Step 2: Initial Assessment & Goal Setting

Your first consultation is a dedicated time for us to get to know you — your struggles, your goals, your health history, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. We create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel empowered to be open and honest, because the more we understand, the better we can help.

Together we will:

Review your full medical and health history
Identify your goals and biggest areas of concern
Determine which lab tests or muscle testing will give us the deepest insight into what your body needs

You are not just a set of symptoms here. You are a whole person, and we treat you that way from day one.

Step 3: Your Personalized Protocol & Ongoing Support

Once we have reviewed your assessment and lab results, we build a protocol designed specifically for your body, your needs, and your lifestyle — no cookie-cutter plans, no overwhelming overhauls. Just a clear, manageable path forward using whole food-based nutrition, targeted supplementation, and holistic support aimed at the root causes we uncovered together.

Throughout your journey, we will:

Monitor your progress and adjust your protocol as your body responds
Keep you accountable and supported every step of the way
Listen closely and adapt to your evolving needs along the way

Meet Joanne (Jojo), MSCN, LDN, CNS

Our founder, Joanne's journey into nutrition began through health coaching, and her personal experience with PCOS, autoimmune challenges, and family food sensitivities drove her to deepen her expertise in functional and holistic nutrition. Her advanced training spans digestive health, metabolic conditions, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and disease prevention — giving her the foundation to address the root causes of your health struggles, not just the symptoms.

If you're dealing with bloating, gas, heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, parasites, high cholesterol, hypertension, or prediabetes — you don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through restrictive diets and dead-end solutions. There is a better way.

Through functional lab testing, muscle testing, whole food-based nutrition, and targeted supplementation, Joanne identifies exactly where your body needs support and builds a plan completely customized to your lifestyle. Whether you're looking to heal your gut, rebalance your metabolism, or do a full body reset, the goal is always the same: help you feel like yourself again.

Joanne approaches her work with the deep belief that the body was beautifully and intentionally designed to heal. That conviction — rooted in both science and faith — is at the heart of everything she does. She is honored to walk alongside her clients on their health journey, caring for the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Your health is personal. Your care should be too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to us, if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What does a typical session look like?

Currently, all sessions are conducted virtually, which means we can work with clients anywhere across the country — from the comfort of your own home!

Your initial session is 60–90 minutes and is all about getting the full picture. We will dive into your medical history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress, hydration, and more so we can truly understand what your body has been going through. Together we will set a few initial goals to start building momentum.

Follow-up sessions are 30–60 minutes and are focused on checking in, celebrating progress, adjusting your protocol as needed, and continuing to build toward your goals. Along the way, we can provide recipes, resources, handouts, and more to keep you supported and on track.
