 About Holly

Holly is a functional nutritionist with a degree in applied human nutrition from the University of Guelph. She supports clients in healing their digestive health concerns and optimizing their energy and mood.

She believes food is meant to be enjoyed, and takes a gentle, non-restrictive approach to gut healing.

When it comes to your health, you have to trust the person you're working with.

Holly believes in building relationships based on trust, openness and honesty. She takes the time to listen and see you as a person, not just an illness.

This ongoing support and accountability is what gets you results.

Together, we dig deep using testing to figure out the root causes of your health concernsthen together we build a personalized healing plan that fits your busy lifestyle.

We build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that becomes your new normal. Keeping in mind that healing is a journey, and it does take time.

Many people start to notice positive changes in as little as 1 month, and significant changes in as little as 3 months. For this reason, Holly works with clients for a minimum of 3 months.

What does a functional nutritionist do?

Holly supports clients in not only healing their digestive health concerns, but also optimizing their energy, mood and metabolism.

She uses a holistic, yet science-based approach with a mind-body focus that still allows you to enjoy food. The focus is on sustainable changes that still allow you to enjoy food and live your life, without spending hours in the kitchen every night.

Holly uses functional stool tests (the GI MAP) to determine the state of your gut microbiome and I’m also able to review any blood work that you may have.

Each personalized protocol includes sustainable dietary recommendations, supplement protocols and lifestyle recommendations.

Rather than restrictive cleanses or meal plans, Holly provides dietary guidelines for building healthy meals as well as personalized recipe collections.

She supports clients with a wide range of health concerns including:

  • heartburn, GERD, silent reflux, ulcers, H. pylori, indigestion, gas and bloating

  • IBD: Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis

  • SIBO and histamine intolerance/MCAS

  • Diverticulosis and diverticulitis

  • food sensitivities

  • bowel movement issues: chronic constipation or diarrhea

  • brain fog and mental wellness

  • chronic infections: sinus, UTI, BV, yeast

  • insomnia and chronic fatigue

  • chronic headaches and pain

  • autoimmune conditions: Celiac, Hashimoto’s and chronic inflammation

  • weight loss goals/metabolism

  • perimenopause and menopause related issues

Gut Microbiome Stool Testing

If I feel it's necessary, I may suggest we look at doing a microbiome test, the GI MAP.

This test is implicated for:

  • people with chronic stubborn digestive issues that have tried everything and aren't making progress

  • people with serious digestive symptoms including mucous or blood in their stool

  • people with other health conditions such as autoimmune diseases or chronic pain or fatigue

The GI MAP is a PCR analysis of a stool sample that tell us exactly which microbes are living in your gut, and in which amounts.

This allows me to customize your protocol to get results faster. It also measures markers of inflammation and digestion.

Check out a sample report of the GI MAP HERE. Watch my mini training and explanation of the GI MAP HERE.
