We help you uncover what’s really driving your symptoms, so you can lose fat and improve your long-term health for life.

Willpower isn’t your problem. Your body is out of sync.

Diets don't fix underlying dysfunction.

Cutting calories or pushing harder only masks the real issue. If your hormones, gut, or stress response are out of balance, no "hard work" can deliver lasting results.

Your symptoms aren't random or normal.

Cravings, bloating, fatigue, or stalled progress aren’t a lack of discipline. It's your body signaling deeper imbalances that need to be addressed at the root even if your bloodwork is "normal."

You're wasting time on the wrong approach.

You don’t need to push harder, fast, or follow restrictive all-or-nothing protocols. You need to put your effort towards the right strategies that works with your biology so progress feels natural, not forced.

Stress & Hormone Panel

This saliva test tracks your cortisol levels throughout the day to show how your body handles stress. It’s key for spotting burnout and adrenal fatigue.

GI Map

A DNA-based stool test that reveals gut imbalances like bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses—the real cause behind bloating, IBS, and digestive issues.

Mucosal Barrier Assessment (MBA)

A simple blood spot test that checks for leaky gut and histamine issues, common root causes of food sensitivities, skin flares, and
brain fog.

Metabolic Wellness Profile (MWP)

A urine test that shows how well your body digests food, detoxes, and handles stress. Great for spotting SIBO, malabsorption, and sluggish metabolism.

Mediator Release Test (MRT)

A blood test that uncovers food sensitivities by measuring how your immune system reacts. Helps identify hidden triggers behind inflammation and chronic symptoms.

Real results from functional coaching.

Our clients experience wins that go far beyond the scale. Everyone's biology is unique, which is why we will never have a one-size-fits-all approach.

Fat loss through habit building, not restriction.

He wanted to lose fat, build muscle and break the cycle of emotional eating without giving up his favorite foods. With a custom nutrition and exercise plan, weekly habits to build and accountability he dropped body fat, built lean muscle, and finally found balance without living in the gym or giving up beer.

Building long-term health from the inside out.

Ana's annual labs kept showing red flags. Her blood sugar, cholesterol and weight kept climbing higher and she knew a lifestyle overhaul was needed. In 6 months she lost 30 lbs and lowered her cortisol, A1C, cholesterol, triglycerides while boosted her Vitamin D, HDL and B12. She feels the healthiest and strongest she ever has.

Finding balance + thriving in perimenopause.

Hormonal shifts in perimenopause don’t have to mean weight gain, mood swings, and restless nights. Kayla felt like a shell of herself and her old tricks for weight loss stropped working. With targeted nutrition, stress support, and an approach that supported her body versus burnt her out, she lost 30 lbs and felt like herself again.

Comprehensive Blood Work

Comprehensive blood test of 48 different biomarkers, most of which are not typically covered by insurance. Most of these are essential for short-term goal planning, long-term health, and feeling your best. Categories include inflammation, metabolic health, hormone panel, heart health, gut health, and more.

Stress & Hormone Panel

The SHP is a saliva-based test done at four time points across the day: morning, noon, afternoon, and bedtime. This gives a complete picture of how your stress hormone cortisol rises and falls over 24 hours. This test captures your diurnal cortisol rhythm, giving a window into HPA-axis function to see your stress burden and adrenal output.

GI-MAP

The GI-MAP is a DNA-based stool test (qPCR technology) that identifies and quantifies the DNA of microorganisms in your gut. A small stool sample is collected at home and shipped to the lab. Unlike older stool tests that relied on culturing bacteria (which often missed key species), this test uses advanced polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect even low levels of microbes with high accuracy.

Mucosal Barrier Assessment

The MBA is a blood spot test that evaluates markers directly related to gut barrier integrity and histamine regulation. This panel looks at proteins and enzymes that regulate intestinal tight junctions and histamine breakdown. A simple finger-prick blood collection provides insights into whether the gut lining is “leaky” and if histamine is being properly cleared.

