What our clients say
Kathy
“Anita has been a breath of fresh air after years and thousands of dollars spent with other practitioners who never got to the root cause. She goes beyond typical testing, even impressing my primary doctor with her insight. She patiently teaches the "why" behind everything and has a rare gift for making you feel truly seen — she told me in our first session she'd help make my body feel safe, which meant more than she knew. For the first time, I feel confident in my healing and weight-loss journey.”
Brianna
"Anita is truly an answered prayer. After a year battling debilitating gut issues — countless doctors, thousands spent on supplements, no real answers — Anita was the first to actually know I'd get better. Testing revealed my triggers, and in just 5 weeks I've gone from constant pain and inflammation to finally living again. My skin cleared, my joints stopped aching, and I even went on vacation without fear for the first time in a year. She goes above and beyond, treating me like her only patient. I couldn't recommend her more."
Shana
“I 100% recommend Anita! After 25 years on Prilosec and a lifetime of severe constipation and acid reflux, I thought that was just my life. One call to Anita changed everything — gut and hormone testing revealed exactly what was wrong, and gluten turned out to be my arch nemesis. Six weeks in, I've lost 9 pounds, I'm regular daily, the bloating and brain fog are gone, and my energy is way up. If I can do this with three toddlers and shift work, you can too!”

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about our programs, testing, and how we work together.
-
Bloating and gas are almost always a symptom of something else — usually bacterial imbalance, low stomach acid, slow motility, or a damaged gut lining ("leaky gut"). Functional lab testing identifies what is driving your symptoms, so relief is lasting instead of temporary.
-
Yes. An inflamed or permeable gut lining allows undigested food particles and toxins to trigger immune reactions throughout the body — often showing up as bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, or joint pain. Food sensitivity testing identifies your specific triggers, so you're not left guessing through months of elimination diets.
-
Yes — when the gut lining is compromised, inflammatory compounds can enter the bloodstream and settle in joints and other tissues. This gut-immune connection is one of the most common "aha" moments for new clients, since joint pain rarely feels gut-related at first.
-
Root-cause gut health testing typically combines a gut/microbiome panel, a food sensitivity panel, and a metabolic or hormone panel. Together, these give real biomarker data on bacterial balance, inflammation, gut lining integrity, and your specific food triggers — instead of guessing.
-
Most functional gut health testing is done comfortably at home using stool, urine, saliva, and finger-prick blood spot kits mailed directly to you — no needles or lab visits required. A full venous blood draw is only added when a specific case calls for it.
-
Lab results typically come back within two weeks, and many clients notice real shifts in energy, bloating, and pain within the first month of their personalized plan. Full gut restoration is usually a 60–90 day process, since rebalancing bacteria and rebuilding the gut lining takes time.
-
Chronic gut inflammation and stress both drain the adrenal and hormone systems, which is why fatigue and poor sleep so often show up alongside digestive issues. A stress/hormone panel can reveal whether cortisol depletion is part of what's keeping you tired.
-
Standard medical testing often misses microbiome imbalances, low-grade food inflammation, and early gut lining damage — which is exactly why so many people are told their labs are "fine" while still feeling terrible. Functional lab testing looks at biomarkers conventional panels typically don't check, and is built to identify healing opportunities — through food, behavior, herbs, and supplements — rather than to meet criteria for a prescription.
-
Most clients see gut pain, bloating, and gas resolve, along with rising energy, clearer skin, and better sleep — often within the first month of a personalized protocol. Many clients described going from daily pain and exhaustion to feeling like "a new person," after not believing that kind of change was even possible.
-
It starts with a free call to review your symptoms and history, followed by personalized lab testing, a one-on-one results review, and a customized plan covering diet, supplements, and lifestyle. From there, you get ongoing personalized support and check-ins so the plan adjusts as your body heals — you're never just handed a report and left on your own.
-
Programs range from about $1000-3000, depending on how many lab panels and coaching sessions you need. Pricing covers the lab tests themselves, one-on-one review sessions, and a fully personalized supplement and food plan — not just a consultation. Every plan starts with a free call, so you know your exact investment before committing.
-
This approach is a strong fit if you're dealing with ongoing bloating, gas, stomach pain, mid-day energy crashes, or brain fog, and feel let down by traditional medicine's answers so far. It works best for people motivated to make lasting changes to avoid the long-term risks of chronic inflammation — like immune disorders, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. It's not the right fit if you're looking for a single pill or an immediate fix.
