Cari is passionate about treating the cause and not the symptom. Food matters! The vast majority of chronic disease is attributed to lifestyle factors, such as poor nutrition. You are what you eat, digest, absorb, and assimilate. A person’s diet impacts every system and process in the body. Nutrition Science is an ever-changing field, leaving many confused with conflicting advice.

She helps patients develop individualized goals, creating a personalized plan tailored to their unique lifestyle, environment, genetics, and specific health needs. She desires to empower the whole person to be their own health advocate ultimately. Programs are designed to educate and motivate, provide support, and goal accountability, and help patients feel better and be better!
