Welcome
I’m Alexa, and I am so glad you’re here.
I’m a functional nutritionist, and my work is centered around understanding how the body is functioning as a whole—rather than isolating one symptom or system at a time.
In my experience, when something feels off—whether that’s energy, digestion, hormones, or body composition—it’s rarely coming from a single place. It’s usually a reflection of how different systems in the body have adapted over time.
Functional nutrition allows us to look at those patterns more closely—how your body is responding, where things may be dysregulated, and what may be influencing that internally.
From there, we build a more structured and individualized approach to support hormone, gut, and metabolic health—through testing, nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted intervention.
This work is not about forcing change or overriding your body. It’s about understanding it well enough to support it in a way that allows it to regulate, recover, and function more effectively.
I can support you with…
Functional nutrition support for hormone imbalance, gut health, and metabolic health
Identifying root causes of symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and weight changes
Understanding how your digestive system is functioning—digestion, absorption, and microbiome balance
Supporting hormone health, cycle irregularities, and stress-related hormonal shifts
Improving metabolism, energy production, and blood sugar regulation
Addressing gut issues such as bloating, food sensitivities, and digestive discomfort
Creating personalized nutrition plans using whole, nutrient-dense foods
Supporting nervous system regulation and the body’s response to stress
Using functional testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH test, OAT, and blood work analysis)
Incorporating targeted supplements and herbal support based on your individual physiology
Building a sustainable, long-term approach to improving gut, hormone, and metabolic health
My approach:
A systems-based, individualized approach to health
I take a functional nutrition approach that looks at how your body is functioning as a whole—rather than isolating one symptom or system at a time.
In my experience, symptoms related to hormones, digestion, metabolism, and energy are rarely coming from a single place. They are often a reflection of how multiple systems are interacting and adapting over time.
These patterns are usually shaped by a layered response to life—chronic or acute stress, environmental exposures, medications, under-eating, overtraining, and other physiological demands. Over time, the body adapts, and those adaptations can begin to show up as symptoms.
Our work focuses on identifying those patterns and building a more structured, individualized way to support your body through nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted interventions.
A personalized, root-cause approach
Rather than applying generalized protocols, everything is tailored to your physiology, history, and current patterns.
This work is grounded in research and clinical reasoning, while also drawing from a range of modalities—including functional nutrition, whole-food-based approaches, herbal support, and a deeper, intuitive understanding of the body.
The goal is to combine objective data with your lived experience—tracking signs, symptoms, and patterns—to create a more complete picture of your health.
This may include:
functional nutrition strategies for hormone, gut, and metabolic health
targeted supplementation and herbal support
lifestyle structure to support nervous system regulation and recovery
functional testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, OAT, toxin panels, and blood work analysis)
These tools are used to provide context—not answers in isolation.
A functional, integrative approach
This work is not focused on one intervention, but on aligning multiple areas of your health toward the same goal.
We focus on:
supporting and regulating the nervous system
aligning daily habits and lifestyle patterns
building a sustainable, whole-food-based approach to nutrition
using supplements and herbal support when appropriate
reducing and minimizing environmental toxin exposure
Over time, this also includes developing a deeper connection to your body—learning to understand its signals, respond to them earlier, and support your health proactively rather than reactively.
What our work looks like:
Initial intake
A 90-minute session focused on your full history, symptoms, and patterns.
Ongoing sessions
45-minute follow-up sessions scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your needs.
Setting
All sessions are held virtually through a HIPAA-compliant platform (Practice Better).
About Alexa
I’m a functional nutritionist focused on hormone, gut, and metabolic health, working through a systems-based, root-cause approach.
My work is centered around helping people better understand their bodies—how factors like stress, lifestyle, and environment shape the way the body is functioning over time, and how those patterns influence energy, digestion, hormones, and overall health.
My path into this work came from navigating my own health challenges and not finding clear answers through conventional care. It was through whole foods, a functional nutrition approach, and a deeper understanding of how the body’s systems work together that things began to shift.
I don’t view symptoms as isolated issues—I see them as communication. Signals that something in the system needs support, attention, or realignment.
I support individuals in making sense of those signals—whether that’s changes in energy, digestion, hormones, or body composition—by looking at how the body is functioning as a whole.
My goal is to help you feel more stable, more confident, and more connected to your body—so you can understand what it needs and respond in a way that supports long-term health.
Outside of my practice, you will likely find me outdoors—trail running, gardening, camping, and working on our land. I care deeply about conservation and staying connected to the natural world, and that perspective shapes how I approach health and daily life.
