MEET NAOMI

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, FDN-P

Naomi works primarily with women in perimenopause and menopause to help navigate this very confusing time in a woman’s life!

As she headed into her mid-40s, she started feeling sluggish, and tired and noticed that her clothes were fitting tighter and seemingly always cold with frequent migraines becoming the new norm. This wasn’t going to cut it with her busy lifestyle.

After her labs came back normal her doctor told her this was typical for her age, she was fed up! There had to be another way to go through this phase of life without suffering from these symptoms.

Her work as a Certified Health Coach was helping clients, but many of them were also experiencing symptoms of “aging” that weren’t changing with traditional methods of eating healthy and exercising.

She knew there had to be a personalized way to understand what was going on in the body and find symptom relief for women.

Becoming an FDNP gave her access to data-driven functional labs and became a game-changer in understanding where these symptoms were coming from and more importantly, what to do about them!
