Trust me, I get it!

 

I know what it’s like to feel lost and confused about IBS, because I’ve sat with 160+ women who are struggling with IBS just like you—frustrated by the unpredictability of their symptoms and overwhelmed by the conflicting information online. I’ve heard too many times how a doctor can send their patients on their way with a recommendation for a laxative or anti-diarrheal and a handout with a list of foods to avoid. And how this can leave you feeling dismissed and alone.

I’ve also seen the relief in their eyes when they finally found answers, and I’ve witnessed their joy when they could eat freely again. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to becoming the expert guide I wish every woman with IBS could have.

As a Stanford Nutrition Research Expert, Registered Dietitian, and Low FODMAP Diet Specialist, I’ve spent years developing the expertise to help women gain real, lasting relief from their symptoms—and here’s what I’ve come to know…

With the right knowledge, guidance, and support, IBS can be conquered. Gut symptoms don’t have to rule your personal, social, or professional life. There are science-backed strategies that can help you find relief and give you real, lasting freedom, so you can focus on what is important to you: family, career, hobbies, or travel.

My Why

I’m a Registered Dietitian, IBS Specialist, and Stanford Nutrition Research Expert.

I’m also a Certified Natural Chef, and I love creating gut-loving recipes for my clients that are nutritious and delicious, incorporating some of their favorite foods as much as possible.

You might see a common theme here – food, nutrition, and how these impact a person’s health and life. It’s truly one of my greatest passions.

I believe that food is much more than fuel; it’s one of the most important ways we connect with people, show our love, and celebrate and enjoy the meaningful moments of our lives.

And I believe everyone should be able to enjoy nutritious, delicious foods without having to worry about painful gut symptoms.

My Journey – Eat, Love, Serve

 

My passion for food and health didn’t start when I became a Registered Dietitian, but long ago as a young girl growing up in Italy, where the enjoyment of food was ingrained in our culture and played a big part in connecting our loved ones and serving as a source of joy and love that we bonded over.

But it wasn’t only the enjoyment of food that marked my childhood. It was discovering that nutritious foods could greatly impact a person’s life and well-being.

My family actually had a history of high cholesterol, and I’ll never forget when I was around 10 years old, seeing my dad walk into my room and handing me a book on nutrition.

I wasn’t sure why he did that – perhaps he wanted to give me a chance to change my family’s trajectory.

But I simply could not put the book down. I became engrossed in it. I was truly fascinated by how someone could utilize nutrition to significantly improve their health.

This is the moment when the intersection of my love for food and my fascination with nutrition occurred.

Years later, I earned a scholarship to UCLA for English, not yet knowing that nutrition could be one’s field of study and career.

But when I discovered a nutrition class in my senior year, everything changed. My mind was opened to new possibilities, and I eventually found my calling… as a Registered Dietitian.

I like to say that I’m equal parts scientist and artist. 

I spent years as a Nutrition Research Expert at Stanford University, utilizing my deep attention to detail and natural inclination toward science to help uncover insights in the field. 

But eventually, I desired to get back to my roots of my love for food, and the deeper sense of purpose that 1-1 connection with clients provides.

So I went on to achieve my Natural Chef Certification, and I began working directly with clients to help them develop nutrition plans based on the latest science to help them achieve their health goals.

And then, something happened that would forever change the trajectory of my career. When Monash University published their revelatory findings that a certain group of sugars and fibers called FODMAPS was the primary culprit behind IBS symptoms, all of the aspects of my career came together in a pivotal way.

After shifting completely to focus only on my IBS clients, I found that my expertise in utilizing the latest science to make the greatest impact was fully culminated, and, as I developed meals that precisely and effectively utilized the Low FODMAP Diet, my passion for delicious, nutritious meals was given the purpose that, perhaps, it was always meant for.

I developed the Comprehensive IBS Resolution Method, and for the past 8 years, I’ve guided 160 clients (and counting) one-on-one to achieve real, lasting relief from their IBS symptoms and get back to enjoying delicious foods and living a life they love.

If we are a great fit, I would love to help you do the same.
