Jessica Haskin, RD, CDN, CNSC
gut health guru
Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a family-oriented adventurer with a passion for travel and culture. When I’m not connecting with clients, I find joy exploring new places and cuisines, constantly seeking the next adventure. Back home, I cherish time with my close-knit family and friends, whether it’s relaxing on the beach, enjoying a game of mah jong, or taking long walks through NYC.
Sarah Kamely, MS, RD, LDN, CNSC
CLINICAL EXPERT WITH AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
Hi, I’m Sarah! I am a sun-loving early-riser who lives for morning walks, is fiercely devoted to family and friends, and dreams of growing all my favorite fruits and veggies in a backyard garden one day. When I’m not seeing clients, you can find me working on recipes (+ filming them), at a pilates class, or making a detailed itinerary with a dedicated Google map for my next trip. I currently reside in Miami, FL with my partner and our mini aussiedoodle, Meli.
Nina Passero, FDN-P
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner
Hi, I’m Nina! I am a tender hearted problem solver, who likes to think outside the box and connect the dots. My boundless sense of curiosity allows me to take a dynamic approach to healing — weaving together my love for functional testing, Chinese Medicine, nervous system regulation and more. When I am not building relationships with my clients, I am spending quality time with the people I love, being present, and giving tight hugs.

Does any of this resonate?
- You’ve tried to lose weight countless times. But you can't seem to keep it off no matter how hard you try.
- You struggle with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, hemorrhoids, abdominal discomfort, or just a general feeling of “blah”.
- Anxiety or panic attacks rule your life even though you’ve tried all sorts of treatments and therapies.
- You find choosing what to eat intimidating and you stress about social events.
- You’ve been trying to piece it all together but, the more you read, the more confused you get.
- You’ve tried a ton of “popular” diets but they didn’t work for you. Or you’re eager to eat intuitively and “love your body,” but you also don’t want to gain weight in the process.
- You’ve gone to countless doctor appointments but have never received a real answer. Or your symptoms have been dismissed as “not a big deal.”
- You have mysterious symptoms or have felt worse after seeing functional health care providers.
- You've done excessive testing, spent so much month, and haven't felt like you've gotten better even when working with functional providers.
- You’re feeling alone on your health journey.

The Battle Plan
aka our secret sauce
The hardest part of making health changes for some people is actually knowing what to do. After trying so many different diets, reading so many different things on Instagram, I usually hear clients saying, “Please just tell me what to eat already!”
While health isn’t as simple as printing some 1200 calorie generic meal plan off the internet, it also doesn’t have to be so hard and confusing either.
That’s where your Battle Plan comes in!
To make the journey as straightforward and easy to follow as possible, we create a highly individualized plan after each initial consultation. We call it a “Battle Plan” because it strategically targets overall health from every angle (lifestyle, breath work, supplements, movement, scheduling, and of course- food!) It is a lengthy and extremely specific document that works as a step-by-step guide for how to feel better and heal.

The key to any good plan is a solid schedule so you can stick to your habits. You’ll get everything from a suggested meal ritual to a meditation, hydration, and movement schedule. I’ll break it down in a very individualized and easy to follow way that suits YOU and your life.
