Weight Management

The diet industry leads us to believe that a good physique and optimal health are all about calories in versus calories out.And, to be honest, most dietitians are taught that exact principle.However, the human body is much more complex than that. If only obtaining the optimal physique was as simple as punching numbers into a calculator and getting the exact result you are looking for! Instead, the body is much more like a thermostat that responds in ebbs and flows to what we put into it; physically, mentally, and spiritually. After all, 100 calories of kale and 100 calories of sugar have very different results in the body.

What we eat acts as chemical messengers that either tell the body to perpetuate a diseased state or enhance your health. Functional medicine aims to identify the root cause of conditions versus pacifying and quieting your nagging symptoms. Similarly, functional nutrition therapy realizes that the millions of molecules of information we get from eating affects how our cells react and behave, both with and against us.

Food can either be the most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. With every bite you could be closer to your ideal physique all while freeing yourself from the shackles of yo-yo dieting.

Digging deep into your “story” through detailed patient intake interviews and advanced laboratory testing, including hormone, nutrient, inflammation, blood sugar, stool panels, and food sensitivity testing, allows Nicole to create a road-map of what your body truly needs instead of simply silencing your symptoms, including excess weight and fat retention. Nicole’s functional nutrition therapy is a leading-edge, evidence-based approach that combines modern medicine, clinical wisdom, and appreciation for individuality that provides a scientific purpose for what you should eat to achieve your goals.

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.
