Personalized Nutrition That Works With Your Body – Dr. Brenda Marshall, MD

Food isn’t just fuel—it’s medicine, information, and a vital tool for healing. At Dr. Brenda Marshall’s integrative practice, diet is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, it's customized to your biology, goals, and underlying health needs.

Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or inflammation, the food you eat plays a critical role in recovery and resilience.

Why Diet Optimization Matters

Many people follow trendy diets that don’t suit their metabolism—or worse, trigger hidden sensitivities that worsen symptoms. Dr. Marshall helps you cut through the noise with science-based, root-cause nutrition guidance.

She works to identify and address:

• Food sensitivities and allergies
• Blood sugar instability and insulin resistance
• Histamine or oxalate intolerance
• Inflammatory triggers and gut permeability
• Nutrient deficiencies and absorption issues
• Hormonal imbalances impacted by diet (e.g., thyroid, estrogen)

What to Expect

Dr. Marshall begins with a thorough intake and testing process to understand how your current diet interacts with your body. Based on your results, she’ll design a targeted eating plan that may include:

• Elimination or anti-inflammatory diets
• Low-histamine or low-FODMAP options
• Gut-healing or liver-supportive foods
• Nutritional support for hormone balance
• Intermittent fasting or metabolic reset strategies

Unlike rigid diet programs, your plan evolves with your healing. The goal is to create sustainable habits that empower your energy, digestion, and long-term health.

Ideal for Patients Experiencing:

• Bloating, gas, constipation, or reflux
• Chronic fatigue or brain fog
• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Blood sugar swings or hypoglycemia
• Hormonal acne or PMS symptoms
• Autoimmune flares or inflammatory conditions

“You don’t need a perfect diet—you need the right one for your body right now. And that’s what we’ll discover together.” – Dr. Brenda Marshall

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How is this different from seeing a nutritionist or dietitian?
A: Dr. Marshall integrates medical diagnostics—such as bloodwork, gut testing, and hormone panels—into your nutrition plan. This isn’t about calorie counting. It’s about healing underlying dysfunction and supporting your body with the right food at the right time.

Q: Do you offer food sensitivity testing?
A: Yes. If appropriate, Dr. Marshall may recommend testing for IgG/IgA food antibodies, gluten sensitivity, or histamine/oxalate intolerance, depending on your symptoms and health history.

Q: What if I already eat healthy and still don’t feel well?
A: That’s exactly when root-cause nutrition shines. Even healthy foods can be problematic if you have sensitivities, poor digestion, or unmet metabolic needs. Dr. Marshall helps identify the mismatch between what you eat and what your body needs to heal.

Q: Will I have to follow a strict or long-term diet?
A: Not necessarily. Many patients begin with a short-term elimination or therapeutic diet, followed by gradual reintroduction. The long-term goal is balance, flexibility, and freedom—not restriction.

Q: Can diet help with hormone issues or autoimmune conditions?
A: Absolutely. Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for balancing insulin, cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid hormones—and for reducing autoimmune flare-ups or chronic inflammation.
