A healthy heart starts with sustainable habits

Maybe you’ve been handed a generic meal plan, told to “lose weight,” or left to figure it out on your own.
In reality, gentle, sustainable nutrition changes can help you stabilize blood sugar, improve cholesterol, and support your heart long-term. We’re here to help you build balance that lasts.

Our Motto

How does nutrition affect cardiometabolic health?

BALANCE. RESTORE. SUSTAIN.

Balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats stabilize glucose and insulin levels, reducing energy crashes and long-term risk for diabetes and insulin resistance.

Nutrients like omega-3s, antioxidants, and magnesium support healthy blood vessels, while limiting processed oils and excess sodium helps reduce strain on the heart.

Chronic inflammation contributes to both heart disease and insulin resistance. Antioxidant-rich foods and omega-3 fats calm inflammation and support cellular repair.

Fiber, plant sterols, and anti-inflammatory foods help improve LDL, HDL, and triglyceride ratios which supports healthy cholesterol metabolism naturally.

How we approach cardiometabolic health

You don’t have to do everything overnight. Small, steady changes create the biggest results.

Here’s how we do it

We’ll focus on balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to stabilize glucose, reduce cravings, and prevent energy crashes. This helps your body respond to insulin more effectively and prevents long-term metabolic strain. We will also help provide education around blood sugar balance so you can feel confident you're making choices that are creating long term blood sugar support.

We’ll use simple, practical strategies to help your digestive system work with you, not against you. That might mean adjusting meal timing, improving chewing habits, adding digestive support foods, and identifying if hydration or meal spacing could improve motility. Small shifts here can dramatically reduce bloating and discomfort within weeks.

We focus on adding variety, not just removing foods. In fact, we try not to remove foods unless absolutely necessary. The goal is freedom, not restriction. With your nutritionist, you’ll learn how to introduce fiber-rich foods gradually, include fermented options, and use targeted supplements only when needed. If helpful, we can run stool or SIBO testing to tailor your plan to your specific gut environment.

Your gut and brain are deeply intertwined. Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep all impact digestion. We’ll weave in gentle, non-intimidating ways to regulate your nervous system, such as slowing down before meals, adding breathwork or a pre-meal ritual, or identifying patterns that cause digestive tension. This is such an underutilized tool that we find makes a huge impact on our clients' healing.

Once your symptoms begin to calm, we’ll slowly add back foods you may have eliminated, without fear. This phase focuses on expanding your food freedom while maintaining digestive comfort. We’ll track your body’s cues, use a structured reintroduction process (when needed), and celebrate the wins along the way.

Gut health isn’t a quick fix, it’s a partnership with your body. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of doable daily habits: balanced meals, simple grocery swaps, and small routines that improve digestion naturally. The goal? Less micromanaging, more living.

No more unbuttoning your pants after every meal or mapping out every bathroom near you when you’re out. No more feeling confused on what may or may not be working, you will leave with clarity and more freedom around food.

Saundra Kamman

Saundra is a functional nutritionist with advanced training in Ayurveda, holistic nutrition, and Western herbalism. Her approach blends evidence-based strategies with traditional wisdom to create highly personalized care that supports gut health, hormone balance, eating disorder recovery, stress management, and whole-body wellness.

While nutrition and lifestyle remain the foundation of our approach, we also offer advanced testing to personalize your care even further. Depending on your needs, this may include detailed lipid and insulin panels, nutrient assessments, or genetic testing to better understand how your body regulates metabolism and cardiovascular health. 

Testing options may include:

  • Advanced Lipid Panels: Tests that go deeper than your standard cholesterol panels for a more complete picture of lipid metabolism.
  • Nutrient & Metabolic Function Testing: Evaluates mitochondrial energy production, oxidative stress, and nutrient sufficiency
  • Genetic Testing: Identify inherited tendencies that influence cardiometabolic health

We also only suggest testing if it makes sense for your goals, and we’ll translate the results into plain English, with a clear, sustainable plan for moving forward. Testing is completely optional and never required to work with us.

Functional Testing

Optional Add-On

Bailey

“I’d had tests and dismissive doctors telling me ‘You’re healthy,’ but I was in pain after every meal. My diet was already limited, and I felt a lot of shame around not sticking perfectly to an elimination plan. Plenish changed that. They ask about my lifestyle, history, and mindset—not just what I eat—and help me make sense of test results. Now, I feel more in control of food, and I have habits that have really helped me reclaim my approach to nutrition.”

“I had stomach pain for a very long time. 
Eventually, I decided enough was enough.”

Liberate your plate

Do you work with clients who are trying to lose weight?

Do you accept HSA and/or FSA payments?

Are there specific foods that help with heart health?

Are there specific foods that help with heart health?

Supporting your heart health isn’t about one “magic” food, it’s about creating balance and consistency. Fiber, omega-3s, hydration, and regular meals all play a role, but the key is finding what works best with your body. Your nutritionist will help you build a balanced plan that supports digestion without unnecessary restriction.

How long does it take to see results?

While some clients notice energy and digestion improvements within a few weeks, lasting changes in lab markers typically occur within three to six months of consistent care.

What are your practitioner's qualifications?

Our practitioners are Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionists (LDNs), Certified Nutrition Specialists (CNS), and Registered Dietitians (RDs). This means each person has a master's-level degree in nutrition. They also have undergone extensive training focused on their areas of specialization.

Do you take insurance?

Yes! We accept Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. If you plan on using insurance, please check with your insurance before booking a call to verify benefits. Most people pay $0 for their nutrition sessions through insurance.

For out-of-network, we can create a “super bill” for reimbursement. With this, you can coordinate with your insurance company to see what they will and will not reimburse.

Do you accept HSA and/or FSA payments?

Yes, we accept both HSA and FSA payments.

Do you work with clients who are trying to lose weight?

We don’t provide intentional weight loss services, and we don’t use the scale as a measure of progress. Weight changes can happen for many reasons such as hormone shifts, digestion, insulin resistance, medications, stress, and more.

Our role is to help you uncover and address those root causes, rather than focusing on the number on the scale.
