Functional Nutrition for Women & Children
Advanced functional testing and personalized wellness plans designed to uncover root causes and support lifelong health
A Root-Cause Functional Medicine Approach
At Wellness Speaks, I believe symptoms are often the body’s way of signaling deeper imbalances. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I use a functional nutrition approach to explore the root causes that may contribute to challenges with communication, behavior, focus, digestion, mood, inflammation, and overall development.
I believe food is powerful, but true wellness goes beyond diet.
Together we explore the whole picture:
Nutrition
Gut health
Lifestyle habits
Sleep
Stress and nervous system health
Movement
Functional laboratory testing when appropriate
Personalized supplementation based on your individual needs
Using advanced functional testing, personalized nutrition, and compassionate guidance, I help moms and families uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms, better understand their health, and build realistic, sustainable plans that support lifelong wellness.

Organic Acids Testing (OAT) for Autism, ADHD & Gut-Brain Health
Organic Acids Testing (OAT) is one of the most valuable functional medicine tools for gaining insight into underlying metabolic and gut-brain imbalances that may impact a child’s health, behavior, communication, and development.
At Wellness Speaks, we specialize in helping parents understand OAT testing in a clear, practical, and supportive way.
The Organic Acids Test evaluates markers related to:
Gut health and microbiome imbalances
Yeast and bacterial overgrowth
Mitochondrial function and cellular energy
Neurotransmitter metabolism
Detoxification pathways
Oxidative stress and inflammation
Nutrient deficiencies
Oxalates and metabolic byproducts
Amino acid and fatty acid metabolism
Many parents seek OAT testing for concerns related to:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
ADHD and focus challenges
Speech and communication delays
Behavioral concerns
Anxiety and mood regulation
Chronic digestive symptoms
Picky eating and nutrient deficiencies
Fatigue and low energy
Sensory challenges and regulation difficulties
Our goal is not simply to manage symptoms, but to support the foundations of gut-brain health, metabolism, nourishment, and overall well-being in a compassionate and individualized way.
