As a certified FDN-P, Dr. D specializes in root cause analysis and utilizes principles of lifestyle and nutrition to help people reclaim their health.
Dr. D’s practice is unique because she is trained to provide access to and interpret a wide array of different diagnostic tests, based on functional ranges that other MDs do not typically use. She uses test results in combination with her comprehensive clinical research experience, specifically in Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer, and Digestive Diseases, to educate her clients and design individualized health protocols, offering them the tools to regain their well-being and vitality.
Dr. D is passionate about educating her clients on how to support the body to function with ease as it was designed by applying healthy practices in all areas of life. She provides free health talks to enlighten and empower her audiences. Dr. D customizes the nature of her presentations to suit and engage the needs of each group respectfully. Her talks are conveyed with a sense of common sense and simplicity, with the objective of empowering people to make further inquiries, make better choices, and be considerate of themselves by listening to their bodies.
Our approach
Listen to Your Gut
Our objective is to boost your vitality by emphasizing customized nutrition for optimized metabolism. Join us for evidence-based insights, live events, and digital education to enhance your health span and elevate your performance.
Your gut talks to the rest of you. We listen to what it is saying.
At YOUnique Wellness, we understand the frustration of facing health challenges that defy clear diagnosis, leaving you with uncertainty and unanswered questions. Traditional Western medicine often focuses on treating specific diseases, which can sometimes fall short for conditions like non-specific abdominal pain, where standard tests provide no definitive solutions.
Our approach is different. Using the principles of functional medicine, we take a comprehensive and personalized look at your health. By going beyond symptom management, we explore your unique biochemistry with advanced tools such as specialized stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, and other targeted assessments. This deeper dive helps uncover hidden imbalances or triggers, allowing us to address the root causes of your symptoms and guide you toward lasting relief and healing.
- Specialised stool analysis A detailed look at the microbiome, digestion markers and hidden gut infections.
- Food sensitivity testing Find the foods quietly driving inflammation instead of guessing your way through elimination diets.
- Targeted assessments Hormone, metabolic and stress panels read against functional ranges — not just "normal".
