Chews Food Wisely Functional Nutrition

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue but definitely a testimony to how wonderful Nicole is. Our journey with her began in 2021 after chasing answers for ten years. My daughter had a lot of health issues that were never properly diagnosed. She saw multiple doctors, specialists, had lots of bloodwork, and other testing along the way. The result was always the same - your results are within the levels. Needless to say we had almost given up hope. Through all of my online searching I ran across a lady praising Nicole for restoring her health so my daughter agreed she would give the program a try. Best decision of our lives! Here we are four years later and thanks to Nicole my daughter has the knowledge and tools to manage and keep her health intact. To this day, my daughter says after all the doctors she encountered over her ten year journey, Nicole is the only one that actually took the time to scour over all her past medical notes, truly listen to her concerns, and make her feel like they were partnering in the journey together. We are forever appreciative for Nicole's willingness to dive deep and find answers for those who feel brushed off and unheard while battling health issues.

Fantastic experience: I have never been so excited to get my PERIOD!!! I started with Nicole & Emily in April 2025 and got my period Sep 2025. I was on hormonal birth control over 10+ years and got off it for 1.5 years with no cycle the WHOLE TIME. I met with countless gynecologists & fertility specialists to see if they could guide me in the right direction to find the root cause but the only answer they could provide me was that my age (40) was the reason I didn't have a cycle. I came to all the doctors with a spreadsheet of my historical labs/hormones (that wildly fluctuated, even when I did labs 4 weeks in a row). Not only was I dismissed, no one even bothered to look at the labs I did provide. I started acupuncture in October 2024 and my symptoms improved but still no cycle so I knew I needed extra help to learn how to fuel myself properly. I went down the rabbit hole and learned about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and discovered I was unintentionally undereating 700-800 calories after I started keeping track of my intake. I had been eating this way since I was a kid. I was constantly tired, needing to take naps in the afternoons, it was so bad even my prescribed stimulant wouldn't work. My symptoms that I assumed were normal because it was how I had been functioning for years and body got used to it? Afternoon energy crashes, constantly freezing cold hands & feet, waking up in the middle of the night at 2-4 am and not being able to fall back to sleep, brittle nails, hair loss (my hair stylist commented on it several times), lackluster skin, constipation, irregular bowel movements. After talking with several nutritionists I was on the fence with, I reached out to my friend Tori to ask her for a referral and she led me to ChewsFoodWisely. I sent her my historical labs and she did a brief overview on where there are potential indicators of deficiencies. It was the first time I felt heard. My labs were not ideal and she pointed out key numbers and how they correlated with each other but we needed more in depth labs to truly get an understanding of what I needed specifically. At no point was I pressured to "sign up" or work with them. It was time that I invested in my health and did the weekly payment plan. We did micronutrient testing, gut microbiome testing, hair analysis and sure enough all of my results came back with the results I suspected. Nutritional deficiencies and chronic inflammation. Nicole & Emily came up with a protocol to add specific vitamins and supplements and we worked on increasing my food intake that was sustainable. It wasn't easy, especially in the beginning but they worked with what I enjoyed and could eat. I started easy, making sure I ate breakfast even if it was just a cup of bone broth. Then increased to bone broth with a little bit of chicken and veggies. I tried yogurt but discovered we are NOT friends. Emily was so encouraging and would help point out things I could add to my picture food journals to create a balanced meal. We had some moments where some foods I was eating just didn't sit right with me but so thankful the team could provide alternatives without me sitting here trying to spin my wheels. Slowly but surely I saw changes in my body. My nails were growing, my stomach would rumble in the morning when I woke up (hello, please feed me!) and my gut health/bowel movements got better, and one day I realized I wasn't getting an afternoon crash! I had to adjust my mindset on how much food to BUY in order to even have enough protein, fruit, veggies, carbs (our friend!) to have at home to eat. I loved the education modules, no calorie counting, learning how to have a balanced plate. Emily held me accountable but was also encouraging and confident we could get my cycle back. I highly recommend the team and would not have been able to do it without their expertise!!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole and Emily are both kind, knowledgeable and creative thinkers. It was the first time I have worked with Nutritionists that made a specialized plan for me and what I was trying to accomplish. I highly highly recommend them you won’t regret the investment in yourself

