I’m Karri, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
I spent over a decade as a CPA. I’m a numbers person, through and through. In accounting, if something doesn't balance, you don't shrug it off. You dig until you find the discrepancy and figure out why it's there.
While I was building that career, I was also deep into fitness and exercise, spending almost 15 years as a group fitness instructor on top of training hard and eating clean myself. On paper, I looked healthy. On the inside, I wasn't. I was exhausted. My digestion was a mess. My skin wouldn't clear up. And every time I brought it to a doctor, I'd get something to manage the symptom, but never an answer for why it was happening in the first place.
So I did what any numbers person would do: I started digging. That search took me out of corporate accounting and into functional nutrition, where I finally found what I'd been missing: a way to actually investigate the body the same way I'd investigate a balance sheet. Not guessing. Not masking symptoms. Finding the actual imbalance and the reason it's there.
What I do now
Today, I'm a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner working with women who are exhausted, dismissed, and done guessing. Most of my clients have already been told their labs are "normal" and they know something is still off.
I run functional labs, and interpret them using optimal ranges, not just conventional ones. There's a real difference between "not sick" and actually functioning well, and that gap is where most of my clients have been living for years.
I don't hand you a protocol and send you on your way. I explain what's happening in your body and why - your thyroid, your adrenals, your blood sugar, your hormones, your minerals…so you understand the physiology behind your symptoms, not just what to do about them. Nothing in your body operates in isolation, and neither does my work with you.
Who I work with
I work with women dealing with fatigue that doesn't lift, digestive issues that won't resolve, mood swings tied to their cycle, brain fog, disrupted sleep, and the frustration of being told everything looks fine when it clearly isn't. A lot of my clients are also moving through perimenopause and menopause, which is a stage where metabolic health becomes even more central, and one most practitioners don't explain well.
If you're tired of guessing, tired of a cabinet full of supplements that haven't done anything, and ready for answers based on your own physiology, this is the work I do.
