My Story…

Hello! I'm Micaela a functional nutritionist who specializes in root-cause healing, hormones, gut health, thyroid issues, PCOS, and autoimmunity. 

My passion for women's health, hormonal, and metabolic function stems from my experience with chronic health issues years ago. 


How it started…

I found myself in my early twenties experiencing a long list of health issues and zero answers from many specialists. After hearing the same thing over and over again, “Sorry there is nothing we can do”, and “You are just experiencing womanhood”, the more these conversations kept happening the more I knew something was wrong and it was being dismissed time and time again. As I refused to take the bandaid approach to my symptoms and diagnoses of; PCOS, Hashimotos, hypothyroidism, and chronic bloating I found my way to functional medicine.


My turning point…

Through functional lab testing and other functional healing methods, I was able to reverse all of my symptoms and truly find freedom and happiness within my body. Seeing the power functional medicine had on my body and learning through the process made me realize this is what I was put on this earth to do, empower women and support women through functional medicine. 


I now serve people like you who are struggling to find answers to their health and find freedom in their bodies once and for all. I encourage you to tackle your health struggles from a functional perspective utilizing the right labs and techniques to help heal and support your body. It will be the best investment you will make in your life!

  • I cannot even begin to say how much better I feel! I have been watching my weight trickle up year after year and my doctor kept saying, "Welcome to your 40s!" I tried keto, intermittent fasting, not eating, and exercising 2 hours a day to only continue to watch the scale go up. My thyroid numbers were never stable and I was now having bile duct issues. More meds, more tests, and nothing was working. Now, three weeks into the protocol and I feel amazing! I was beyond nervous about not working out every day for fear I would blow up like a balloon, but my inflammation is coming down, I am mindful of what I put in my body, and I feel AMAZING! I cannot thank Micaela enough, and we are just getting started! Thank you for being such a fantastic gift to women who are told, they are just getting older and to deal with it.

  • I used to overtrain and do HIIT workouts 6-7 times a week. I was undereating and my hormones had completely bottomed out. My stress levels were through the roof and I was constantly irritable. With Micaela’s support, I am the happiest I have ever been and feel amazing. I got my period back after 8 years and my stress levels are much better. I cannot thank Micaela enough, she has completely changed my life!

    — Addison

  • Micaela is one of the most helpful health professionals out there - even more so than my primary care physician. She is so knowledgeable about the health industry and has given me so many tools to use to improve my health and wellness. She has changed my mind and body for the better and I’m so excited to continue to work with her and have her watch me grow into the best and happiest self I can be.

    — Aubrey

  • Working with Micaela was life-changing! She’s in-depth and thorough, and when she sent me my plan she went into detail about every change I needed to make and why instead of just telling me what to buy and calling that good. I struggled with severe bloating and hormonal acne and working with Micaela has absolutely helped with both! My body is so happy thanks to Micaela and I would 1000/10 recommend any woman to work with her.

  • Micaela’s knowledge, care, and attention to detail are astounding. I have decreased my workout habits significantly. I used to work out at least 5 - 6 days a week. I walk every day, or at least 6 days a week. I eat regularly; based on my plan and I am eating the most I have in a long time. I am down to the lowest weight I have been in probably 20 years since I went on the 500cal HCG diet, even though this is not about my weight it's incredible to see that much incredible progress and not have to go to any extremes anymore. My digestion is now better, sleep is better, I used to wake up exhausted and could fall asleep during the day. I have seen significant relief from those symptoms.

  • I used to have severe digestive issues, I lived on gas-x and Imodium. I couldn't eat a laundry list of foods because they would bother my stomach so much. After getting a Gl MAP, starting a gut protocol, working out less, and eating more I have lost loads of inflammation, bloat, and more!! I have learned so much from Micaela, my doctor just suggested I take omeprazole…..crazy.

    — Amanda

  • Before working with Micaela, I was unable to digest any food that I was eating and was bloating after every meal. I would have bowel movements every 3 days and then after working through her gut protocols, I was having daily bowel movements and no more bloat! Micaela is extremely knowledgeable in the functional medicine + nutrition world and I can’t wait to continue working with her! I would recommend her to anyone!

    — Lauren

  • I am loving my protocol. I have seen so much improvement in my bowel movements. I have seen a huge change in my energy. I am not having brain fog or blood sugar imbalance problems. I have even switched to decaf coffee which I never thought I would!

  • Had I not tested I would have been continuing to blindly guess how to treat my issues! Knowledge is power, y'all.