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Chews Food Wisely enough! Before starting the program, I was feeling sluggish, low on energy, and pretty defeated. From day one, the personalized support from Emily, practical tools, and regular check-ins kept me on track and motivated in a way I had never experienced before. Now, I feel inspired, hopeful, and empowered to keep building on the healthy habits I’ve learned. This program hasn’t just improved my physical health — it’s positively impacted every other area of my life. Everything feels connected, and I’m so grateful for the encouragement and guidance I’ve received along the way. If you’re looking for a program that truly meets you where you are and helps you create lasting change, this is it!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is so wonderful at meeting you where you are, hearing where you want to go, and giving helpful tips as to how to get there! She is so knowledgeable and caring.

Fantastic experience: It’s really hard to make changes when there’s not a plan, structure or education. CFW provides that and so much more. Nicole is patient, open minded and transparent with her own experiences. She’s a cheerleader for patient progress but also someone that provides comfort when the journey becomes difficult. I can’t recommend Chews Food Wisely enough. I’m forever in a better place, because I made the choice to work with them.

Fantastic experience: I decided to start the program with Chews Food Wisely because my PCOS symptoms were getting worse over the years. I was so tired all the time, no energy, mood swings and would only get my period once a year. Working with Emily was awesome! She was so patient and understanding in explaining all of my results from blood work and tests and what was actually going on with my body and making recommendations to combat my symptoms accordingly. Months later, I have energy again, stable moods, got my period more regulated (and lost weight as an added bonus). The knowledge and experience to better my body gained going through this program is invaluable!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Chews Food Wisely enaugh! I have been strugling with Hashimoto since 2019, and after months being dismissed by conventional medicine doctors, I finally felt heard and supported. My thyroid results never been better since I got my diagnosis. Nicole and Emily did not just treat my symptoms- but looked at everything from thyroid labs to nutritional deficiencies (hair evaluation was also included). Bye bye weight! None of my doctors looked at my nutrition, supplements and lifestyle changes to that level. What really stood out how thorough and compassionate they were. You want a different life- get in touch with Chews Food Wisely!

Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend! I had spent a couple years and thousands of dollars getting tests done with various doctors for my Hashimoto Thyroiditis as I didn't want to just go on thyroid meds. I was tired and frustrated and about to give up. But, fortunately, my trainer recommended Nicole. I did a HTMA analysis -- and most importantly -- Nicole helped me understand what it and my many other labs were saying about my nutrient deficiencies and what I could do with food and supplements to better support my body. I've been following the plan for about 6 months now and am feeling better and my labs are showing improvement. I look forward to continuing to work with her to support my wellness.

Fantastic experience: Prior to working with CFW I received a hashimoto's diagnosis and had no idea where to even being. I was too tired to take care of myself, stressed/anxious all the time and overall just not feeling my best. I found CFW and was so excited to get started with Nicole & Emily! They were absolutely amazing & I am so glad that I did their 1:1 program. I worked with Emily, she was the best! She is so kind and SO knowledgeable in all things health/ wellness, fertility & hashimotos. Since completing my program I am feeling so much more energized and confident in fueling my body. My symptoms aren't 100% gone yet, but CFW helps you set short term goals that make life time habits. Everything I learned from CFW will help me and my family long term. Thank you Chews Food Wisely!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is very knowledgeable and thinks outside the box to resolve issues in an inclusive way and not just focused on one aspect of health. I was hesitant at first but her coaching was life changing to me and I can see now why she came highly recommended from a few friends. Nicole listened to all my symptoms even the small ones that no one cared about and provided me with a plan that worked for me on all aspects. Within a few short weeks, I was able to get rid of debilitating migraines, reduce fatigue and maintain a healthy weight. No fad diets or not knowing what trend to follow or what to believe. She was very detailed in her plan for me including for the times I was busy, traveling, celebrating, or ordinary days. I am beyond grateful for her and everything she has done for me. No more questioning myself and ruining my health and metabolism while chasing advice that did not make sense. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Nicole’s approach is holistic, gentle and informational. She is super knowledgeable and offers many helpful resources to feel confident in responding to health needs, leading to long term success and progress.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Nicole and Emily. I have learned so much working with them, and I hope to continue working with them in the future. They take the time to explain how your body works, how imbalances affect it, and what your body needs. I've learned more in a few weeks that I have in the almost 20 years of my autoimmune thyroid journey. I am not where I want to be yet, but I have seen so much progress. I am saving money on supplements I didn't need. I am so hopeful for the future!

