Welcome!

I’m Natalie, a registered dietitian nutritionist, functional medicine practitioner, and certified exercise physiologist

I love all things food and nutrition- and talk about it for a living! My goal is to help you discover the root cause of disease and fully heal and balance from the inside out.

All that combined and you have the functional medicine foodie!

I specialize in gut health and hormone balancing, both of which go hand in hand!

My Background

I have a comprehensive background in nutrition and wellness that includes:

— Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine through a collaborative program provided by the University of Western States and the Institute of Functional Medicine. This is the only fully accredited Master’s program in Functional Medicine.

— Bachelor’s degree in Dietetics from University of Northern Colorado

— Bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science from Black Hills State University

—Certified Exercise Physiologist & Certified Personal Trainer from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)

I’ve been in the nutrition and wellness industry

For over 15 years

I have dealt with my own health issues firsthand including *reversing my own autoimmune disease* (it wasn’t easy but it can happen!) and working with thousands of patients to heal their gut and balance hormones.

I currently do a variety of things as a registered dietitian nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner including:

  • Own a successful private practice, Natalie Nicole Nutrition, LLC, where I provide comprehensive nutrition consulting to individuals and groups; teach nutrition seminars; and run corporate wellness programs for various companies.
  • Work as a corporate wellness dietitian for Crossover Health at Apple, Inc. in Austin, Texas.
  • Do medical reviews and write nutrition and wellness articles for popular wellness sites including Healthline Media, Greatist, Medical News Today, and WellnessVerge.
  • AND- am the one behind this website as the Functional Medicine Foodie, where I sift through all of the (mis)information in the world of health to bring you evidence based articles and resources on all things health and wellness- including my favorite topics: hormones and gut health!

Cheers to great health!
