Hi, I’m Denise Groothuis.
Registered Dietitian, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Certified Leap Technician, Personal Trainer
I’m a progressive health practitioner that believes in an individual approach to health and weight loss. I use nutritional science and diet strategies to customize programs unique to you. I specialize in gut health and the gut-brain axis, especially IBS and SIBO and also treat weight loss, autism, anxiety, chronic disease, inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, and hormonal issues.
Additionally, Denise is a certified personal trainer. Health is a combination of both food and fitness, and optimal weight and well-being cannot be achieved without combining both together. She also is a part of Fit4All NY a fitness program that works with children and adults of all abilities.
Denise has a BS from Cornell University and an MS in Applied Physiology and Nutrition from Teachers College, Columbia University. She completed her dietetic internship at Columbia, and she is a licensed RD (Registered Dietitian). She has been practicing in the nutrition field since the year 2000.
Denise became certified in functional medicine by Functional Medicine University and IFNA (Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy) and has taken courses at the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute. She is LEAP certified.