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Nicole for over a year now! She has helped me to navigate various health challenges and improve my overall functionality and health! I am very grateful for her! She truly dives into the root causes of issues and provides solutions and recommendations on supplements, nutrition, and life style changes that will help one get to their better self! Thank you Nicole and Chews Food Wisely!

Fantastic experience: Nicole and her team have been instrumental in helping me to understand my thyroid, and how to support my body in a natural way through nutrition, exercise and stress management. The personalized care and in depth labs were something I had never experienced from an endocrinologist in my 8 years of having hashimotos and I’m so grateful for a body that feels better, and knowledge to continue my healing journey moving forward.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is a delight to work with. A wealth of knowledge that she is able to bring down to the common individual without making one feel inferior or foolish for getting into dietary mayhem. Her insights on daily food choices is invaluable, it was like having a personal nutritionist in my pocket that I could bounce ideas off of and get grounded advice in contrast to influencer inspired chaos.

Fantastic experience: Chews Food Wisely has been a total game-changer in my health journey. Nicole and I had some conversations prior to me jumping in, and I’ve since been working closely with Emily—and the support has been incredible. With tailored guidance based on my HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) and GI-MAP testing, I finally felt like I had real answers and a personalized plan that actually made sense for my body. They broke down the science in a way that was easy to understand and gave me step-by-step strategies that felt doable, even as a busy mom. As someone managing Hashimoto’s, I was constantly feeling fatigued, bloated, and overwhelmed by conflicting health advice. This process helped me reduce inflammation, support my thyroid, improve digestion, and regain consistent energy—without guesswork. If you’re struggling with symptoms and want more than just surface-level solutions, I can’t recommend Chews Food Wisely enough. This has truly been one of the best investments I’ve made in my health.

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful a friend recommended Nicole to me!! Since working with her, I’ve seen dramatic changes in my body. I’ve seen whole body inflammation decrease, my sleep improve, and an overall increase in energy. She is brilliant, thorough and SO kind! I highly recommend working with her!

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Nicole and her team twice now! These past several months, paired with Emily and supported by Nicole, have moved the needle in my approach towards food, my body, and my lifestyle more than any other course or investment. Emily's gentle approach makes me feel like she trusts me to make intentional and goal-oriented food decisions - leading me to trust myself and achieve a balance of soul-filling and strategic food choices I have never before been able to accomplish. This duo of women perfectly marry science backed and targeted strategies with real-life grace and support. I am so glad I took the time and invested in myself!

Fantastic experience: With Nicole and Emily's help, I am finally back to feeling myself. Working with the chews food wisely got my body back on track where traditional medicine would say, "everything is fine!" I felt heard and understood each step of the way and I haven't felt this good in years. Thank you for all the educating content and the support on this ongoing journey! You will not regret investing in yourself if you decide to work with this wonderful team!

Fantastic experience: I have had such an incredible experience working with Nicole. I still have about a month and a half to go in the program and I can say I have pretty much met all of my goals so believe me when I say you will see the results. Nicole has helped me better advocate for myself. Through her referral, I was able to take the next steps in my care which were long overdue. Her protocol has completely revolutionized my gut and most of my symptoms have dramatically decreased, some have completely disappeared. Most of my days were spent with a lot of discomfort that I became pretty accustomed to and since working with Nicole, that is no longer the case. I absolutely love all the education in her program and all the recipes she provides have been game changers! I am such a recipe person and she has a recipe for everything! I have felt very supported by her and the structure of her program. My only regret is not choosing to do this sooner. So don't wait, its an investment of a lifetime and you owe it to yourself :)

Fantastic experience: Prior to working with Chews Food Wisely, specifically, Emily, I was discouraged and frustrated. The thyroid labs were “normal,” I was bloated everyday, constipated, had joint pain, headaches and I wasn’t losing weight even though I thought I was eating healthy. Getting the labs done and looking deeper into how my body was working made a huge difference in helping my body function at its best! After working with Emily for the past few months I lost a few pounds and all of my symptoms are GONE!! In addition I have so much more energy. Emily was so caring and she truly listened. She not only helped me with my nutrition and health but she helped me improve the relationship I have with my body and food. I can’t thank Chews Food Wisely and Emily enough for changing my life!

