Hi, I'm Mandy!
I'm a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner (FDN-P) & board certified holistic health practitioner (BCHHP).
I’ve been where you are.
I chose the functional/holistic health path after spending over 8 years (and tens of thousands of dollars) trying to heal the chronic “mystery illnesses” that were affecting my daily life. At one point, I had a list of over 60 symptoms and had seen over 70 health providers. And yet they all told me the same thing: I was perfectly healthy, my labs were all normal, and there was nothing wrong with me.
But I didn’t feel perfectly healthy!
I then discovered the world of functional medicine and holistic healing and researched endlessly. At the end of my rope, I found something called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. As I returned to school and became a certified functional practitioner, I ran a series of cutting-edge functional lab tests on myself and discovered that my hormones, gut health/digestion, thyroid, & minerals were all a mess! No wonder I didn’t feel perfectly healthy! Using the patented D.R.E.S.S. ® protocol on myself while addressing the imbalances found on my lab work, I now feel better than I have in years!
I want that for you, too!
Because of everything I’ve been through with my own health, I am passionate about helping others get their health and energy back and feel like themselves again by healing the root causes of their symptoms using functional lab testing, customized supplement protocols, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. Book a FREE call below and let’s chat to see if we are a good fit to work together!

how it works
We'll start with a free discovery call where we'll get to know each other, chat about your health issues and goals, and see if we're a good fit to work together.
Then, we'll dive into a 1:1 coaching package. I'll guide you along the process with regular meetings. You’ll run a series of at-home functional lab tests that will help us uncover answers to the health questions that have troubled you for so long.
With the Balanced Body Package, we’ll focus on tailoring the optimal diet plan for your needs. If you’re up for it, we'll work on a balanced exercise regimen. We'll dive into practical ways to manage stress. We'll optimize your sleep and digestion. All of this takes time, so I ask my clients to really commit to making changes in their health and lifestyle.
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is referred to as an "opt-in model of self care". FDNs are not licensed health providers and, therefore, do not diagnose or treat any specific disease or condition. I'll be your functional health coach, guide, teacher, and health detective. I help my clients uncover the triggers and hidden causes of their health issues.
I don’t guess....I test! I use functional lab tests and a series of self-assessments that provide insights into your lifestyle, medical history, and current symptomology in order to design an individualized program to specifically address your needs and goals.
We’ll work together 1:1 to turn your symptoms around and get you back to a balanced, healthy you!
Let's talk labs!
Here are the functional lab tests I routinely recommend.
Note: I have access to many more functional lab tests and may suggest running additional labs, depending on your unique situation and health complaints.
DUTCH Hormone TEST
The DUTCH hormone test is a simple dried urine test that can be done at home. We'll look at hormone markers that give insight as to why you aren't sleeping, can't lose weight, are exhausted all of the time, have anxiety and/or depression and more. Test looks at cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin, digestive markers, neurotransmitters, B vitamin deficiencies and detox pathways.
gi Map
Gut test
The GI Map is a simple, at home stool test that shows us why you're struggling with bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, reflux, stomach pain, increasingly new food sensitivities, as well as issues with hormones, skin, mood, pain, energy, and autoimmunity.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
This hair test gives insight into mineral imbalances, hormone imbalances, adrenal issues, heavy metals and other toxins. Mineral stores impact your energy, metabolism, detoxification, mood, and hormones.

Frequently asked questions
What is an FDN-P?
A certified FDN-P is an expertly trained "health detective" who uses a series of functional lab tests to help clients uncover the hidden causes of their chronic health issues.
What is functional health?
Functional health is very different from the traditional conventional medicine model. The conventional medicine model is designed to diagnose and treat diseases and symptoms using prescription pills and surgery. Functional health is all about how the critical systems within your body are functioning as a whole and whether they are all in balance or not. We look for healing opportunities within your body and help you build back your health as a whole using all-natural supplements and holistic lifestyle changes. Our bodies want to heal themselves, especially if we give them the right tools, environment, and lifestyle to do so!
Do you take insurance?
Since I am not a licensed healthcare professional who operates on a diagnose and medicate model, I cannot take insurance. However, some clients have had success with getting their labs reimbursed through an FSA or paying for their entire package with an HSA card (please check with your FSA/HSA provider).
Do you offer payment plans?
I offer Advance Care to support payment plans (up to 15 months interest free). Click HERE for more information and to apply for Advance Care.
Where do we meet?
My practice is 100% virtual- this makes it easy for you to meet with me from your home or office! Our sessions will be conducted over Zoom or via telephone, whichever you prefer.
Do I have to do all those labs?
To holistically heal the body, we must have insight into multiple body systems in order to begin to uncover hidden stressors and determine where the body’s weak links are. For this reason, in order to get a full picture of your health, it is best to do the Balanced Body package. If you are super hesitant on cost, start with the Jump Start package and we can build from there.
What other costs can I expect?
Supplements typically cost $200-$300/month but can be as much as $500/month. This cost will decrease as your body heals. Healthy habits cost money too - like buying better quality food, switching your home and personal care products to non-toxic brands, or joining a gym or online fitness program.
Will I get better? And how fast?
Rebalancing the body takes time. Likely you've been feeling unwell for months or years, and it will take at least a few months for us to begin to turn your health around together. I make no guarantees, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort, positive changes in your health can occur in as little as a few weeks.
