Do you struggle with...

POOR SLEEP & FATIGUE

DIGESTION

WEIGHT GAIN

BLOOD SUGAR

MOOD SWINGS

PERIOD PROBLEMS

It's Time To Take Radical Ownership Of Your Health.

80% of women suffer from a hormonal imbalance.

72% of women say they've experienced medical gaslighting-- healthcare providers downright dismissing, downplaying or not believing patients when they share their symptoms.

Women are tired of being ignored, dismissed or told their "bloodwork looks normal," even though they don't feel normal.

Symptoms are often chalked up to stress, hormones or depression and the mainstream solution is a prescription medication during a 20 minute office visit.

Consider this your invitation.

To give your body the tools it needs to heal so you can get back to living life + reclaim your time, freedom & energy.

No more confusion. No more overwhelm on what to eat. No more second-guessing how to fix your symptoms.

This is a straight-forward, science-backed approach that WORKS.

Check out some of the results our clients are loving...

JENNA LOST WEIGHT, HEALED HER GUT & GOT PREGNANT!

"I feel SO CONFIDENT to make healthy decisions based on MY health journey and test results. This is extremely empowering."

"Working with you fixed a million things I was struggling with! I have no more headaches, better sleep, higher energy throughout the day etc. I would also like to note I started seeing the most changes physically after 6 months of work. This also happened to be when I got pregnant and that did NOT stop the progress. I feel better now while expecting a baby than I have in a long time!!"

NINA LOST 20 POUNDS, HEALED HER INSULIN RESISTANCE & GOT HER ENERGY BACK!

"The testing was different, the game plan was fully laid out and available to me. There wasn’t a ton of run around. What you told me to do worked, simple as that!"

"There has been so much improvement. I came not having a clue how to fix all these things. I had worked with a naturopath doctor, traditional doctor, a dietician, and holistic nutritionist. Hardly anything changed or improved. From the start I could tell a difference. You did a wonderful job explaining to me what i needed to know and how it applied to my symptoms. Some wins: depression is gone, brain fog is gone, afternoon slump is gone, insulin resistance is gone, sleeping through the night, lost 20 lbs, PMS is gone!"

MIRANDA GOT RID OF JOINT PAIN, CLEARED HER ACNE AND CAN EAT DAIRY AGAIN!

"I couldn't eat dairy for as long as I can remember. I’ve still had no reactions! My acne is gone! I’m truly so blown away. I never thought this would happen!

"My goal was to get answers that showed something other than being told “your bloodwork is normal." I wanted to find the root cause of joint pain in my knees, fix my stomach pain / stomach issues, and clear my skin. My joint pain has dramatically decreased, my digestion is so much better, my acne has 100% cleared, I've learned how to nourish my body!"

We help you heal from the inside out, using a root cause approach.

You get to have easy, pain free periods again.

You don't have to deal with fear that what you eat is going to upset your stomach.

You get to have enough energy to keep up with life.

Step into confidence and trust your body again -- your body is your partner, not against you.

We go deep into the physiology of your body and address what's driving your symptoms and WHY you don't feel your best.

All without elimination diets, restriction, or extremes.

You can feel confident in your food choices.

Raise your hand if this is you...

You feel confused because you feel like you're already doing the "right things," yet nothing seems to work.

You're tired of being dismissed, gaslit or ignored by medical providers and know there's a better way to support your health.

You're beyond ready to stop being held hostage by your hormones, unpredictable digestion, and can't wait to consistently have energy, and stamina again.

You want a simple approach to nutrition, you want to know how to nourish your body and not live on salads, and feel satiated and stable throughout the day.

Hi! I'm Margaret and I've been in your shoes...

I was the girl put on hormonal birth control at 16 years old to help "clear my skin" and get rid of my awful period every month. I spent most of my 20's completely disconnected from my body, over-exercising, skipping meals, and addicted to stress.

After multiple miscarriages, back to back pregnancies, and putting myself on the back burner my body started screaming for help.

I had horrific acne & inflammation. I was constantly bloated, anxiety, and my period knocked me down for days every single month.

As a mom of two kids, I was determined to regain my health and pursued bloodwork with my doctor.

"Your labs look great!" I was then offered a medication for my acne and told to go back on birth control for my period problems.

I said "no thanks!" and started researching on my own.

Lots books, podcasts, youtube videos, and scrolling instagram lead me to trying EVERYTHING. Liver cleanses, celery juicing, intermittent fasting, plant-based diet, gluten free, dairy free.

Nothing really worked and my mental health really started to suffer. I became obsessed with my symptoms.

I said enough is enough and went back to school for holistic nutrition, and vulnerably shared my entire health journey on instagram-- what was working and what wasn't.

