignored, brushed off with a generic diagnosis like “IBS,” or told to just “eat less and exercise more.” My work is about digging deeper, getting real answers, and helping you regain control of your health.

Client Success Stories: Real Results from Functional Nutrition

The results speak for themselves.

One of my clients, a 48-year-old healthcare worker, struggled with debilitating eczema for more than a decade. After functional testing and gut-focused treatment, her eczema cleared completely:
 

“Not one doctor asked about my diet. But Meg did. And now, my hands are healed — no gloves, no creams, no steroids. Just the right foods and guidance. She saved my skin!”
 

Other clients have resolved years of digestive distress, broken through weight loss plateaus, reversed fatigue, and finally felt in control of their health again.