Fantastic experience: I was frustrated with my eating habits prior to working with CFW. I was on Keto for a couple of years and then when that no longer worked for me I switched to Low Carb. I was not able to lose any weight, slowly gaining and if I had a day or weekend where I ate recklessly I could gain 5 lbs in one day. I am definitely a numbers person, I like to know what my blood test results say and what that says about my lifestyle. I am impressed by the number of blood tests the CFW ran and the Hair Mineral test was a first for me. Results definitely resonated with me and how I was feeling. I have never had a dr go through the results of my tests so meticulously, it was so cool to learn what the results meant and how to change them. I love how the information was sent to me on video, I was able to watch and pause and replay whenever I needed to refresh my memory on something that was discussed. CFW offered a follow-up that allowed me to journal my food for a week and get quick reviews from CFW on whether my meal was balanced enough or how I could improve my meal plan in the future, that was priceless. I learned so much that I can put into action on a daily basis. The scale has already started to move in the right direction. Working with Nicole and Orli was a great experience and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with nutrition in any way.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nicole and her team helped me completely and sustainably change my relationship with food for the better, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nicole & Emily have helped target my nutritional deficiencies, support me through the journey of implementing easy changes, and truly have been such a blessing. With their support, I have been able to reduce my thyroid medication dosage, and my cholesterol numbers have significantly improved! I'm feeling much better after working with them for a few months.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nicole and Emily has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health. I had been struggling with inflammation, blood sugar imbalances and poor gut health for years. After the initial lab results they provided a diet and supplement protocol that immediately improved my symptoms. They provide constant feedback in my food journals that help keep me on track. They are always your biggest cheerleaders as well as giving you some tough love when you are struggling. Every single one of my markers are now trending in the right direction. If you have been struggling with unexpected weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and anxiety take action and sign-up for their thyroid bootcamp and 1:1 sessions. They are true champions!

Fantastic experience: Prior to starting my journey with Chews Food Wisely I felt extremely tired and didn't know what to eat to help me feel better. I did not get much accomplished each day. CWF listened to me and ordered the necessary blood tests to try to get to the bottom of my problems. CFW helped me to develop a satisfying meal plan and recommended the right supplements allowing me to start each day with energy, and achieve whatever I need/want to accomplish. On a recent trip to Prague, I was able to travel comfortably and to walk long distances without becoming fatigued, and to truly enjoy my vacation.