Metabolic Wellness Profile

The MWP is a dried urine test that evaluates key markers of digestion, detoxification, and oxidative stress. Urine metabolites reveal how well the body is processing protein, bile, and handling free radical damage. An effective screening tool for assessment of protein digestion, dysbiosis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal mucosal permeability and malabsorption states

Mediator Release Test

The MRT is a blood test that measures how white blood cells react when exposed to foods and food chemicals. Instead of looking for antibodies (like IgG/IgE), the MRT directly measures the release of chemical mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins, and cytokines which are the compounds that drive inflammation and physical symptoms. This makes it one of the most reliable tests for uncovering hidden food sensitivities that contribute to chronic inflammation.

Results happen when you stop guessing and get to the root cause.

Hey! I'm Kat.

I'm a board-certified Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, holistic lifestyle coach, and personal trainer.... and I know what it's like to feel off in your own body with no clear explanation.

After healing my own fatigue, joint pain, bloating, anxiety, and brain fog through functional nutrition (even when my doctor's labs were “normal”), I knew I had to help others do the same.

I’ve spent the past few years coaching busy women through root-cause healing. I've helped them improve their energy, mood, digestion, and metabolism by addressing inflammation, not just masking symptoms.

From autoimmune flare-ups to stress-induced burnout, I’ve helped clients rebuild from the inside out.

I'm dedicated to getting results for every single client and ensuring anyone on my team does the same.

Hey! I'm Andrew.

For years I did everything “right.” I climbed the ladder, worked with big brands, hit every goal I set… and quietly burned myself into the ground.

My energy tanked, my stress was through the roof, and I kept telling myself I’d fix it “when things slowed down.”

They never did. Things never slow down.

Hiring Kat changed everything. I stopped chasing results that didn’t matter and started rebuilding my health in a way that actually lasted.

Not through restriction or perfection, but through understanding how functional nutrition and holistic health worked.

Now I help other ambitious people do the same.

Before Alta, I was working with clients like Nike, Peloton, Noom, Loselt, and MyFitnessPal. I felt they cared more about profit than results for each clients.


Now, I work alongside Kat to design Alta360, our flagship program built with every pillar of success in mind.

It’s not about restriction just to hit a goal. It’s about creating the foundation for lasting health and living a life filled with energy, happiness, and purpose.

The first step to results starts right here.

In 10 minutes, you can have a personalized Wellness Reset Plan that shows you exactly where to start — based on your body, your goals, and your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Alta360 Program work?

The first step is understand YOU. Are you even a fit for the program based on your goals? If so, then we look closely at your symptoms, your biomarkers, your food patterns, and more. From there, we build a plan custom to you and only you.

Most importantly, your coach will help you execute on this plan by re-building healthy habits that last forever. This is not something you stick to only when we're around. It's the last program you ever buy.

How much does this program cost?

We have few options depending on your goals and needs. Fill out the form to learn more about our programs and chat with a coach about which one makes sense for your current lifestyle and needs.

What if I'm already working with a functional medicine doctor or other practitioner?

That's great! We work closely with many PCPs, Endocrinologists, Functional Practitioners, and more. They rarely are able to offer personalized nutrition help (or the types of labs and analysis we offer). Every bite impacts your biology. No matter what you're experiencing, food and lifestyle are crucial to your success.

How much of this program is a bot vs. talking to a real person?

This entire program is about human connection. We don't use AI or bots. Your coach will be available to you every single day if you need it. If you sign up, you will work directly with Kat or Alexa, both are functional nutritionists with extensive education and experience. This is not a "bait and switch" situation where you get paired with a random assistant coach who doesn't have the right credentials or the ability to deliver on real results.

What if I've tried a program before and it didn't work?

We recommend booking a free call to talk through your specific challenges to see if and how we may be different. The truth is, the information you need is out there. For free. The hard part is doing it consistently and getting it to stick long term. We are built from the ground specifically for full-time workers and parents, so we tailor the advice to your specific needs to make sure the habits stick.
