Food is the Medicine
to Get Your Life Back
• Stop feeling tired • Stop body pain • Stop brain fog • Stop feeling hopeless
Aren’t You Tired of Feeling Tired?
If you are like most people, you have tried what the experts say, but it is just not working. They may have said you are “normal” despite having crushing fatigue, body pain, hair loss, or stomach upset. Perhaps you have modified your diet, but your symptoms have not gone away. If any of this sounds familiar, it is important to realize that you are not alone.
I Believe You
That is the first thing you need to know. You are unique. There is no cure all that works for everyone. If you have tried changes in the past that have not worked, they were simply the wrong solution for you. You did not fail – the solution failed. But that does not mean you cannot get your life back now.
You CAN Change Your Life with Nutrition
Nutrition CAN heal your body and transform your life, but only with the right approach. Changing your life with food does not mean never eating the foods you love again. Using a holistic approach to get to the root of your health problems, I help you find a long-term solution for true healing and getting your life back.
Welcome to Robin Reynolds RD
Hey there! My name is Robin Reynolds, and I am thrilled that you have found me. My mission is to empower you to transform your life through food. Only a holistic and individualized plan can transform your health and your life. I give you all the tools and information you need to start living life with confidence. You will know you are making the right choices based on what your body needs.
Many of the people I help are suffering from autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. They may have had little or no success with advice and prescriptions from other healthcare providers and feel like there is no hope of getting their health back.
You Can Transform Your Life with the Right Plan
"I was in poor physical and mental health, and not managing my chronic diseases very well. I needed someone to give me more direct guidance and to help me overcome the cycle of failure. I've learned more about managing and controlling my blood sugar through the hands-on tools that you've introduced, including charts, Better App, and supplements. I've learned more about how my "conditions" affect my weight and health, and that the scales do not determine success. I've learned, through your online group support, how to plan meals based on "what I like" and still eat healthy.
You are so personable and understanding that I feel like I'm sitting down with a VERY knowledgeable friend. I feel that you are interested in "what's eating me" and we can talk about the obstacles that have impeded my success in the past. You helped me to understand that OUR goal is to improve my health rather than reaching a magical number on the scale.
I would highly recommend that others work with you because you care, and because you don't expect your clients to take a meal plan and walk the journey alone. I'm so glad that I found you, and grateful for where I am on this journey!” - Connie Toney
Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy
The foundation of my approach is uncovering the root cause of your health issues that conventional medicine has failed to resolve. Over many years of practice, and helping hundreds of patients, I have discovered most of the people I work with find life changing relief through an integrative and functional nutrition therapy approach.
This approach doesn’t just look to manage or prevent disease, but rather takes a deeper look at the root causes such as:
- Genetic predisposition
- Diet
- Lifestyle habits
- Relationships
- External environment
Functional medicine integrates the best of traditional Western medical practices with what is sometimes called “alternative” or “integrative” medicine. It focuses on healing through taking information through the latest innovations in laboratory testing and responding to what the science tells us with nutrition, diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
Integrative Medicine is an Individualized Holistic Approach to Healing
“I was overweight, high A1C, fatigue and lack of stamina. Robin helped change my eating lifestyle not only to lose weight, but lower A1C and improve cholesterol lab work.
Robin is one of the best medical professionals that I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience in my health care! She has literally helped change my eating and hopefully extended my longevity of life. My lab work including my A1C is much better. I am now receiving care by a hematologist to treat the hemochromatosis which she found in reviewing my health DNA. My fatigue and stamina are improving.
Robin combines a personal yet very professional tough love approach to her practice. She knows labs as they relate to diet like no one else I’ve experienced. I would definitely recommend Robin to anyone needing a dietitian! I will forever be grateful for my life changing experience with Robin.” – Stevie Cherepski
