Certified Nutrition Specialist®,
(she/her)
Amanda is a Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS), specialized in the managing of cardiometabolic disease, hypertension, detoxification, food intolerances/sensitivities, brain fog, low energy, autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, and gastrointestinal (GI) health.
At the age of 20, Amanda discovered she had low levels of circulating thyroid hormone and was prescribed traditional thyroid hormone (T4) replacement. Then, in 2009, an Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist identified the cause of this deficiency as Hashimoto’s syndrome, a very unsettling prospect given that this typically means that thyroid gland will continue to deteriorate, eventually failing, and leave you dependent on thyroid medication for life. It was this news that fueled Amanda’s quest for answers.
Years later, another doctor discovered that she had parietal cell antibodies. Despite trying various interventions and consulting different practitioners, Amanda continued to gain traction in managing this autoimmune disease.
Once frustrated by her own limitations with conventional treatments, Amanda now empowers others with chronic conditions to seize control of their health. As a patient-turned-nutritionist, she encourages individuals to advocate for themselves and actively participate in their well-being, emphasizing that disease doesn’t define their wholeness.
As a Nutritionist, Amanda creates conversation surrounding the connection between nourishment and healing. When we are not in harmony with our true nature we experience imbalances expressed as disease. That’s why Amanda is focused on walking alongside her patients in the management of health conditions like cardiometabolic disease, hypertension, detoxification, food intolerances/sensitivities, brain fog, low energy, autoimmunity, hormone imbalance, and gastrointestinal (GI) health. And above all, she will empower her patients how to be an advocate in their own health.
