About
Whether you’re new to making diet and lifestyle changes or tired of spinning your wheels in the D.I.Y. chaos, you’re in the right place.
No matter where you are in your wellness journey you want to feel confident, have energy to spend with your loved ones, and put your best foot forward.
You’re ready and willing to make progress in your health goals.
You want to understand the root problem behind your health concerns, NOT just treat symptoms.
But you lead an action-packed life and while feeling good in your body is important to you, parsing through pages of health and diet information can feel overwhelming.
I hear you – I’ve been there.
Here are a few of my core beliefs:
+ Being well starts with food: even small dietary changes can make a huge impact on overall wellbeing. Whether we work together 1:1, in Root Cause Reset, or you try some of the resources from Get Your Sh*t Together, every little step counts.
+ Nutrition is personal. Too often conventional “diets” (hell, and our society) focus on being less. They don’t teach you how to choose quality foods that are right for you and your body’s unique nutritional needs.
+ A balanced lifestyle includes food you love. I’m not dogmatic about diet
I help driven women heal their gut so they can balance their energy, cycle, & beyond.
Hey! I’m Diane, a Michigan based holistic nutritionist and dogaholic with a silly streak. I share edu-tainment (full sass ahead) so you can own your health and have fun while doing it.

My Story
I’ve always loved good food: whether that was eating my way through new cities, making a mess in our kitchen, or poring over the pages of Bon Appetít.
At the same time, I struggled with digestion and hormonal issues ever since I was a teenager, with particularly rude symptoms after college. From gut stuff to fatigue, hormonal headaches to PMS breakouts, I was told there was a pill for every ill. That didn’t sit right with me (or my messy–at the time!–tum).
I wanted to feel better, but I wasn’t sure where to start. At the time, I thought nourishing food and delicious food were mutually exclusive, and boycotted all exercise. I tried all kinds of solutions from smoothies and plant-based, to aspiring vegan (that did NOT last long) and Google University.
I worked with a functional medicine provider before my wedding, and the results exceeded my expectations: smooth digestion (bye bloat and acid reflux), easy periods (bye, monthly migraines), consistent energy, and clearer skin.
Even better - I was learning the WHY behind holistically supporting my health through food and lifestyle…without overwhelm.
Education & Certifications
I wanted to support women who were dealing with the same “normal” symptoms. I wanted for more people to understand the WHY behind nourishing food and lifestyle, so they could take charge of their health.
So I left the advertising world to enroll in the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program via the Nutritional Therapy Association. More about that here.
Later, I became a Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP) which allows me to offer self-directed functional lab testing to my 1:1 nutritional therapy clients. Gut, food sensitivity, adrenal and sex hormone testing help us dive deep in their programs.
In 2021 I completed the Root Cause Protocol program. As a Root Cause Protocol Consultant (RCPC) I am able to dive deeper into mineral status + metabolic health, including offering hair and tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and functional bloodwork to my 1:1 clients.
I am also a certified “tapping” or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner, via the Gala Darling Method. Tapping is one of my favorite practices for personal transformation and releasing stress (learn more). Around here we’re about releasing physical and emotional constipation!
Let that shit gooooo.
How to Work With Diane
I created Root Cause Reset, my signature step-by-step nutritional therapy program to help women understand the WHY behind symptoms and reclaim their health through sustainable diet and lifestyle changes. Dive in now by enrolling in the self-led Root Cause Reset course.
The RCR course is the best and most popular starting point for 90% of clients! Yes, even those who have made some changes on their own or with another practitioner in the past. Inside we focus on and fine tune foundations: digestion, blood sugar, liver & gallbladder health, food and more.
The O.G. Root Cause Reset +Coaching (course + group coaching) is currently closed. The next cohort will open for enrollment in August 2023.
If you have already completed Root Cause Reset, or desire a done for you experience with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) testing, I invite you to schedule your HTMA Review.
VIP Nutritional Therapy Programs with full lab test offerings is currently full.
I believe that being healthy isn’t a destination, but a practice. I look forward to helping you own your wellness!
When I’m not eyeballs deep in nutrition books I’m…
+ Hanging with my husband Neil and Doug, our pug.
+ Traveling the globe (that digital nomad life).
+ Unwinding with a Salted Fat Mocha and a good novel.
+ Lifting heavy things and putting them down.
+ Watching reruns of The Office, 30Rock, or Mad Men.
