What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is a holistic approach to food and lifestyle changes based on the idea that the body can restore optimal health when we balance and improve your Foundations. Those Foundations include: blood sugar regulation, proper digestion, gut health, metabolism, nutrient dense foods that give your body the building blocks as well as vitamins and minerals it needs to turn back on, proper hydration and lifestyle changes that enhance it all. No matter what you have going on or why you may have found yourself here, we ALWAYS start with the Foundations. These are the pillars that help to restore balance so your body can do what it does best … heal you. Our bodies are amazing. They want to heal and have the blueprint to do so! Let me teach you how!
Bioindividuality is the name of the game…
As a Nutritional Therapist my goal is to help optimize your health and nutrition goals, through holistic nutrition and lifestyle support. Each person is different, and because of this, we take a bio-individualized approach to help you develop sustainable habits and lifestyle shifts, specific to you and your goals. Nutritional Therapy uses a food first approach, while also looking to restore balance to your overall system. This approach is built on six foundations:
Nutrient Dense Foods - The right mix of vitamins and minerals is at the heart of what makes our bodies run - efficiently or not so efficiently. What we eat and how we prepare it matters. We will deep dive into the foods that give you the most bang for your buck and will help you nourish and rebuild every cell of your body.
Optimizing Digestion and Gut Health - You are what you absorb, not necessarily what you eat. Optimizing your digestion takes a North to South approach. Do you have enough stomach acid to breakdown and absorb nutrition. How’s your gut health look? Do you have symptom of leaky gut? Are you pooping regularly? What foods are right for someone who has gut health issues. We will identify any stressors or nutritional deficiencies that need to be addressed to optimize your gut health.
Hormonal Balance - The thyroid and your hormones run the show - they control your mood, immune system, ability to think, sleep and your metabolism, so it is incredibly important to support this system. We work together to optimize your hormones through education, food, and lifestyle changes.
Blood Sugar Regulation - This is so foundational because this goes hand in hand with your hormonal system and how you feel each day - it affects your sleep, cognition, mood, weight - just about everything. We will learn how to build a proper plate with nutritious food to support your levels.
Vitamin and Mineral Balance - Minerals and vitamins are the messengers that run every single system in the body. When we balance these - good things start to happen. We will deep dive into where you may be lacking, and what foods and supplements could be helpful.
Cleaning Up Environmental Toxins - Not only do we need to optimize our body and our plates, but cleaning up as many chemicals and incorporating daily practices that will help your body to come back on is pivotal. We remove what’s causing the issues and replace them with less toxic versions.
Lifestyle + Mindset Changes - This is what ties it all in together. We work to optimize sleep and wake times that will improve circadian rhythm, when and how to exercise to to get you to your health goals but not over stress the system and we work on developing the right mindset to power this whole process.
The goal is to help you optimize your health and feel your best. This isn’t about restriction, but rather to gain the knowledge you need to make Nourishing choices in all areas of your life and Empower your future.
Who is this for?
FRUSTRATED WITH NO ANSWERS
You’ve seen the doctor and run the lab test and they all tell you you are “fine”. The problem is you don’t feel fine. You feel stuck and need someone to help you figure out what’s going on so you can make changes and feel normal.
OVERWHELMED BY TOO MUCH NOISE
You’ve tried keto, paleo, faster way to fat loss, low carb, intermittent fasting … you’ve tired it all but you still feel off and stuck. You’re sick of being confused by all of the contradictory information out there.
YOU'VE TAKEN EVERY SUPPLEMENT…
You’ve followed the advice of every influencer out there, read all the books, taken all the “superfood” supplements, yet you’re still stuck
PS…. I did all these too, until I realized how to set my foundations
Maybe it’s time to look under the hood and strengthen those FOUNDATIONS
Love letters from my clients

Germaine has been a true blessing to me! She has a vast knowledge of the body and what works and what does not work for individuals and their specific needs. Personally, I have more issues than most people, and with her expertise, she has helped me and my body immensely. I have learned so much through working with her, the one on one, and the resources that she provides. I have monumental improvements with her guidance. I had a clogged milk duct in my right armpit since I gave birth to my twins 22 YEARS ago. The clogged milk duct is now gone, and that pathway is opened up!!! This is just one example of what her research and guidance have done for me. I could not be more grateful for Germaine and her mentorship with me.

I can’t begin to say enough great remarks about Germaine! She has made a very strong and positive impact on me. She explained everything to me in a way that I could easily understand and remember. She was very patient with me as I asked a million questions. She was great with follow-up and making sure I had everything i needed. I have also found her website to be a great resource for delicious recipes - many of her recipes are part of a regular rotation for me.
Germaine is such a positive person who radiates happiness and excitement. You can tell she loves sharing her knowledge of nutrition and helping others. She has made it easy for me to maintain a healthy diet.

What I loved about meeting with Germaine was how she listened to my personal health issues and goals and then she helped me create a nutrition plan that was practical.
Her nutritional advice is based on excellent research about health and free from “fad diets and latest trends.” She has done all the research and then explains it in a practical way! I have had great results and I feel fantastic!

I did not know what to expect going into this. Immediately in our first meeting, Germaine showed how interested she is in helping and her amazing knowledge about nutrition. She did not try to coerce me into a strange diet; instead, she showed me how to properly balance foods that I already enjoy. In short, she is fun and great!
Jessica
It was a great experience. I learned so much about how to build my plate and why certain foods are better than others. I am down 5 pounds am sleeping better at night and have more energy during the day.