When I discovered functional nutrition and functional lab testing in 2020, my health started to transform. I am healthier and more vibrant in my 30's than I was 10 years ago.

I found solutions, answers and hope and put my process and methodology into a program that uses a food first approach paired with the insights of functional lab testing.

We've since helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more.

Fueled & Free Nutrition has helped over 300+ women navigate:

THYROID ISSUES

GUT INFLAMMATION

SKIN ISSUES

RESISTANCE

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I know I still have more ways to improve but I am feeling so good! I kept telling my family and friends, I feel good inside! My dad is a chiropractor and historically I would be desperate to get to the next adjustment and need a lot of "work." The past few times I've gone he's been very impressed how little I need as well as how I've held my adjustment. I think this is a true testament to finally being able to say I feel good inside! I just am so thankful for you, the content you share, the labs that validate how I feel!"

- Suzanne G.

No more bloating, gut issues gone & she's pregnant!

"My goal was to have more energy, get to the root cause of my gut issues, get pregnant, feel overall better in my day to day and stop the massive bloating after every meal. I did get pregnant! I do not belch or struggle with eating anymore. I found out what my gut and minerals were like which helped know exactly how to treat my pain. No more leg cramps! I enjoy food and feel better!"

- Ellie H.

Functional Lab Breakdown:

Hair Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

This test is valued at $99 and included in both of our packages. We use this preventative screening tool to assess your body's mineral levels and presence of heavy metals.

Minerals affect blood sugar, digestion, hormone production, energy levels, your mental health, adrenals & thyroid, and so much more.

This test can give an early warning to a more chronic issue well before bloodwork can.

GI MAP Stool Test

This gut test is valued at $350 and included for Deep Dive clients only. It evaluates your microbiome for presence of bacteria infections, parasites, measures your intestinal health, and gives data that shows how your immune system is doing.

When your gut microbiome is not well supported it impacts things like your thyroid, blood sugar, mental health, immune system, hormones including your fertility, your skin, your weight and of course the not so fun digestive issues.

This is a great question and is dependent on how depleted and inflamed your body is when you start. Some experience major improvements in metabolic markers quickly, while others the process takes longer. Remember that you didn't get to where you are overnight, we can't expect our body to recover from things like chronic stress, under-eating, gut infections, hormone imbalances-- overnight. Remember that we do not heal you. You are ultimately responsible for your healing progress. We guide you, counsel you, provide you with expert advice, protocols, wisdom but it is your responsibility to listen and put in the work.

Yes, however I would join the Jump Start 3 month program and do HTMA testing only. Addressing your vitamins and minerals, blood sugar, prep for postpartum, reducing toxic load, and focusing on intentional nourishment with your nutrition will improve your pregnancy experience, the health of your baby and your postpartum journey.

Yes! However, we would just adjust your protocol accordingly as it's not recommended to be on a detox / gut protocol when pregnant. Some do choose to hold off from trying to conceive while on a gut protocol. I can't say enough how important it is to address your minerals, gut, blood sugar, lifestyle and overall diet in preparation for pregnancy! This intentional work can make such a difference in your pregnancy, the health of your baby and recovery postpartum.

The hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) assesses your body's minerals and metals on a tissue level. It's much more accurate than a blood test and can be a preventative screening tool for things like your adrenal and thryoid health, blood sugar, underlying emotional issues, what stage of stress your body is in and more. Often blood work will show things are normal but the HTMA can show imbalances long before they would show up in the blood. This is a test that every single person can benefit from. And no, you don't need to send in a ton of hair! The GI MAP Microbial Stool test is a gut test that checks for presence of parasites, fungi, yeast, inflammation, intestinal health and presence of bad bacteria, plus the balance of your "good" bacteria. Imbalances in your gut are a root cause for MANY metabolic issues.

Yes, therapeutic grade supplements are a part of your monthly' protocols. Certain supplements can be necessary to support drainage and detoxification, especially in preparation for a gut protocol. Depending on the results of your gut test, you can expect to be on gut supplements for 30-60 days or 90+ days (ex. candida overgrowth is a longer protocol). Expect to spend $150-200 a month on average on your supplements.While we do take a food first approach, therapeutic grade supplements are helpful to address gut issues, fine tune hormones, and replenish depleted nutrients.

You will be prompted to download our private app a few days before your intake starts. You will be able to message your practitioner within the private app. Expect a response within 24 hours, Monday through Friday. We have a community thread within the app that you'll be added to as well! Your package includes a monthly 30 minute zoom check in. We do set aside time at the end of our zoom workshops to ask questions as well.
