About Connie

I'm a seasoned functional diagnostic nutritionist (FDN) and fat loss specialist.

Biophysics before biochemistry: we look upstream to uncover how light, mitochondrial health, hydration, and circadian signaling, aspects that are often ignored, determine how your body burns (or stores) fat. We look for cellular cures and use functional testing and the labs you already have to learn what is blocking you from achieving the results you desire. You'll learn key lifestyle hacks, what and how much to eat, the proper use of supplements and possibly peptide therapy, and how to balance hormones, blood sugar, and cravings.
