Functional Holistic Nutritionist
Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition
Applied Functional Medicine Certification
Founder, Food With Thought Nutrition
Gut Guide & Mama-Baby Team
Hi! I’m Amy, a Functional Holistic Nutritionist that uses food and lifestyle changes to help you fix your gut so you can thrive without digestive distress.
I used to work as an outpatient therapist treating clients with mental health issues and trauma histories, but life events landed me here, as a functional holistic nutritionist.
When I’m not geeking out with nutrition and functional medicine stuff, I love experimenting with new recipes, gardening, traveling and hiking with my family, and taking my office manager/pet macaw, Marigold, for walks.
