hi, i’m Chelsea

Sanfilippo!

gut hormone health, nutrition and wellness coach,

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Master of Science in Nutrition and a background in Integrative and Functional Medicine. I am passionate about using food, joyful movement, breathwork, social connection, supplements & herbal remedies as a form of medicine. I 100% believe in utilizing approaches that address root causes. Out with the old model of masking symptoms, in with root cause medicine!

My life’s purpose is showing people, especially women, there is a way through their health struggles and none of us are alone.

I REPEAT, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

I dove into this work because I have personally suffered through health issues most of life. I felt many friends and family members didn’t understand me and the conventional medical system failed me. I didn’t feel heard by most of the people around me, especially my doctors. I even found myself crying in multiple medical offices with no real answers to my issues.

I will do my best to help you get to the root one positive step at a time.

Get ready to say goodbye to gut issues & hello to happier hormones!

I am not a doctor…but I am a knowledgeable + compassionate practitioner, and I sure as hell will never tell you to just lose weight to solve all of your problems!

— Chelsea Sanfilippo, MS, RDN

My approach:

  • Holistic

    I approach wellness counseling from a holistic and integrative perspective. I have seen the best outcomes when we look at the bigger picture and piece together all the moving parts rather than just address one narrow area like nutrition alone. Many factors influence our well-being, including but not limited to sleep, stress, movement and nutrition.

  • Realistic

    If you have ever been given a goal or plan that didn’t make any sense or fit within your capabilities, then you know exactly what I am talking about. I try to be mindful of and sensitive to people’s budgets, cultural backgrounds, knowledge base, physical capacity and mental health background. I work collaboratively with individuals on making goals and plans that fit within their realm of capability and comfort. I meet my clients where they are at. I will never be a dictator — that serves neither of us. We are a team. If something doesn’t sound realistic, then we’ll work through it and breakdown the barriers together.

  • Personalized

    I will NOT give you a cookie cutter plan or protocol in 1:1 coaching. I will discuss interventions and options with you that make sense, and then allow you to decide what feels right. We may have to try different options and experiment to find what works best for you. Getting to the root cause of your health issues will always be my number one mission, and that root cause will look different from person-to-person as will the intervention for it.
