  3. Schedule your blood draw (if needed) with one of our recommended blood draw sites listed below.
    • Please check for any possible delays with shipping (holidays, bad weather, etc.) when planning your appointment.
    • Verify that the blood draw site you’re using will package and ship your completed kit via FedEx. Otherwise, you’ll need to arrange to bring your lab work to a FedEx location after your blood draw.
  4. Let your dietitian know your testing has been completed so your next appointment can be scheduled.
    • It can take 2-3 weeks to get test results back from the lab, make sure you have an appointment scheduled with us to review your test results once they are available.

What our clients are saying…

The Nutrition Clinic was exactly what I was looking for to help me address some complicated health issues. I was dealing with parasites, SIBO, and incredibly underweight. 

I had no idea where to start to address all the health issues and weight loss. I also tend to be a workaholic and let my personal health go; so I knew I would need accountability to stick with any treatment plan.

Rachel was fantastic! Her approach was holistic and thorough. She put together a plan that was doable and broke things down into manageable steps. She was very supportive throughout the entire process.

I was so impressed with the results and am beyond thankful to be feeling better! This was the best investment I made in 2021 (and bonus points, now my partner who was at first skeptical wants to work with a nutritionist too!)

More success stories…

Could not speak more highly about my experience here. I’ve recommended Rachel to all my friends and family and we have all seen great results with a variety of different issues. Personally I have seen major improvement in my gut health and I’m so happy that I found Rachel! I’m looking forward to continuing to work on different things and keep improving my health. Everyone at the clinic is extremely helpful and willing to answer any questions/deep dive into any concerns. I am a customer for life!

Taylor is truly gifted in reading her clients and listening to their needs. She has given me the resources I need to get back on track with eating in a way that my body responds beautifully to. She is extremely knowledgeable and easily answers all questions. I love that she has given me the tools to help balance my hormones through nutrition, and understands how to get me to my goals in a way that motivates me without me having to count or track anything. Thank you so much Taylor! 🙂
