What her patients are saying
"When I came to see Megan, I was having issues with chronic inflammation, sleep, brain fog, muscle aches and loss of energy. I kept gaining weight and was barely eating. Megan looked at the whole picture by assessing me for food sensitivities and hormone levels. She put me on an anti-inflammation diet to determine which foods were causing issues. Immediately I was able to adjust my hormone levels and trigger the healing process. I lost 32 pounds, my mind is noticeably clearer, my energy levels have improved and I now sleep through the night. Thank you, Megan, for giving me my life back!"
