If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are likely in need of nutritional support. Childhood epidemics are on the rise. Many of those chronic diseases have been linked in research to poor health of the mom during pregnancy. You can make some changes to your lifestyle that may improve the outcome of your pregnancy and the health of your child. Carla can guide you to the necessary changes based on your profile and request the proper lab tests that can help her create the right plan for your healthy pregnancy.
CHILD FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
At Family Nutrition and Wellness we understand that families can be very busy. If you're worried or having trouble finding a sitter during your appointment with us, we encourage you to bring you children to your visit so they can play in our child friendly office while you begin your wellness journey for the whole family!
SCHOOL WORKSHOPS and SEMINARS
As Dietitian/Nutritionists, we enjoy speaking at local schools about the importance of good nutrition. We especially enjoy informing parents in groups about the effectiveness diet has on behavior. With ADHD and Autism on the rise parents need to be informed that nutrition impacts a child's behavior and can improve a child's behavior when addressed in time. Many children with behavior problems have specific food sensitivities which can disrupt the child's learning and socialization. Removal of these problem foods and improvement of diet can greatly increase the child's ability to learn and listen.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
We now offer a food sensitivity test which tests for IgG mediated sensitivity to about 200 foods. This test includes every day foods and alternatives such as cow, sheep and goat dairy, gluten, quinoa, rice as well as many teas, spices and ingredients not typically found in traditional IgG tests.
We also provide lab testing through Genova Diagnostics for nutritional markers, hormones, gastrointestinal function and more!

She is experienced in all stages of life including; pediatrics, geriatrics, prenatal, lactation, pre pregnancy, pre menapausal and more.

Our dietitians can do a home visit to help you make better nutrition decisions for you and your family based on what's in your kitchen. Whether it be food, toxic cleaning supplies, toxic cookware or food storage, not keeping the kitchen properly stocked can be a major barrier to making necessary changes. Our dietitians will help you stock your kitchen the healthy way so you and your family can begin healing.
