As a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and functional medicine nutritionist, I help you navigate complex health conditions using diet, targeted supplementation, and laboratory testing, as well as assessing lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and movement to help you feel good in your body.

My goal is to help you identify and address root causes of health issues to provide lasting results and symptom resolution.

Labs

Laboratory testing offers valuable insight into your health, uncovering imbalances that may be affecting your energy, digestion, hormones, detoxification, and overall well-being. Results can provide a roadmap for creating a personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement plan tailored to your body’s needs. This data-driven approach ensures that recommendations are targeted and part of a truly comprehensive care strategy.

What Clients Are Saying

  • I have been working with Sharon for a few months, in the beginning she provided me with a very good plan (simple enough to follow, but great enough to make a real impact). I have truly noticed a major difference in my body, which positively impacts my mental health too! I appreciate Sharon's approach and personality, she is a great listener and really delivers.

    - Koen

  • I have been seeing Sharon since March this year and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I used to constantly get sick and struggled with my health. With Sharon's help and guidance, we discovered I had a dairy allergy among other things. My quality of life has improved sooooo much!! If it was not for Sharon I would still be struggling. She listens and she genuinely cares.

    - Maria J. -Google

  • Working with Sharon gave me empathetic guidance for a complete lifestyle overhaul. I've been trying to DIY my diet and exercise routines, and the difference in effectiveness between having Sharon's expert knowledge and just "researching" on Reddit or from popular doctors online is huge. Diet is a habitual and emotional part of life that is often deeper than just food intake. Sharon's approach of meeting people where they are, keeping things measured and scientific with nutrient tracking and routine labs, and focusing on building a sustainable baseline works for me. Never in my life did I think I'd "crave" fiber and lifting weights, but Sharon made it happen. Also, much less period pain, eczema flare-ups resolved, better sleep schedule, less fatigue... insane. Thank you, Sharon!!

    - Sarah

  • It has been an amazing experience working with Sharon. Since working with her I have seen positive changes in my overall health and wellbeing. She has helped me establish a new nutritional routine. I have always had difficulty eating breakfast and getting enough protein and fiber in my diet and she taught me why these are so important! Sharon has helped me adjust my eating patterns which has made a huge difference in my digestive health. It has been incredible having someone so knowledgeable and kind as part of my care team.

    - E. L.

  • Sharon is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and sensitive to my health issues and needs. After years of being dismissed by doctors and other health coaches, Sharon was able to give me answers to my gut health issues. She created individualized and attainable strategies for my health goals as well as encouraging alternative testing and approaches for my SIBO and hormonal imbalances. She has given me invaluable nutrition information that has helped me understand my body and how to best support it. I highly recommend working with Sharon. She is the ultimate nutritionist to support you through any nutrition needs!

    - Anonymous

  • It has been wonderful working with Sharon Ona. She has relived a significant amount of my stress in regards to my health concerns. I appreciate Sharon's wholistic approach to my individual care. I can't express how happy I am that I have found someone that listens and gives psychoeducational advice. I have the support I needed after trying to educate myself for years.

    - B. P.

  • I found Sharon to knowledgeable, thorough and professional. Working with her changed how I view everything I eat and eliminated the pain I was having after every meal. I highly recommend her.

 FAQs

  • Functional medicine nutrition takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to identify and address underlying causes of illness or imbalance. It considers each person’s unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to their overall health. Instead of the conventional disease-centered model, functional medicine nutrition takes a personalized approach to restore balance.

    My job is to work as a detective, guide, and listener to help restore balance through diet and lifestyle interventions.
