That slurping sound in your saliva ejector? It’s your mouth’s way of tattling on your sugar habits, and trust me, it’s saying more than you think.

Reset Your Gut, Hormones & Energy
With Root-Cause Nutrition & Lifestyle Support from Your Functional Nutrition Ally,
Khristina Maureen
You’ve done what should work:
clean eating, better sleep, more movement,
maybe even a stack of supplements.
But your body still feels off.
You’re not broken, your body is speaking.
If you’re stuck in the cycle of quick fixes and temporary relief, it’s time for a different approach.
Through Functional Nutrition, we’ll uncover what your body’s been trying to tell you and create a personalized path to steady energy, calm hormones, and lasting clarity.
Meet Khristina Maureen

Mom, everyday woman, and your Ally in root-cause health.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped people protect their smiles, but what I saw went far beyond the mouth. I saw fatigue. Gut struggles. Hormonal chaos. Chronic inflammation no one could explain. And truthfully? I wasn’t just seeing it in patients, I was living it myself. That’s what drove me to functional nutrition. Now I bring together clinical experience and root-cause nutrition to help you stop chasing symptoms and finally understand the bigger picture your body’s been trying to show you all along. Because your body isn’t broken. It’s been whispering for years. You deserve someone who can help you translate the message, so clarity replaces confusion, and you can finally feel like yourself again.
Using science-backed Functional Nutrition principles,
I support people who feel
Exhausted, foggy, inflamed, even while doing
"everything right.”
Overwhelmed by information or a growing pile of supplements.
Frustrated by “normal” labs but still feel off.
Stuck in the cycle of quick fixes and temporary relief.
Unsure how to connect the dots between gut, hormones, and energy.
Quietly wondering, “Is it just me?” or “What am I missing?”
Whether it’s gut struggles, hormone shifts, chronic stress, immune challenges,
or that vague “off” feeling no one can explain—you’re not alone.
You deserve support that looks at the whole picture, not just the surface.
See What Clarity Feels Like
Why This Functional Nutrition Approach Works
Using Functional Medicine principles, we go beyond symptom management to explore what’s really driving imbalances, so you can feel clearer, calmer,
and more in control of your health.
Step 1: Calm the Inflammation
We identify potential inflammatory triggers and patterns together so you can discover what supports your body best.
Feel more at ease in your body with less discomfort and fatigue.
✔ Start mapping your symptoms back to their root-causes
Step 2: Make It Personal
Your life, your plan. We build a flexible strategy based on your unique story and needs.
Gain clarity on what truly supports your energy, mood, and digestion.
✔ Follow a plan that fits your life, not someone else’s rules
Step 3: Look Deeper
Once symptoms begin to settle, we zoom in on what’s still lingering—whether stress, nutrient gaps, or hidden patterns.
Understand why your symptoms keep returning and what to do next.
✔ Stop chasing quick fixes and see the bigger picture
Step 4: Stay Supported
You won’t do this alone. I walk with you and collaborate with your providers when needed. This is a partnership, not a prescription.
Build lasting habits with guidance and encouragement.
✔ Feel seen, heard, and supported
Ready to stop second-guessing and finally feel heard?
Let’s talk about what’s next for your health.
Functional Nutrition goes beyond symptom management.
It helps you uncover what’s driving your health challenges, and why they’re showing up now.
We look at your story, not just your labs.
Because you’re unique, and so are the patterns behind your symptoms.
No quick fixes. No one-size-fits-all plans.
It’s a whole-body approach that DIGs into how your Digestion, Inflammation, and Genetic tendencies,
along with hormones, stress, and lifestyle—all connect.
Instead of handing you a rigid diet or a pile of supplements, we focus on your unique story, mapping your timeline, uncovering patterns, and creating a plan that actually fits your life.
When we focus on the whole picture, many clients notice:
Calmer cravings and steadier blood sugar
Less bloating and digestive discomfort
Clearer understanding of hormone patterns
More reliable energy throughout the day
You deserve more than band-aid fixes.
I take a limited number of clients each month to ensure personalized support.

From the Dental Chair to Functional Care
Rooted in real stories. Backed by science.
As a Dental Hygienist turned Functional Nutrition Counselor and Holistic Health Practitioner, I’ve learned that the mouth is often the first clue that something deeper is going on.
These posts are inspired by real chairside conversations, where symptoms told a much bigger story.
