CLINICAL:​
   I am a licensed nutritionist with 28 years experience in Medical Nutrition Therapy.  I am the founder and director of the Allergy & Nutrition Clinic in Falls Church, Virginia (1992 - present).  My skills include: Evaluation and therapy for serious cases, laboratory testing, individualized diet, supplement programs, and Rx custom nutrient compounds.  My SPECIALTIES include: 

CHILDREN:  I have provided evaluation and therapy for over 2000 children with developmental delays (Autism, Aspergers, and ADHD), most with excellent outcomes.  This includes: nutrient deficiencies, malnutrition, diet, food allergies, digestive diseases, the microbiome, hormones, behavior, neurotransmitters and seizures.  Recently I added a new detoxification protocol.

ADULTS:  My experience includes: nutrient deficiencies, malnutrition, diet, food allergies, detoxifiction, digestive diseases, the microbiome, diabetes, hypoglycemia, heart disease (some), chronic fatigue viruses, autoimmune conditions, neurological and mood disorders, seizures, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, management of transplant patients, some genetics, and disorders of thyroid, adrenals, fat-cell hormones, mitochondria, and anti-aging.  

RESEARCH:  I am also the founder and director of the Biotype Research Corporation (1992 - present).  My research began with my graduate thesis at UMCP, and focuses on human biological patterns.  Research projects include: blood types and food allergy patterns, ADHD and nutrient patterns, and endocrine hormone patterns and environmental adaptation.  I hold a patent (Biotype Diet Systems), and registered trademark "Biotype Diets ®" on my food allergy research.   [My ORCID # 0000-0002-6888-4506 for research publications.]
