Services Overview

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy Practitioners® (NTPs) assess the bio-individual needs of each client and create a personalized, holistic plan for nutrition and lifestyle change. We don't just make a plan- we educate, coach, and encourage you through the process, making adjustments as needed along the way. We specialize in:

  • Optimize digestive function for whole-body wellness with simple yet effective protocols and functional testing such as the GI-MAP.

  • Discover and address the root cause of your symptoms with MRT food sensitivity testing and/or a functional elimination diet and reintroduction process focused on nourishment rather than restriction.

  • Nourish your body with whole food nutrition, reach your optimal weight, and say goodbye to restrictive diets for good! Utilize tools such as carbohydrate cycling, strategic exercise, and lifestyle factors to help you reach your goals through an empowering, non-diet approach.

  • It’s time to reconnect you with God’s perfect design for your body and hormones– learning to love and embrace your cycle, understand your fertility, and make peace with your body once and for all. I utilize DUTCH testing along with diet, lifestyle and customized nutrient support.

  • Regain energy through whole-body cellular detoxification using the Cellcore Biosciences Foundational and Comprehensive Protocols, which address a wide variety of pathogens, bio-toxins, and chemicals as key factors in healing.

 

About Me

Carly Stagg,
Nutrition Expert

As a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner® (FNTP), trained through the Nutritional Therapy Association and the Institute for Functional Medicine, I blend the best of conventional medicine know-how with a heart-filled, holistic and integrative approach.

This isn’t just my profession — this work is deeply personal to me. By the age of 16, I had three chronic autoimmune diseases and a laundry list of symptoms. Conventional doctors offered little in the way of answers or reassurance, and I left appointments feeling disheartened time and time again. My quest for health, and journey through recovery is what sparked my passion for this field.

The functional medicine approach changed my life, and it can change yours too. Simply supporting the body with what it needs to heal optimizes everything from metabolism and hormones, to mental & emotional health. This includes personalized nutrition, exercise & lifestyle habits in addition to strategic supplements.

 
 

What can I expect?

Personalized, clear, effective care.

Rebuilding your health shouldn’t require spending thousands on expensive testing and supplements. That said– your health IS an investment that will pay dividends for years to come. I price services fairly and appropriately while keeping the mind, body, and spirit health of “future you” my top priority.

  • Nope! You are in the driver’s seat here. 🚗We will partner together to find the best plan to fit your individual needs, and I will support you in making the changes YOU decide are the right fit for you.

    I’m all about bio-individuality and body autonomy, including food, supplements– and this applies to your medical choices and decisions, too. Education and empowerment first, always, and radical respect regardless of what you choose!

  • Unfortunately, nutrition and wellness work are not generally covered by insurance as they are not considered a medically necessary intervention by conventional standards.

    The good news? Without the expensive overhead associated with insurance, I am able to pass along savings to you with my appointment pricing! In addition, I provide a 20% supplement discount to all active clients. Every effort is made to keep care at Wholehearted® affordable, accessible, and effective.
