  • Social and emotional wellness

By the end of your first appointment, you’ll have

  • Personalized recipe and meal ideas

  • We may also request testing or lab work from your doctor and have suggestions for supplements.

3. Choose your program

As integrative and functional dietitians, we use The Institute of Functional Medicine’s 5R framework to address digestive issues and optimize overall health.  Our programs have been developed based on the 5R protocol combined with years of experience working with clients. We love getting answers to digestive problems quickly so you can feel better faster.

  1. Remove –  stressors or triggers negatively impacting the gut, such as SIBO, parasites, yeast, and food intolerances.
  2. Replace –  anything required for optimal digestion, such as Betaine HCl, pancreatic enzymes, and bile salts.
  3. Reinoculate – with probiotic and prebiotic food and supplements to create a more robust microbiome.
  4. Repair –  the lining of the GI tract through specific nutrients and anti-inflammatory support.
  5. Rebalance –  by modifying lifestyle choices that impact the gut, such as sleep, stress, movement, and environment.

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…

HIGHLY recommend The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health. I have struggled with severe IBS/acid reflux symptoms for 6 years with little to no relief (even with working with other professionals). Since partnering with Rachel, the quality of my life has changed SO much; I have not felt this good in years!

I have gone from having to take 10+ daily GI prescriptions, frequent hospital visits, and having so much anxiety around food – to being empowered and knowledgable about what fuels my body best, having to take 0 GI medications, and FINALLY being able to live my life normally again after searching for answers to what was causing me pain for what felt like an eternity.

Rachel took the time and really listened to every symptom and concern I had and addressed every single one. I couldn’t be more thankful I chose to partner with Rachel and The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health!!!

B.H.

I had been living with gastro-intestinal issues for years and assumed it was issues with wheat and dairy and gradually tried to work them out of my diet with mixed results. But this past year I experienced two bouts of more acute issues and my doctor referred me to Jenny Askew’s practice – The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health. He spoke highly of Jenny’s two assistants so when I called for my first consultation I was assigned to Rachel.

Rachel and I have just completed my six-week LEAP program and I have been so happy with my experience to date!

I’m a very motivated patient who is willing to tweak my diet as needed so I’ve soaked up everything Rachel has offered me! She is pleasant, encouraging and so knowledgeable! We meet via Zoom and move right along through my session. No time is wasted because Rachel has all the information she needs at her fingertips, on her computer. She quickly found recipes for me, checked out the menu of a particular restaurant I was soon to visit, found non-mint toothpaste suggestions, checked ingredients on several products, and much more – all while we worked through the program together.

I also really appreciate the resources Rachel made available to me for ordering recommended supplements and products.

I have been so happy with the results! This LEAP system has made a huge difference for me. My symptoms have almost completely disappeared. Thank you Rachel!
