Adult Functional Medicine

Lindsay is a Colorado native but a Floridian at heart. Her journey in health and wellness began from a place of illness. After many misdiagnoses from 18 months, to suffering medication injury to suffering physical injuries due to an active lifestyle, Lindsay began researching ways to heal on her own. Lindsay has since healed her body and has come off more than 15 prescription medications over ten years ago. It was from this place that Lindsay’s complete devotion to health and wellness for herself and for others, began.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in business, and a master’s degree in education, Lindsay spent over 15 years teaching in the special education sector in Title One schools as one of the country’s highest-trained reading teachers. This is where she noticed a massive link missing in the chain between students and their success, it was nutrition.

Between her students, her own health and being a mother of a child on the autism spectrum disorder, she knew it was time to shift her focus from teaching reading to teaching nutrition. Ten years ago, Lindsay became passionate and completely devoted to healing on every level. She became obsessed with healing the gut, leveling blood sugar, and educating clients and their families on how to put the dimmer switch on the symptoms of diagnoses such as Crohn’s, SIBO, GERD, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic inflammation, autism, ADD and ADHD.

For the last eight years, Lindsay has known it was about more than just what people were and were not eating. Education, self-esteem, confidence and lifestyle management are all important variables in the multifactorial system that is health and wellness. Lindsay operates from the philosophy that we are all unique, all things matter and everything is connected. It is important to Lindsay not just to fix the problem but to get to the root to figure out why there is something going on to begin with, beyond the food and into the heart.

Lindsay’s educational journey continued as she became a certified health coach, a certified personal trainer and graduated at the top of her class from the Functional Nutrition Alliance and is a certified functional nutrition counselor. Her goal is to provide a therapeutic partnership between herself, her clients and their practitioners. Lindsay believes in honest communication and collaboration from all parties involved in client care in order to move clients from heal to ideal in terms of their health and wellness.

As a certified health coach, Lindsay understands the intimate relationship we have with food, how it is created and how to become more objective within that relationship. She is a master at providing a variety of tools to help clients see a different perspective in creating a healthier relationship with food, therefore, leading to better nutrition. She knows the importance of meeting people where they are at and allowing their progress to move at a natural pace, breaking out of the diet culture and into long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes.

Lindsay continues to study herbal medicine and the world of nutraceuticals to further her education on how to best serve clients. She is an avid reader, reading one new book per week, always with a focus on self-help, self-development, mindset, spirituality, nutrition studies and alternative methods to healing. Lindsay is a solution-oriented health coach who is always seeking answers in an effort to keep everyone moving, growing and going forward.

Lindsay currently lives on a beautiful acre property in central Florida where three out of her four brothers live with their families as well as her parents. She enjoys hiking, camping, deep-sea fishing, boating, kayaking, riding ATVs, and growing her own food. You can always find her on adventures with her 12-year-old son Maclain, 12 and their Belgian Malinois, Casey. As a personal trainer, Lindsay is passionate about weightlifting and has started her journey into competitive bodybuilding. Lindsay maintains balance through meditation, kundalini yoga, and breathwork.
