Michela Formis Nutritional Therapist
Avenue Montjoie 229, 1180 Uccle, Brussels, Belgium
Centre Ovive, rue de Spa 13, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
*Practices virtually worldwide
I am an Italian nutritional therapist based in Brussels, Belgium.
I became passionate about the healing power of food as a result of personal experience.
After the birth of my second child my already unstable health took a turn for the worse. It took me several years to get to my Hashimoto diagnosis and more to regain my health through diet and lifestyle changes. After experiencing food’s amazing power on my own body I embarked in nutritional therapy studies, to better understand the mechanisms behind this process and help others struggling with health issues. I as a sufferer myself I am especially committed to help people with autoimmune disease.
I believe in accompanying and guiding my clients on their own unique path, directing their efforts in the most beneficial way, always respecting their specific circumstances, personality and their levels of discipline and willpower. I think each one of us has a relationship with food that can be very deep and emotional, so when moving forward, I take into account the personal history and try to adjust the pace to the client’s specific needs and feelings.

I help my client to notice inconsistencies in their current habits that might be hindering their success. I provide a heart centered, non-judgmental, positive and supportive environment with accountability. My reward is taking joyful pleasure in my clients small successes.
Specializing in Autoimmune Diseases/Conditions, especially Lupus.
My passion to become a FMCHC and AIP Certified Coach began years ago. A religious hiker, unable to make it up the hill. I knew there was something terribly “not right” with me. Months later I had a diagnosis of Lupus (SLE). Making huge adjustments with my diet, switching to the AIP and necessary lifestyle changes. Determined not to be “ill”, I empowered myself, my Lupus activity is now considered mild. I continue to practice the Paleo approach, and am more confident and stronger knowing I did it myself.

Ryan Monahan, FDN-P, is a “health detective” with a passion for uncovering the hidden stressors that contribute to thyroid malfunction. Ryan spent over 10 years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2012. His mission is to change the dialogue about chronic disease towards a holistic, functional approach.
As a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, Ryan is specialized in utilizing functional lab work to identify sources of metabolic stress, with the aim of restoring the body to normal function. Depending on the client’s needs, areas of investigation may include HPA Axis dysregulation, hormone imbalance, gut infections, SIBO, heavy metals, and more.
Typically, Ryan’s clients are those who have struggled with finding relief from their autoimmune symptoms. Oftentimes, they feel that they’ve “tried everything”, and that traditional medicine hasn’t served them.

Kelly Dwyer Nutrition therapist, board-certified in holistic nutrition
Denver, Colorado
USA
*Also Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hello!
I believe that what you eat directly influences how you feel – and that always starts with real, whole foods.
As a nutrition therapist, I explore clients’ health histories in depth before creating a tailored nutrition plan that incorporates education and support in areas they need most to successfully achieve their goals.
A central piece of my practice is guiding clients on the “how” piece of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – the logistical and tactical side of health change where good intentions often steer off course.
I work with clients on a range of health issues, including autoimmune disease, blood sugar imbalance and diabetes, weight loss or gain, IBS and other digestive issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, high cholesterol and heart disease, and injury recovery. I am versed in a range of therapeutic diets and how they might support specific health conditions.
I completed my Master Nutrition Therapist (MNT) training at Nutrition Therapy Institute and I am board certified in holistic nutrition (BCHN®) by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals. I hold bachelor’s degrees in Communication and Journalism from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
When I’m not talking, writing or thinking about food, I may be hiking, skiing or reading a novel. But most likely, I’m watching my kids play sports!

Katie Johnson Physical Therapist Assistant
Puyallup, Washington
USA
Everything is connected. When we cannot find answers to issues to improve our health in tradition ways its is important to look at the whole picture and embrace the whole body, not just the tissues involved.
So many times I’ve been told in my journy to feeling better by countless medical practitioners that “food does not matter”. Yet when I finally took matters into my own hands and addressed that area of my life all of the pieces of the puzzle fell into place in my life and I started healing by leaps and bounds.
I decided I needed to start sharing this with every chronic illness/chronic pain patient I see.
Food is medicine!

Martha Saunders Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Kailua Hawaii
USA
*Practices Virtually Worldwide
Aloha, my name is Martha, and I am a nutritional therapy practitioner. I specialize in gut health, blood sugar balance, and inflammation. I am a pastry chef and love finding ways to have a treat periodically that doesn’t wreck my health.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and heard the words autoimmune disease for the first time in my life. I was told there was no cure and that there was nothing I could do naturally to regain my health.
But happily, that is only where my story stated. I went on the AIP within 24 hours of my diagnosis and never looked back! I reversed every symptom and regained my health.
I love working with women who want a holistic way to manage their autoimmune disease symptoms. I also work with moms alongside their 16–22-year-old child who has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Working with mom and child to help them navigate how to use AIP to support their own healing journey.
I live in Hawaii with my husband and son but work virtually with clients all over the world. I created Aloha AIP to help clients implement the AIP within a group coaching program but I also offer 1:1 work as well. I focus on nutrient density – flooding the body with nutrients so it can flourish – and making lifestyle and mindset adjustments.
I love helping clients find their best health so they can live vibrantly.
