Hi, I'm Vania!
I'm a functional diagnostic
nutrition practitioner (FDN-P).
I’ve been where you’re at. For years, I couldn’t sleep through the night. I suffered from brain fog, IBS, bloating, food sensitivities, and depression – just a few of my symptoms.
I saw doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists, but no one could tell me why I felt so bad! I was offered the pill, antidepressants, and advice like, ‘you’re healthy!
At the end of my rope, I found something called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. As I became a certified practitioner, I ran a series of cutting-edge functional lab tests on myself and discovered that my hormones, digestion, and thyroid were all a mess! Using the patented D.R.E.S.S. ® protocol on myself while addressing the imbalances found on my lab work, I now feel better than I ever have. In 2023 I earned a master’s degree in Functional Nutrition enhancing my ability to develop customized health strategies for my client’s unique needs .
I’m excited to guide you towards your health goals . Click below to book a free discover call and embark on your journey to optimal health.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is referred to as an “opt in model of self care”. That means that I am not a licensed health professional. I don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe. I’m just a teacher and a guide, and I can teach you how to know your body so well that you can confidently become your own health practitioner.
Imagine being so confident in what your body is trying to tell you that you don’t need to seek out any more doctors, supplements, workouts, or lab tests. By working with me for 3-6 months, you’ll be able to achieve a level of health freedom you have never thought possible. I know because I’ve done it myself, and have guided many clients through the same process with great success

how it works
We'll start with a free discovery call where we'll
get to know each other, chat about your goals, and
see if we're a match made in wellness heaven.
Then, we’ll dive into a 1:1 coaching package. I’ll guide you along the process
with regular meetings. As we get to know each other, we’ll be running a series
of at-home functional lab tests that will help us uncover answers to the health
questions that have confused you for so long.
We’ll be working on implementing the right diet for you. We’ll work on a
balanced exercise regimen, if you’re up for it. We’ll dive into practical ways to
manage stress. We’ll optimize your sleep and digestion. All of this takes time,
so I ask my clients to really commit, and work with me for 3-6 months.
Let’s talk labs! Here are the functional lab tests I’ll help you run.
Dutch stress and hormone panel
The Dutch Stress and Hormone Panel is a simple dry urine test that can be done at home. We’ll look at markers that give insight as to why you aren’t sleeping, can’t lose weight, and are exhausted all of the time.
gi Map
Gut test
The GI Map is a simple, at home stool test that shows us why you’re struggling with bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, reflux, stomach pain, and increasingly new food sensitivities.
MRT FOod
sensitivity test
This blood test looks at over 175 different food proteins to see if your immune system is reacting to certain things you’re eating. If you suffer from mood swings, brain fog, low energy, skin issues, or stomach pain, you’ll benefit.
Mucosal barrier
assessment
This at home dried blood spot test looks for intestinal permeability and can help us figure out why you have histamine issues or have a hard time digesting your food.
metabolic
wellness panel
The MWP helps us figure out if you have any DNA damage that can be affecting levels of inflammation and premature aging. It also helps us determine if your liver is congested and your detoxification pathways are compromised.

but maybe you’re unsure where to start? Or maybe you’ve been working on it already and need a tune up? Then this just might be the program for you. I’ll assess your current health status using a series of in-depth questionnaires to identify what your biggest health concerns are, what might be causing them and where your biggest healing opportunities are to restore balance to your body. We’ll then work together over the course of four sessions as I guide you on how to implement new health strategies that best support the results you’re looking for. I’ll provide personalized recommendations for diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction and proper supplementation to support your body in the way that it needs it most so you
can reach your ideal health and weight.

Frequently asked questions
What is an FDN-P?
An FDN-P is an expertly trained “health detective” who uses a series of functional lab tests to help clients uncover the hidden causes of their chronic health issues.
Do you take insurance?
No. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is an opt-in model of self-care. As we are not physicians and we do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, we do not take insurance.
Where do we meet?
My practice is 100% virtual- this makes it easy for you to meet with me from your home or office! Our sessions will be conducted over Zoom or via telephone.
Have you helped others like me?
Yes! I’ve worked with clients who suffer from a number of issues that traditional medicine has no answers for. I can help you naturally move your body from a state of dysfunction to a state of function.
Will I get better? And how fast?
Rebalancing the body takes time. Likely you’ve been feeling unwell for months or years, and it will take at least a few months for us to begin to turn your health around together. I make no guarantees, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort I ask of you, positive changes in energy, mood, sleep, weight, libido, and digestion can occur in as little as a few weeks.
