Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condition that affects the glands responsible for producing tears, saliva, and the body’s other lubricating secretions leading to dry eyes and/or mouth. Oral dryness can lead to difficulty speaking, swallowing and tasting foods as well as cavities, mouth infections, dry lips, and/or burning throat. Dry eyes can cause blurry vision and sensitivity to bright lights. Sjogren’s can be difficult to diagnose and can go years before diagnosis is made, as many of the symptoms can be side effects of medications, allergies, and hormonal changes.

Nutritional Therapy Discussions Include:

The importance of the gastrointestinal tract on the management of autoimmunity
Ways to optimize your bacterial ratios in the GI tract
Foods to help “heal and seal” the gut
The role of stress on the body
Therapeutic foods to incorporate
Foods to avoid for symptoms relief
Targeted nutritional supplementation

Hey There, I'm Nicole!

I'm Nicole, Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist — and a Hashimoto's patient and busy momma of three who has been in your shoes. I spent years trying to figure out why I felt so off despite doing all the "right" things, and that experience completely shaped the way I work with women today.

My whole approach is built around nourishing your body with real food you actually want to eat, not white-knuckling your way through a six-week protocol that leaves you more exhausted and more confused than when you started. Because restriction doesn't heal anything. Real, sustainable nourishment does.

I'm a college professor and educator at heart— I teach a range of classes from freshman level "Introduction to Nutrition" and graduate-level Women's Health and Nutrition courses, and that passion for making complex science click in plain English is woven into everything I do. If you leave a session without actually understanding why we're doing what we're doing, we haven't done our job.

I love going on long walks while listening to an audiobook (my FAVORITE is The Count of Monte Cristo, but I'm currently reading Lord of the Rings), being totally outnumbered with my three wild kiddos, eating yummy food, sipping a good cup of coffee, and (trying) to crochet!

Whether you're running on fumes no matter how much you sleep, trying to make sense of a Hashimoto's or thyroid diagnosis, dealing with periods that knock you completely sideways, navigating PCOS, struggling with cholesterol or blood sugar that won't cooperate, or carrying weight that refuses to budge no matter what you try — please know you are not alone. And more importantly, there is an actual reason you feel this way.
At Chews Food Wisely, we're not here to hand you a meal plan and wish you luck. We're here to look at your full picture — your labs, your symptoms, your life — and find the connections that explain why your body has been doing what it's been doing. Then we build you back up with real food, realistic strategies, and a plan that fits your actual life. Not a protocol designed for someone else's body.
