You’ve been spending your whole life trying to solve the wrong problem.
Real results come from more clarity, not more effort.
Whether your goal is losing weight, feeling better, or finally creating a plan for the symptoms your doctor can’t explain — we’ll help you get there by uncovering what’s really going on in your body.
Fat loss that lasts, because we fix what's underneath it.
If your body has stopped responding to diets and workouts, the issue isn't effort. It's how your metabolism is functioning right now.
Real results come from more clarity, not more effort.
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 what’s underneath.
Cutting calories or pushing harder can create short-term change, but it doesn’t explain why progress stalled in the first place. When stress, hormones, digestion, or blood sugar are off, effort alone stops working.
Your symptoms aren’t random.
Cravings, bloating, fatigue, stubborn fat, or inconsistent progress aren’t part of everyday life - they're signs that something is off. Even when labs are labeled “normal,” your body may still be struggling to function efficiently.
You’re not on the wrong path, just the wrong strategy.
You don’t need more rules or restriction. You need to put your energy toward the things that actually influence how your body responds, so progress feels sustainable instead of forced.
It’s not your fault. Your life got heavier.
As stress becomes more constant, even if it feels manageable, the body adapts. Work, family, travel, poor sleep, and years of dieting all add up.
What used to work stops working, not because you failed, but because your metabolism is under more strain.
Life doesn’t usually get less stressful. But how your body responds to stress can change.
If this sounds like you, we can help.
If you’ve tried eating better, working out consistently, tracking, cutting carbs, or “doing all the right things” and your body still won’t cooperate, this is the problem we work on every day.
We don’t give you another set of rules or tell you to push harder. We work with you to figure out why your body stopped responding and what actually needs to change so progress feels possible again.
That work happens inside a structured, long-term program where we guide you step by step, adjust as your body changes, and help you stop starting over.
If you’re wondering whether it’s the right fit, the first step is a conversation.
Our program is called Alta360
Alta360 is a structured health and nutrition program for people whose body stopped responding to diets, workouts, and quick fixes.
Inside Alta360, we work with you to understand what’s been holding your body back, make targeted changes, and adjust over time so progress actually lasts.
Below is the framework we use inside Alta360.
Assess
This is where we stop guessing on where to start.
We begin with advanced diagnostics and a comprehensive intake to identify what’s actually keeping you from losing fat, fixing your gut, and feeling your best every day.
Learn
This helps you understand what’s been holding you back and what to do next.
Your labs and symptom data is translated into clear, actionable insights so you understand what’s happening in your body and why previous approaches haven’t worked.
Transform
This is where fat loss, energy, digestion, and health markers begin to improve because the plan matches your unique biology.
Using your data, we design a personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and training plan aimed at making your body work with you, not you working against your body. And we help you do it in a way that frees up time, not takes up more time.
Adapt
This is where real life fits in.
Vacations, girls’ nights, stressful weeks, and schedule changes happen. We use real feedback to help you adjust without losing momentum.

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.

Results that go far beyond the scale.
Our clients don’t just lose weight. They gain clarity, consistency, and confidence in how their body works.
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.

When we need deeper insight, we use functional labs.
Not everyone needs testing right away. When we do use labs, it’s to answer specific questions about how your body is functioning, not to collect data for data’s sake.
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 start understanding.
Hey! I'm Kat.
I’m a board-certified Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, coach, and someone who knows what it’s like to feel off in your own body without clear answers.
After years of dealing with fatigue, joint pain, bloating, anxiety, and brain fog, even while being told my labs were “normal,” I learned how powerful nutrition and metabolic health can be when applied correctly.
Now, I help clients rebuild their health from the inside out by addressing what’s actually driving symptoms, not just managing them.
Hey! I'm Andrew.
For a long time, I did everything “right.” Career success, long hours, constant pressure. On the outside, things looked great. On the inside, my energy, health, and resilience slowly disappeared.
Working with Kat taught me that success without health isn’t success at all.
Now, I help build systems and strategies that support real, lasting change, not just short-term wins.
Together, we designed Alta360 to give clients the clarity, structure, and support they need to make progress without burning out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’ve tried programs before and they didn’t work?
That’s one of the most common reasons people come to us.
Most people we work with already know the rules. They’ve eaten well, stayed active, tracked at some point, and followed advice that should have worked. When progress stalled anyway, it wasn’t because they failed. It’s because their body adapted.
Before making recommendations, we focus on understanding why things stopped working in your specific case. If we don’t see a clear path forward, we’ll tell you. We don’t sell everyone, and we don’t move forward without clarity.
The goal isn’t to give you another plan to try. It’s to explain what’s been happening in your body so the next steps actually make sense.
How do I know this isn’t just another version of what I’ve already done?
This isn’t about following a template, hitting numbers, or pushing harder.
Most programs start with rules and hope your body responds. We start by understanding how your body is responding now, based on your symptoms, history, and patterns, and then build from there.
That’s why this approach often works after other things stopped working. It’s not more information. It’s better context.
If what you need is another set of macros or a rigid protocol, this probably isn’t a fit. If you want to understand what’s actually driving your results, that’s where we help.
How much of this is human support vs. tech or automation?
All decisions are made by real people.
We don’t automate recommendations, outsource interpretation, or rely on software to tell you what to do. Tools and data can be helpful, but they’re only useful when someone knows how to interpret them in context.
Your plan evolves based on how you respond, not based on an algorithm.
Will I have to track everything or eat perfectly?
No.
The goal isn’t perfection or tracking forever. The goal is learning how your body responds so you can make informed decisions without obsessing over every detail.
This approach is designed to work through travel, stress, busy weeks, and real life. We focus on what actually matters most, not on controlling every variable.
What if my labs are “normal” but I still don’t feel good?
This is extremely common.
“Normal” ranges don’t always reflect how your body is functioning, especially when stress, digestion, hormones, or blood sugar regulation have shifted over time.
Symptoms matter. History matters. Patterns matter.
Our job is to connect those dots and explain what’s going on in a way that fits your lived experience, not to dismiss how you feel because a number falls in range.
Is this going to take over my life?
No. The opposite, actually.
The aim is to give you clarity so health takes up less mental space over time, not more. You’re not signing up to be micromanaged or controlled by a program.
You’ll learn how to adjust when life changes instead of starting over every time something throws you off.
How do I know if this is worth the investment?
That’s a fair question, and it’s usually not about money. It’s about trust.
Most people hesitate because they don’t want to invest again without understanding why this should work when other things didn’t.
That’s why everything starts with clarity. We focus on explaining what’s been happening in your body and whether there’s a clear, reasonable path forward. If there isn’t, we’ll say so.
This isn’t about committing blindly. It’s about reducing trial and error.
What’s the first step if I’m interested but not sure yet?
Start with the Metabolic Health Assessment.
It’s a low-pressure way to reflect on your symptoms, history, and goals and see whether this approach makes sense for you. From there, we decide together what the next step should be.
