Hormone & Gut Testing

"I came to Krista motivated to reclaim hormonal balance after experiencing a miscarriage. As a fellow dietitian, I thought I was doing “all the right things”, Krista helped me realize just how impactful stress is on my hormones. She has given me the knowledge, resources, and tools I needed to optimize my hormones. Now, I’ve had 10 consistent cycles, which hasn’t happened in two years! She’s been a true game changer in supporting my health and hormone healing journey."

Your next steps for nourishing your body and optimizing your health, created just for you. This isn’t a cookie-cutter or restrictive plan. It's tailored to your hormone and gut test results, symptoms, goals, and the way you already live. You’ll get clear, actionable guidance on what to eat, how to move, which supplements to take, and the lifestyle shifts that will actually make a difference — all designed to fit your preferences, habits, and real life. No more second-guessing, just a plan you can trust.

You won’t be navigating this alone. You’ll have a 1-hour results review call to walk through your lab results, clarify your biggest questions, and confirm that your personalized plan aligns with your goals. You’ll receive easy-to-understand lab reports ahead of time, so our call can focus on what matters most — applying the insights to your real life. Then, you’ll have a 1-hour follow-up call 6-8 weeks later to check in, get clarification, and feel supported as you implement your plan.

You finally understand what your hormones and gut are doing — and what to actually do about it

You’ve stopped second-guessing your symptoms and feel confident knowing what’s driving them

You have a simple, targeted plan (no more random supplements or one-size-fits-all advice)

You’re no longer spiraling on Google or being told “everything looks normal” — you finally have clarity and a clear next step

You feel more calm, in control, and hopeful about your health — without the overwhelm or confusion

"Krista came into my life when I had come off the pill and was experiencing terrible symptoms that left me questioning if I needed to be institutionalized (yes - that bad). I felt scared and hopeless. My doctors were nice, but said it was "normal." I DIDN'T FEEL NORMAL! I came across Krista's Instagram and was convinced she was the only one who would be able to help me. Fast forward to now, my symptoms have subsided substantially and I have a better understanding and appreciation of my menstrual cycle, good eating habits, and exercise that coincide with the phases. Krista is kind, extremely knowledgable, and approaches your issues with compassion and data. She's the best!"

I’m a master’s-level registered dietitian and fertility awareness educator, and I’ve helped hundreds of women uncover what’s actually going on in their bodies, whether they’ve been trying to conceive for months or just beginning to plan for the future.

My approach blends advanced functional lab testing, evidence-based nutrition, and deeply personalized support. I’m not here to hand you a protocol and wish you luck. I walk with you as we uncover real answers and build a plan that fits your life.

I get how overwhelming this can feel — especially when you’re still waiting for answers or next steps. I’ve been in that uncertain space too. But I also know how powerful it is to stop guessing and start knowing what your body needs.

I lost my mom to cancer when I was 18, after years of watching her research and advocate for her own healing.

That experience shaped everything — including my belief that we all deserve more answers, better support, and care that sees the full picture.

After years working in clinical and corporate settings, I saw the same thing over and over again: women dismissed, rushed out the door, and left to figure it all out on their own. That’s what led me to functional nutrition — and eventually to start Composed Nutrition.

Along the way, I’ve navigated my own hormone and gut challenges, an endometriosis diagnosis, and my own fertility path — including plenty of “wait and see” conversations I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

It’s why I created this program: so you can finally get real answers, feel fully supported, and move forward with a plan you actually trust, guided by someone who works with women navigating hormone issues every day and understands what it’s like from the other side.

How is this different from the labs my doctor runs?
Most conventional labs only check basic markers and often say everything is "normal." This package goes deeper—looking at your hormones, gut health, and key metabolic markers to uncover what’s really going on.
What happens after I sign up?
After checkout, you’ll receive a welcome email to set up your client portal and step-by-step video instructions for collecting your test samples. You'll be able to clarify any testing questions you have. Once your results return I'll send you a detailed breakdown of your results and a link to schedule your 1-hour review call. After your review you'll have messenger support access for 4 weeks.
How long does it take to get results?
The DUTCH hormone test, GI MAP gut health test, and HTMA hair tissue mineral analysis test (if you add this one on) all have about a 2 week turn around time. You can complete the GI MAP at any point except when on your period. You can complete the HTMA at any point, unless if you have recently dyed, colored, or toned your hair wait 6-8 weeks for at least 1.5 inches of new growth. The DUTCH test needs to be completed 5-7 days after ovulation. Where you are in your cycle will determine when your DUTCH results will return.
Can I do this program if I am on hormonal birth control?
If you are on hormonal birth control I often do not recommend the DUTCH hormone test as your contraceptive suppresses your natural hormone production and will not give you an accurate read on your hormone levels. You can complete the GI MAP test and HTMA hair tissue mineral analysis test. Email me at krista@composednutrition.com to discuss what may be the right next steps for you!

What about if I am on the non-hormonal copper IUD?
Yes, you can complete the DUTCH test if you have the copper IUD. While the copper IUD is a non-hormonal contraceptive, it's still possible to affect your hormones due to the relationship between copper and estrogen in the body. Adding the HTMA can be beneficial since copper is measured on this test.
What if I am planning to come off of birth control or recently stopped it, can I do this program?
Yes! In general, I recommend waiting 3 months post birth control to complete the DUTCH hormone test to get a best assessment of your hormones.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! You can opt for the $337/month for 6 months payment plan or you can opt for an extended payment plan option where you enter your payment information below.
