Unlock your health potential, transform your life.
Achieve optimal health with the personalized guidance and expertise of a Functional Medicine Nutritionist.
My approach …
Functional Medicine Nutrition is rooted in the belief that true wellness goes beyond symptom management. Together we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to address the underlying cause of health issues, focusing on the intricate connection between diet and supplements, exercise, and overall lifestyle.
It is personalized.
Each of us is unique and I take the time to get to know you, your health history, and your health-related concerns and goals. I actively listen, and this process often helps me discover the root cause of what may be making you feel unwell.
It is thorough.
I take many things into account that could be positively and negatively affecting your health, and I make recommendations which attempt to address every area where you have concern.

It is evidence-based.
Nutrition information can be very confusing, and there is no shortage of opinions on what the best way to eat and live may be! I rely on sound scientific research as I make recommendations for you.
It focuses on food first.
One of the most powerful ways you can improve your health is to change what you are putting in your mouth. While adding a few new supplements or a new exercise program may be beneficial, the most dramatic improvements occur when there is a transition towards eating more nutritious, whole real foods.
“Working with Paula has truly been one of the most mind-opening and self-evolving experiences I have ever had. I can’t say ENOUGH good things. You truly are left feeling more confidence within yourself!”
— Andrea, Nelms Nutrition, LLC Client
It boosts confidence.
It is one thing to know what to eat, and quite another to know how to make it happen. As lack of confidence in meal planning and cooking are the top reasons most people give for not eating healthier, my interactive, hands-on support services for effective grocery shopping, meal planning, meal preparation, and cooking position you for long-term success.
It includes follow-up.
Research tells us that the most successful outcomes occur when we work together over time. Changing how you eat and live can be incredibly challenging, and I am here to help you overcome obstacles as you create and meet short- and long-term goals to improve your health.
“Paula did not overwhelm me with too much information too soon and instead allowed me to adopt new ways of eating and supplementation at a pace that was really comfortable for me.”
— Logan, Nelms Nutrition, LLC Client
It is patient and provides understanding.
Some of us may be ready to go all-in and make multiple changes very quickly, while others may feel more confident focusing on one or two changes at a time. These two extremes and everything in between are perfectly appropriate, and together we can build a plan that respects your personal preferences and needs and that moves at a pace which works best for you.
I am super excited to meet you!
