Watch my video to learn how my exact approach helps women finally understand what's creating their gut and hormone symptoms and restore their body's natural capacity to heal—without more restrictive diets, expensive supplements, or band-aid medications forever.
I don't treat your painful cycles, digestive chaos, and food anxiety as separate problems to manage with medications and restrictions. I investigate WHY they developed in the first place.
Your symptoms aren't the problem—they're signals pointing to underlying dysfunction in your gut-hormone connection, systemic inflammation, and the chronic stress created by years of restrictive dieting.
My approach identifies the specific imbalances creating ALL your symptoms, so we can address the source instead of just shutting symptoms up with pills you have to depend on forever.
I don't guess what's wrong—I test for it. While standard labs are designed to catch disease, I use comprehensive functional testing that reveals the dysfunction creating your symptoms.
Gut testing that identifies infections, bacterial overgrowth, and why your body can't eliminate hormones properly. Hormone metabolite patterns that show how your body is processing estrogen. Nutrient deficiencies that are sabotaging your thyroid and energy production. Inflammatory markers that reveal what's disrupting your entire endocrine system.
This is how we know exactly what's creating your symptoms—not guessing with expensive supplements from Amazon.
My goal isn't to manage your symptoms with another restrictive diet or lifelong medication dependency. It's to restore your body's natural capacity to eliminate hormones properly, reduce systemic inflammation, regulate blood sugar efficiently, AND rebuild your relationship with food—because you can't heal your gut and hormones while creating chronic stress around eating.
Through targeted nutrition, gut healing protocols, hormone support, and food psychology work, we address the root dysfunction so your body can function optimally. When you fix what's actually broken, symptoms don't just improve—they resolve.
Testing without mindset work leaves you restricted and stressed. Mindset work without testing leaves you symptomatic and guessing. You need both.
My approach uniquely addresses the gut-hormone-food psychology connection because your relationship with food is either supporting your healing or sabotaging it.
We heal your gut so it can eliminate hormones, reduce inflammation so your endocrine system can function, AND restore food freedom so you stop creating the chronic stress that's disrupting everything.
I’ve been working with Michelle H for a couple of months for GI upset. She helped identify the causes of my extreme bloating, and now my symptoms are under control and I feel more in control overall. I also have a better understanding of how my gut, food, and brain work together. She takes the time to understand how I react to each food, rather than just following a formula, which made a big difference for me especially since I was worried about giving up many foods. I’m still able to enjoy eating while managing my symptoms and meeting my nutrition goals.
It was my first time ever seeing a dietitian and I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I worked with Shelby and she was absolutely phenomenal!!! Great listener, made me feel comfortable and helped me with problems I was having. I love everything about Hackett Health! Such a great system and team! Cannot recommend enough!
Anastassiya is my dietician and we have made a great connection. I am post menopause and she is very knowledgeable on what we need at this stage of life. She suggests valuable tools and resources and is helping me determine the right amount of nutrition my body needs to reach the goals I have set.
Your basic hormone panel doesn't test for gut dysbiosis preventing hormone elimination. Your standard thyroid labs don't reveal the gut inflammation disrupting your entire endocrine system. Your routine physical doesn't check the nutrient deficiencies sabotaging your metabolism and energy production. Your gynecologist doesn't test how well your gut is metabolizing estrogen.
Comprehensive gut testing that reveals bacterial overgrowth, infections, permeability, and why your body can't eliminate hormones properly
Advanced hormone metabolite testing that shows how your body is processing and eliminating estrogen—not just serum levels
Complete nutrient panels that identify the specific deficiencies affecting your thyroid, energy, and hormone production
Inflammatory markers that reveal what's disrupting your entire endocrine system and creating systemic symptoms
Cortisol patterns throughout the day that show how chronic stress and restriction have affected your adrenal function
Standard labs are designed to catch disease. Functional testing reveals the dysfunction creating your symptoms—when you can actually do something about it.
Standard medicine compartmentalizes each symptom into separate specialties.
Gastroenterology for your gut. Gynecology for your cycles. Endocrinology for your thyroid.
But nobody examines how these systems communicate and influence each other.
Here's what's really happening: Your gut dysfunction is preventing proper hormone elimination, so excess estrogen recirculates creating painful periods and mood swings. That gut permeability is creating systemic inflammation that disrupts your entire endocrine system.
Your years of restrictive dieting have suppressed thyroid function and created metabolic chaos. And your food anxiety is creating a chronic stress response that literally shuts down digestion and hormone production.
They're not separate issues—they're one interconnected system breaking down.
My approach is different: We identify the specific dysfunction creating your symptoms through comprehensive testing, heal your gut so it can properly eliminate hormones, reduce inflammation so your endocrine system can function, AND rebuild your relationship with food so you stop creating chronic stress—without restrictive protocols that make everything worse.
When you restore the whole system, symptoms don't just improve—they resolve.
Irregular, painful, or heavy menstrual cycles
Chronic bloating that makes you look pregnant
Acne that flares with your cycle
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Food sensitivities and digestive distress
Anxiety and depression
Severe PMS and mood swings
Constipation or irregular bowel movements
Crushing fatigue and energy crashes
Weight gain or inability to lose weight
Hair loss or thinning
Insomnia or disrupted sleep
Food anxiety and disordered eating patterns
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
Hypothyroidism
Estrogen Dominance
Insulin Resistance
Hormonal Acne
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
Endometriosis
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Adrenal Dysfunction
Leaky Gut / Intestinal Permeability
Disordered Eating & Food Anxiety
If you've been diagnosed with any of these conditions or are experiencing these symptoms—even with "normal" labs—my comprehensive gut-hormone-mindset approach addresses the root causes everyone else is missing.
You're ready to understand what's creating your gut and hormone symptoms, not just suppress them with medications
You want functional testing that reveals what "normal" labs miss
You're committed to healing root causes, not managing dysfunction forever
You're tired of restrictive diets that make things worse and want food freedom while healing
You're struggling with an active eating disorder requiring clinical intervention
You want quick fixes without addressing underlying dysfunction
You're looking for another restrictive protocol or magic supplement
You're not willing to invest in proper functional testing
You've spent enough time being told your labs are "normal" while feeling terrible. You've tried every diet, collected supplements like souvenirs, and exhausted yourself trying to be "perfect" with food.
Your body doesn't need another restriction or another pill—it needs proper investigation.
Every day you spend managing symptoms instead of addressing their source is another day your gut can't eliminate hormones properly, your inflammation disrupts your endocrine system, and your food stress sabotages your healing. The dysfunction creating your symptoms isn't going to resolve with another band-aid solution. But when you identify what's actually wrong and address the gut-hormone-food psychology connection as one comprehensive system, the healing capacity is remarkable.
The question is: are you ready to stop collecting band-aids and start healing from the root?
