Reclaim your body, confidence, & life.

I will help you build long-lasting confidence in the kitchen and reduce the overwhelm at the grocery store.

Let’s establish the foundations of our work at Belly Love Wellness.

What is a food first approach?

With our food first approach, we work on foundations first, and second, offer functional and specialty lab testing (such as food sensitivity, comprehensive stool tests like the GI Map, hormone tests like the Dutch, organic acids, mycotoxin, and hair tissue mineral analysis tests) and therapeutic supplement protocols when needed.

If you have tried specific healing protocols and they haven’t worked:

  • You are not alone! If you have been told by a provider that your labs are “normal” but you feel horrible, that is not okay. Let me help you get to the bottom of it. 

  • Root cause approach involves the theory of tacks: remove the trigger (s), douse body with nutrients, and HEAL. There are many layers to root cause healing - some layers impact the digestive system, endocrine system, immune system and some impact the nervous system. We will peel back the different layers together. 

Food First Approach practices use foundations as our first line of defense, with functional lab testing and healing supplement protocols to expedite the healing process.

At Belly Love Wellness we specialize in:

  • Autoimmunity 

  • Gut Health

  • Food sensitivities

  • Hormone balance 

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Root cause approach

But before we dive into how I can support you, let’s discuss what a therapeutic diet truly is. 

What is a therapeutic diet?

A therapeutic diet is a meal plan, or a way of eating, that controls the intake, elimination, timing, or quantities of certain foods or nutrients as part of the nutritional therapy and healing support of a chronic condition. This is in many instances short term. Once healing has been achieved, foods can be added back in to tolerance.

Examples of Therapeutic Diets include: 

  • Gluten Free

  • Dairy Free

  • Autoimmune Paleo Protocol

  • Low Starch

  • Specific Carbohydrate

  • Low-FODMAP

  • Low Histamine

  • Renal/Kidney Stone - Low Purine & Oxalate

  • Antifungal/Candida

  • A modified carbohydrate diet prescribed to someone diagnosed with diabetes

  • A ketogenic diet recommended to assist a child with epilepsy

  • A low-sodium, high-potassium diet for someone living with high blood pressure

This is not an exhaustive list.  If you have been given a list to follow, I can help!

What are nutraceuticals?

Nutraceuticals are dietary substances that are rich in nutrients and derived from whole foods or parts of food sources. They can be used to improve health, delay aging, reduce symptoms of chronic diseases, and increase life expectancy. Nutraceuticals are often used to support chronic illness & diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, autoimmunes, and gastrointestinal and neurological disorders.

Nutraceuticals are formulated dietary supplements that are derived from natural resources. They included vitamins, minerals, nutrients, phytochemicals, herbs, plant essences, and homepathics, They can be purchased over the counter or at a certified or licensed practitioner’s clinic. It is important to work with a trusted practitioner who has training and expertise in the use of healing supplements like nutraceuticals.

The Pillars of Belly Love Wellness

  • Learning the skills to cook for yourself and make delicious food, no matter what you can or cannot eat!

  • Creating a community of people that also are walking similar paths + journeys as you. Creating a space and understanding of what it’s like to have to eat differently than the norm is central.

  • Understanding our relationship with food and how that will impact our success on a therapeutic diet is central- trying not to label foods as good or bad.

  • We want you to feel comfortable reading food labels and learn the skills to buy quality food.

  • We want you to balance your blood sugar with fiber + fat + protein. What are good sources of these macros and how do you find them?

  • We can use supplements + speciality functional lab testing to move the needle and dig deeper, but want food to be the focus first.

  • Belly Love Wellness is not just nutrition, but joyful movement, stress management, nervous system healing, quality sleep, joy, community, and belonging. Health is multidimensional and we are all bio-individuals. We must encompass the full body, mind, and spirit.

  • The word “healthy” can be ambiguous and different for every person. We want to focus on being healthFUL. One person’s healthy food or antiinflammatory food can be another person’s poison or trigger food. We must provide personal health to each individual.

  • Eat real food that is balanced when you need it. It’s about an abundance mindset, not about deprivation or restriction. It’s about nourishment, not always food portions. Bulking up your veggies + fruits. You can sometimes be malnourished and still be over-eating. You can be holding extra energy on your body that isn’t being used for energy, even though you feel hungry. It’s about intuitive eating and mindful eating.

  • We believe in body inclusion, not diet based nutrition. Count nutrients, and plant points, not calories. We want to help you heal from the inside out
