Who is Leigh?
I’m a nutritionist (technically an integrative and functional medicine dietitian) who has 13 years of experience, and even more training, in digging into the “why” of your health problems. I have also mentored many doctors, nurses, dietitians and students throughout my time at an integrative medicine clinic at an academic medical center.
I'd say I'm the definition of a life-long learner. I earned my PhD in Medical Nutrition Science, and a few months later I started a Positive Psychology coaching program - I can’t help myself. This makes me curious, by nature, and I love digging into the roots of your health issues.
I’ve spent 20 years studying the human body, nutrition science, behavior change, motivation, supplementation, and strategies for human flourishing. I love applying that knowledge to helping clients make changes based on their life and nutritional needs to feel their best and find ease with their relationship with food and their bodies.
Who are you?
You’re health-conscious; you eat pretty well, exercise is likely a priority, but you still have a nagging (and likely perplexing) health issue. You’ve maybe been to one or several doctors to try to figure out what is going on, and they’ve either told you “you’re fine” or “everything is normal” or “this is just the way it will be.” You’re willing to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of your health issue because being your best is critical to achieving your ideal life!
You are also curious about health and the latest research on the topic. You enjoy learning and you never settle for status quo.
Bottom line, you’re ready feel better. You just want to know what you need to do to feel like yourself again.
