Carolina Functional Nutrition

Working with Rhya over the past year has changed my life. As a 54 year woman, I had major fatigue (not sleeping well) and gut issues. Rhya and her team resolved my issues through a thorough and thoughtful plan. Meeting Rhya over Zoom made my sessions hassle free and if I ever had other issues along the way, Rhya was there to support me. I highly recommend Carolina Functional Nutrition. Hands down, I am back on track with my health and feeling better than I have in years.

I was recommended Carolina Functional Nutrition by a friend and I met with Rhya about whether she could help me specifically with my diverticulosis I have been suffering from for three years. I was getting infections of diverticulitis every three months and I did not want the pain and antibiotics associated with each infection. She tested and found many areas of concerns and recommended various supplements to heal my intestinal lining and gut issues. Since meeting her and taking the supplements, I have not had a single infection requiring antibiotics for an entire year--as of today! Rhya is knowledgeable and always responsive to any questions I have and is full of helpful information. I finally feel with all that I have learned and healed, that I can treat a flare-up with enzymes and a specific way of eating. By eating nourishing and "calm" foods to let my gut heal for a few days as soon as the acute pain and severe cramping comes on, I can avoid the inevitable intrusive testing appointments and most importantly the harmful-to-my-gut antibiotics. These supplements and support, combined with the four stages of eating, has saved me and I finally feel like I am healing and not hurting.

Connecting with Rhya and Carolina Functional Nutrition has been one of the best things that has happened to me. I only regret that I didn’t find her sooner. I learned so much about how my body functions and what my lab results really meant. I always wondered about the supplements I had been taking for years…were they the ones my body needed? Were they really helping me? Were they high quality? The Carolina Functional Nutrition lab tests, that my GI doctors did not do, revealed a different conclusion and the supplements Rhya suggested eliminated my bad gut bacteria. Finally I got answers and a plan going forward. Very knowledgeable in her field Rhya goes right after what the problem is with nutrition expertise and experience. I had no problem trusting her from the beginning. She cares.

Rhya is a smart, thoughtful, kind, and dedicated functional nutritionist. I had suffered with bloating, congestion, and lethargy for well over a year and was at my wits end when I reached out to Rhya. She listened, we tested, and she went to work designing a protocol to address my specific situation. It wasn't easy or fast, but in less than a year, my symptoms are gone and I feel healthier than I have in years. If you have tried to manage your own gut health to limited success, talk with Rhya. I'm extremely glad I did!

Rhya was a game changer in my life. I was struggling with IBS and acid reflux for over 15 years. Some of it was self inflicted from bad habits and the other was due to getting incorrect medical advice and put on medications. Rhya did a full comprehensive test and went over every detail with me. She made recommendations based off of my personal results and told me exactly what to take and when. She took all of the guess work out of it. It was a long process for me because I waited so long to seek support. It was worth every penny and time to heal my stomach and throat. My only regret is not finding her sooner. I can eat almost anything again but I am more aware of what my body likes and dislikes. Thank you, Rhya for your dedication and passion for helping others!

Working with Rhya was great! My gut health is so much better now!

I knew when I first started working with Rhya that she truly cared about my wellbeing. I finally felt heard. With so many little ailments, she patiently walked through them all with me. She is relentless is trying to figure out how to help her clients. I struggled with hormonal migraines 2-3 weeks out of the month and through cleansing, repairing, and now maintaining the gut and supporting the detox function of my liver with supplements, my migraines have almost completely stopped. I may have one or two now a month. Its been a life changer!

Rhya is treating me for Hashimoto's Hypercholesterolemia, inflammation, sleep support, gut repair, and glucose fluctuations. She is an excellent provider - Words cannot describe how much better I feel since she started treating me. This is reflected in my excellent bloodwork results. She is so personable and has an excellent knowledge of nutrition and supplements. Her diet plan for me provides very tasty dishes that are easy to prepare. Thank you Rhya!

I am so grateful for Rhya's knowledge and wisdom. Conventional doctors put me off and refused to dig deeper. Rhya's goal is always to get to the root cause, putting the puzzle pieces together. And while sometimes it can be a guessing game on what caused the issue or recurrence...she has an encyclopedic knowledge of natural and holistic tools for healing. She knows the synergistic ways supplements work together and what to avoid. Add to that, Rhya is always researching and analyzing new options and reports. I'm so glad I chose "NOT to live with it," but instead trust Rhya's protocol, and be patient with the time it takes to heal naturally. I also, appreciate how patient she is in explaining test results and her recommendations for supplements. Rhya is generous with her time and truly cares about your personal outcome.

Working with Rhya was the best decision I’ve made for my health. I put off reaching out for about a year, the only regret I have is not reaching out sooner! In working with Rhya my gut symptoms have been relieved and all around I feel so much better. I used to be bloated what felt like 24/7 but with Rhya’s guidance on supplementation and some food changes I rarely feel bloated anymore. I can’t recommend Rhya enough!
