FUNCTIONAL GUT HEALTH DIETITIAN

Oh hii, again. I’m Kayla!

I am so blessed to have the opportunity to help others achieve wellness through an integrative and functional medicine approach. As our world is ever changing it can be difficult to find the right person to truly walk with you on your health journey. 

I’ll never forget when my whole world was turned upside down after returning from my dream Hawaii trip. I broke out in a full body rash, my kidneys started to decline, I was extremely fatigued and had unbearable muscle pain. Upon seeing several doctors and spending thousands of dollars, the tests came back inconclusive forcing me to take a deeper dive into the why behind my own symptoms.

I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WRONG, I WAS DOING “ALL THE RIGHT THINGS”.

Reflecting back on this unknown season, I can now see the testimony that was being written. I was frustrated, scared, confused and most of all just desperately wanted answers. 

At LivingWell Nutrition, we approach health with a functional lens, shifting our focus from quick, temporary relief to sustainable change. Although this can take some time, dialing in your health strategy is key to seeing success. Using a personalized full body approach, we gather your goals, get the clinical data and customize protocols according to your needs. Each case is different and can allow for a lot of bio individuality but I think that's what makes this unique. We are walking with you on your health journey and help you to pivot as needed. After our time together, you can expect to walk away feeling refreshed and equipped with the tools needed to move forward in your health. 

Now having encountered debilitating symptoms myself, I have an even greater appreciation for the practitioners that spent time listening to my story, that didn’t write me off and that helped me find my way. I cannot wait to do the same for you. 

Together, let's take the next steps to start your healing journey!

WORD ON THE STREET

I am not here to put you on another diet, to throw supplements and medications at you. My goal is to come alongside you, listen, educate and work with you at the functional level striving towards life changing transformations. I am here to help you understand your labs, provide practical next steps & be a resource along the way. 

Prior to working one on one with Kayla I was unsure where to go and what to use to feel better to heal my stomach issues. Discouraged and confused.

After our first meeting, I knew I could trust her, that she wasn’t overcharging me & made good use of our meetings together. I am now able to implement methods to lower stress, able to manage my diet and feel better mind, body and soul.

If you are living with stomach issues or hormone imbalances, you should invest in your health to feel better! There are so many things you can do to improve your holistic health without taking a pill or taking super drastic measures. You will love working with Kayla! She is very positive and will encourage you to be your best.
