Katie was knowledgeable, kind, and empathetic. I now have more energy, a balanced mood, and weight loss. I always recommend people to come see Katie!

My Journey
I am a functional medicine specialist and clinical nutritionist with a passion for restoring balance to the human body. Since my teens when my mother came down with a life-altering inflammatory condition, I have dedicated my life to seeking out the root causes behind why our health declines and what to do about it.
I too developed chronic inflammatory conditions (thanks mom for the genes! haha) in my early 20’s, including Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid disease. Doctors told me it’s an easy fix with thyroid medication. Of course, thyroid medication does not re-train your immune system to stop attacking self-tissue, so it does not solve many of the symptoms.
After 3 years I finally had normal thyroid labs but still did not feel well. I asked my doctor for help. She told me plainly: “I treat disease, which is what I did. You’ll have to find someone else to make you well.” That’s when I went back to graduate school, to become that person others could go to so that they can feel well again!
At the same time, I had been a health coach and personal trainer for several years. I had realized there was more to health than calories in, calories out. On top of my mom’s history and my own conditions, I left the gym and joined the clinic. I committed myself to becoming an expert on the human body and its complicated interrelated systems.
While I had been following functional medicine since 2004, I formalized my training through my master’s degree and the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice conference. Since then I completed a year under the mentorship of a renowned functional medicine doctor in Fort Worth, Texas and then opened my own practice with the help of my husband Phillip. I’ve discovered that God’s purpose for my life is helping others thrive, and I’m so blessed to get to do it every day!
I LOVE TO TRAVEL
I’ve visited 17 countries on a shoestring budget, lived in China with my husband for a year, and lived in the Midwest, Southeast, Rocky Mountains, and Southwest. I’ve also been hospitalized in 3 countries!
I LIKE TO SING & DANCE
You’ll find me singing and dancing my way through downtown, gatherings with friends, or my house while doing chores. I also like Christian rap (both listening and rapping) and music with some good bass.
I"M TENACIOUS
I’ve had my share of childhood adversity and have overcome or naturally managed 20 different lab-confirmed or doctor-diagnosed conditions. Now I get to fight for my patients!

Right away, I could see that Katie was different. She quickly got to the root of why the issues had become issues and what steps I needed to take to resolve them. With each session, I got to know myself physically and emotionally better and better. Katie is very gentle and patient, but. . . she didn’t let me get away with excuses (and boy did I give them). She taught me how to overcome obstacles in a healthy way – which most of the time included baby steps. My gut is in much better shape and I have more energy. My mindset is now focused on me and my whys – instead of why I can’t.

I really liked Katie’s professionalism and knowledge. I realized that my eating and behaviors were tied to my feelings and once the emotional aspect was worked out, I was able to move further towards my goals. I felt we were a team. She provided me with her knowledge and expertise and emotional support and changed my life. I LITERALLY feel 100% better in my health, in what I eat, not tired after and during exercise, and helped me get through COVID. She helped me see the emotional reasons for the ‘why’ I ate and gave me alternatives to how to cope with and manage my emotional eating.

Katie has positive suggestions to solve every problem. She has been very patient with me. Before I saw Katie, I would always have to leave the table at a restaurant because of my bowels. I rarely do that anymore. I discovered I have a gluten problem, and now my test indicates that 11 of the 12 abnormal bacteria and parasites are no longer in my gut. I never would have known that and now I can eat accordingly.

Katie is knowledgeable, educated, experienced, encouraging, and thorough. I immediately had hope as I found an advocate and she gave me specific steps to take to begin to improve my health. I got strength to exercise regularly, and diarrhea, gas and constipation resolved. I was able to get off anxiety, anti-depressants, and sleep prescriptions. Katie also helped me get the correct thyroid meds. When I have an issue arise, Katie knows what to suggest to help.

I liked how she was very thorough with the things we needed to do and at the follow-up she asked a lot of questions to see what was working and what wasn’t. I also liked how we had access to a lot of articles and information on all the things we talked about. My daughter’s hair is growing back and she is also learning about the right way to eat and what works for her health. She has learned that it is important to pay attention to how she’s eating and also how to manage stress.

Working with Katie helped me to see there is more than one way to look at health and wellness. Katie is kind-hearted and so in-tune with how her plan can help others. She genuinely wants to help you reach your health goals. I have more energy and less allergies after having worked with Katie. She understands health and can create a plan for anyone.
