Hi, I’m Dacie, a microbiologist and strength-focused functional nutrition coach. I help people who train consistently and prioritize nutrition but still struggle with bloating, low energy, poor recovery, hormone/metabolism-related concerns, and/or stubborn progress. My background in biomedical sciences, immunology, and microbiology (including six years studying gut pathogens) gives me a physiology-informed perspective on the factors that can contribute to these symptoms. After assessing your nutrition, training load, recovery, stress, and broader lifestyle patterns, I guide you through strategic changes that strengthen the foundational inputs supporting your health rather than relying only on tools designed to manage symptoms. Clients who do best with my coaching: 1) Take ownership of the process; 2) Apply recommendations consistently; 3) Stay engaged even when life gets busy or stressful; and 4) Are open to honest, supportive conversations about the routines, commitments, and patterns that may be undermining their progress and are willing to consider meaningful changes when their current approach is no longer serving their health. Gut, metabolic, and hormone-related progress depends on sustained inputs over time. Short bursts of effort followed by long breaks, frequent “resets,” or waiting to “get back on track later” can keep people stuck. This is not passive coaching. It is a collaborative process built on consistency, honest communication, curiosity, a willingness to look beyond surface-level solutions, and follow-through. For people ready to engage at that level, this approach can be highly effective.
