FOOD WITH THOUGHT NUTRITION
When Your Health Doesn’t Fit in a Box
Holistic nutrition support for adults, kids, and families when health doesn’t fit neatly into one box.
When you’ve tried to figure out what’s going on and still don’t have a clear path forward, it can be hard to know what to do next. I help you make sense of the bigger picture, identify the pieces that matter most, and create a practical plan you can actually live with.
Complex Doesn’t Mean Hopeless
I work with people whose health stories don’t fit neatly into one category.
That might mean digestive problems that won’t resolve, a child with a complicated nutrition picture, a family trying to navigate food and gut health, or an adult who has been trying to figure out what’s going on for years.
My job isn’t to throw everything I know at you.
It’s to figure out what matters most right now.
Then we work from there.
Listen deeply
Your history matters. So do the things you’ve already tried, what happened when you tried them, and what you think might be important. I want to hear your story, your timeline, and how you ended up at today.
Look at the whole picture
I look for relationships between food, digestion, nutrition, the microbiome, metabolism, lifestyle, environment, emotions and trauma, and other relevant pieces.
Think creatively
My background spans clinical social work, nutrition, applied functional medicine®, microbiome science, and culinary arts. Sometimes solving a complicated problem requires looking at it from a different angle.
Take it one step at a time
You don’t need 17 supplements, three referrals, and a completely new life by next Tuesday. We prioritize what makes sense and build from there.
Ways to Work Together
Whether you need help making sense of what’s going on or want someone alongside you for the longer process of figuring it out, we can start where you are.

What It’s Like to Work Together
Someone that I know recommended Amy for help with my child’s skin, uncomfortable bloating, dairy sensitivity, and frequent illness. So glad she did! It’s hard to find a functionally-trained provider that works with kids. Amy is so skilled with incorporating foods/supplements that a toddler will be open to! We saw that small changes can make a massive difference when they are the right changes tailored to the individual – and now my daughter’s rashes are gone! She doesn’t get sick all the time anymore, she is able to totally tolerate dairy without the severe constipation and rashes she used to get! She no longer feels upset or left out because of having to avoid dairy. And she no longer complains about stomach discomfort! -Anonymous client’s mom
Amy is not only incredibly kind, reassuring and pleasant to work with, she is highly educated and knowledgeable in a wide range of health issues, health topics and modalities. She goes far beyond diet alone and walks right along with you digging for root causes, helping you to address them and other issues you may have along the way. I have had a complete turn around since I began working with her and I couldn’t be more excited about it! Thank you so much Amy!! -Anonymous client
Why Food With Thought?
A small caseload, by design.
I intentionally keep my client caseload small so I can be involved in the process rather than handing you a protocol and sending you off to figure it out alone.
A background that doesn’t fit neatly into one box.
Clinical social work. Holistic nutrition. Applied functional medicine®. Microbiome science. Culinary and pastry arts.
That combination gives me a different set of tools for looking at complicated problems.
Food that works in real life.
Nutrition isn’t particularly useful if it only works on paper.
My culinary background helps me turn nutritional goals into meals, strategies, and changes that can actually work in a real kitchen with real people.
Food Is One of the Most Powerful Tools We Have
Food isn’t magic, and it isn’t the answer to everything.
But it is something we interact with every single day.
The foods we eat can influence nutrient status, metabolism, immune function, inflammatory pathways, digestion, and the environment in which our gut microbes live.
That makes food a powerful lever for supporting the body.
And because I have spent a rather ridiculous amount of time in both nutrition textbooks and professional kitchens, I care about both sides of the equation:
What does the body need? How are we actually going to get it onto your plate?
From Babies to Adults
My work spans the lifespan: I’ve worked with adults, children, and babies as young as two months old, with particular interest and specialized training in early-life health and the developing gut microbiome.
Different ages require different questions, priorities, and strategies. I work with the person in front of me rather than trying to make everyone fit the same protocol.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you reach out.
You don’t need to have the perfect list of symptoms.
And you definitely don’t need to figure out your own protocol before we talk.
Start with a conversation about what’s going on and what you’re looking for.
