“Personalized, compassion-centered Functional Nutrition led by a credentialed provider—uncovering root causes and creating real, sustainable change, starting right where you are.
With over twenty years as a Functional Medicine and Nutrition dietitian, and over thirty as a dietitian/nutritionist, I help people uncover and resolve the root causes of their conditions. I focus on specific symptom recovery, personal goals and GI-Microbiome-Immune restoration; leading to rebuilding metabolic pathways.
My personal and professional journey with world-class integrative healing centers shaped my perspective rooted in clinical insight, lived experience, creativity, and deep empathy. My professional training continues with leading global organizations that offer advanced professional education, certifications, resources and on-going training that continue to transform healthcare.

"When I decided to open a functional medicine practice, a systems biology, holistic approach to treatment & prevention of disease, I reached out to Mary Beth, the only functional medicine and nutrition professional in the Capital District, and Saratoga Region, at the time. It has been a pleasure and privilege to collaborate with her. I appreciate Mary Beths commitment to applying powerful principles of FM; and her devotion to her patients welfare. I’m grateful for her willingness to discuss FM and nutrition with me. Her knowledge and skills are a wonderful resource for anyone who desires improvement, or hopes to maintain excellent health." — Anita Burock Stotts, MD, Functional Medicine

You are a Force of Nature …
Lifestyle is the Medicine that creates your force.
The science of epigenetics is the foundation of “Functional and Lifestyle Medicine. It proves that lifestyle, behavior and environment influence the expression of genes. Additionally this is true for cell turnover. Genetically we are 99.9% identical. With the exception of a limited number of remote regions, most populations have the resources necessary to achieve their genetic potentials. Our bodies are made whole and possess remarkable restorative abilities. Health is influenced by how we eat, think, feel, and move.
I am trained to identify what clients need to improve function and overall health, and what they should decrease, to ensure they have clear actionable takeaways. This includes personalized testing, lifestyle and nutrition plans and supplementation recommendations. I have been fortunate to deliver programs across diverse settings, including healthcare systems, trauma centers, university campuses, private practice, wellness and compounding pharmacies, organic and equine-therapy farms, international yoga and medical spa destinations.

CONNECTION is EVERYTHING
Success is based in mutually respectful connections that are supportive, fun and provide meaningful purpose. Life and health are all about connections.
RESTORATION is the process your body mind & spirit are highly skilled at.
Functional Medicine and Nutrition is based on the SCIENCE and TRUTH of the body.

“Healing is not about attaining a state of 100% perfection. This is impossible, not necessary and doesn't exist in this realm. Healing is about connecting to who you are, what your feel, finding a way to serve the world and others and knowing what you can achieve and deserve. It is understanding the value of Love and Joy in every facet of Life; regardless of the circumstances. This pronounces your faith that you and life are so much more than you have been taught. Health and healing is a process, an experiential journey that moves forward with support from other sources with oneself. Healing delivers you to a coming home to the heart, coming home to source and embodying and knowing ourselves as natural healers when aliened with sources of life and Divinity. From this place, we share our authentic truth and “medicine”, our gifts with the world and ourselves.
What the world needs most is for all of us to find healing and express our divine unique essence. This is a vital part of the great tapestry of Life.”

Hi, and thanks for stopping by.
Are you searching for answers to conditions related to fatigue, hormones, depression, anxiety, weight, inflammation, aging, immunity or digestion ? Do you desire to eliminate or avoid medications ?
I too was a functional medicine patient. It was life changing and positively enhanced my life forever. I resolved twenty medical diagnoses that were caused by mercury toxicity. Years later, I restored areas I didn’t know I needed to with the support of functional medicine physicians, horses and “life therapists”.
My persoanl expereinces me to train with pioneers in Functional Medicine and Nutrition; and Mind-Body Medicine models emerging at that time in the 1990’s. I introduced Functional Nutrition to the Saratoga, NY region in early 2000 when I returned to the area. I shifted from helping people manage to resolve conditions.
I was in the first graduating class of “The Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA)”, and among the first fifty nutritionist that completed AFMCP with the Institute for Functional Medicine. In my first position as an RD, I initiated integrative health in a hospital and community setting, while teaching staff and students at Williams College.

Health and self-care enhancement - Yoga Instructor
“I’ve seen two other dietitians. Mary Beths’ style and approach built on and complements my yoga science and practice studies as an instructor. Her support made sense, and was a “whole” approach tied to how one lives rather than conventional instruction of meals, grams, diet etc. Her natural process resonated and helped me enhance health and self-care. This personalized lifestyle restoration works, and is not temporary."
