Nutrition Services

I help women decode their cycle, understand their hormone patterns, and creates a clinically informed plan to balance mood, sleep, periods, and energy. I may utilize labs such as DUTCH testing or serum labs for targeted support. Clients go from confused and chaotic to clear and empowered, fully understanding what their hormones are doing. Clients learn how to work with their cycle instead of against it.

Hormonal Support

Your gut plays a central role in every aspect of your well-being. Uncover the hidden root causes behind bloating, poor digestion, food sensitivities, and fatigue. The health of your gut can also impact others areas such as mental health, systemic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and skin conditions.

Exploring the gut is always a great place to start.

Gut Health

Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, expecting, or navigating the postpartum phase, your body has unique needs at each stage. My approach goes beyond conventional advice, offering holistic and functional nutrition support for mom.

Having personally experienced postpartum depression, I am especially passionate about supporting women through this vulnerable time. Helping you rebuild strength and energy through simple high energy food choices. This is the time when your body needs the most nourishment.

Functional Lab Testing

I have specialist training in interpreting a wide range of functional tests such as the DUTCH test (for sex and stress hormones), Stool analysis (for gut, immune and hormone concerns) and nutritional biomarkers and blood panels to name a few.

Functional lab reference ranges look at a smaller, tighter range and anything outside of that is suboptimal. With these tighter ranges anything trending in the wrong direction can be caught early on, before a diagnosable disease state occurs. This provides an opportunity to address any underlying imbalances and restore normal physiology, ideally before it gets to a pathological disease state.

Please keep in mind: as a functional nutritionist, I am NOT a doctor. I do not make medical diagnoses. While I can work collaboratively with you and your other practitioners, functional nutrition is not a replacement for conventional medicine.

Nourishing food should be simple and enjoyable. Customized meal plans include:

• Complete shopping lists

Customized Meal Plans

“I asked Lara for help as I was feeling very depressed about my body and things in general, as I had a 4 year old and a baby. I knew I was not eating well, feeling bloated all the time, and just not feeling healthy, so I asked Lara for help. We sat down for a long time where Lara just listened to all my concerns about the kids, how I was feeling and just eating in general, which I really liked. She took all the information and wrote me a eating plan. It was hard at first to make changes and start following it, because all the things that I liked to eat were the things that made me feel down and bloated. Once I got into the hang of eating better, I started feeling happy in myself and the bloating stopped, and not feeling depressed anymore, just feeling healthy in general. My kids are now nearly teenagers, and I still try to follow this way of eating. I have lost quite a bit of weight. I still do have some days that I indulge, but I go back to the healthy eating. Lara helped me through a lot when I was struggling with myself.”

“I loved my appointments with Lara. They were always so helpful, informative, and realistic. Lara helped me understand why I was gaining weight around my tummy and explained everything so clearly. She created weekly eating plans that kept me full, energized, and on track. I’d definitely recommend Lara to anyone needing help with nutrition and diet. Her honest and realistic approach helps you feel stronger and healthier than ever!”
