She believes that nutrition from a functional, integrative, and evidence-based perspective can significantly improve the lives of all individuals by cultivating overall wellness and preventing nutrition driven diseases.
Rachel specializes in a variety of health conditions and disease states across the life span. Additionally, as an autistic person, she offers a unique perspective on nutrition for individuals on the spectrum.

She has helped me revise my diet and get on supplements that have drastically helped my ADHD, anxiety and just my overall mental and physical health. She is extremely smart and well educated. I feel better than ever and have more energy than I have in years!"

“Rachel has been great with helping not only me, but my entire family as well. We have had a few health issues that we've worried about for years, so we sent our lab results over to Rachel to review from a functional perspective. After starting the supplemental recommendations and dietary adjustments she recommended we have all seen such a difference and finally felt 'heard' for once.”