Fantastic experience: Working with Emily was such a great experience. Although I knew some of the information going in, I wasn't quite sure how to apply it to my life. Thanks to Emily, I have been able to enjoy food again, something I haven't been able to do for years. I feel better overall and this program exceeded my expectations. Although I came in looking to lose weight, I am leaving with love for food and myself. Thank you so much Emily and Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is an ABSOLUTE GEM! She not only has a beautiful soul and personality, but she is so knowledgeable and helpful in helping anyone to get to their nutritional goals and getting to feel better. As someone who struggles with autoimmune issues, I highly recommend working with Nicole is helping you achieve more energy and feeling better. She is truly AMAZING! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Working with Nicole and Chews Food Wisely has literally changed my life. I've known for a long time that something was going on medically, but doctors kept telling me that my labs looked normal and it was in my head. I didn't have any energy, anxiety levels were always increasing, and doctors just wanted to put me on more and more medications. Nicole took the time and actually listened to my story. She asked questions about my home life, my eating habits, my workout routine, and more to get a full picture of what my life is like. She ran bloodwork and hair sample tests that had never been offered to me before. Nicole assured me that I wasn't crazy and there likely was something going on in my cells to explain my symptoms. Sure enough, when the results came back, Nicole gave me a very thorough explanation of what the results meant and presented in a way that was easy to understand. There was a reason I felt the way I did and there were things that could be changed to help me feel better. Nicole gave me action steps, like adjusting my diet to be more balanced, adding in small bits of exercise, and even a personalized supplement plan to help give my body what it needed. More than anything, though, Nicole gave me hope and validation. Two months later, I feel like a different person in the best way possible. My family and friends say that I'm lighter and brighter. I feel happy more days than I feel anxious. I have energy to do things that I wouldn't have done six months ago. I'm intentional about what I eat and how I feed my body. I'm not perfect, but I know it'll only get better from here. Nicole and CFW have absolutely changed my life for the better, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Fantastic experience: Not only has Emily, as a person, been a delight to work with but the results from the personal care have made all the difference. I have spent years exhausted to the point that getting out of bed a lot of days was such effort, every day I was uncomfortabley bloated by the end of the day, horrible menstrual cycle, hair falling out, body aching almost daily like I had the body aches of the flu, joint pain that it would hurt to open a bottle of water or shake someone’s hand, headaches, brain fog, amongst several other unpleasant symptoms. Now for the last couple years I was able to read and learn and do the basics: eat breakfast, add protein, work on my circadian rhythm, nervous system work, minerals, and with those things I saw improvement. But the symptoms were still there, just not as bad. I knew I could feel better I just did not know how to get there. The personal one on on care, the testing to find root causes, and someone with the knowledge of how all those things fit together and were best addressed in MY body made all the difference. What a blessing to work with The Chews Food Wisely team. It has been an investment in my quality of life and my families. I am a better wife, mom, friend, and coworker being able to function in what feels like the most freedom I have had in my body for years. Thank you Emily and Chews Food Wisely!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Nicole and Emily from Chews Food Wisely. I have been struggling with several diagnoses and wanted to take a comprehensive look at my health with a functional medicine provider that could help me to optimize my nutrition in order to heal and bring my body back into balance. The testing revealed so many nutritional deficiencies and imbalances that conventional labs do not identify. Having this knowledge helped Emily and Nicole tailor a plan specific to my body's needs and I could tell the difference literally two days in! Four months later, my labs have dramatically improved, and though not fully recovered, I feel I am well on my way to achieving the health I desire. They are so encouraging, supportive, and knowledgeable. I am so thankful I was able to work with them and highly recommend Chews Food Wisely to anyone looking to invest in their own health and wellness!

Fantastic experience: Nicole and her team are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about helping each individual reach their highest nutritional and personal potential. I had such a wonderful experience working with CFW and could not have a better recommendation for someone to help you invest in yourself and your health.

Fantastic experience: Working with Choose Food Wisely has been a wonderful experience. I gained the knowledge and confidence I needed to care for my body, and most importantly my thyroid. Thyroid Bootcamp has an incredible amount of easy to understand information. Nicole is a great teacher! Don't miss out!

Fantastic experience: I met Nicole back in 2019 and consider her a key asset in my healthcare provider team. I would say Nicole's core strength is her detailed analysis of lab markers, connecting all the dots and delivering a plan of action to her clients in plain language that is easy to process. She never speaks in a way that is alarming but gently guides next steps on helping you feel better in the easiest and simplest ways. She is wicked smart about all things holistic health and has such a superpower in teaching her clients about how the body works. She is such a gem, and anyone who works with her will be beyond pleased with their results. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is an amazing practitioner with a wealth of knowledge who has truly helped me address and resolve health issues that so many other practitioners (MDs, functional med practitioners, naturopaths, holistic wellness practitioners, etc.) were unable to do. She is incredibly empathetic and validating and finally made me feel like I wasn't going crazy. Her constant reassurance that we would get to the bottom of things and that there were always more solutions we could employ if needed helped me stay motivated to keep going even when symptoms persisted at times. I would absolutely recommend working with her for thyroid, hormonal, and/or gut issues (for me, it was all of the above). My only regret is not reaching out to her sooner to address my concerns. You're the best, Nicole, and I'm so grateful!

Fantastic experience: Chews Food Wisely deserves 10 stars in my opinion! I very highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health through nutrition. I was struggling with the inability to lose weight despite regular diet and exercise; low energy levels especially in the afternoons; and unhealthy skin and hair. I suspected it was all nutrient related but I had no idea how identify it or fix it. After 20 years of dieting and exercising on a regular basis I still struggled with these issues. Nicole immediately did a deep dive into my labs and using a combination or blood and hair samples identified several nutrient deficiencies that were slowing my metabolism down. We corrected the deficiencies with better balanced meals and the weight started dropping. She has created the best educational videos to help me understand why my metabolism stalled and how to correct it. I feel so much better after her 16 week program and I learned so much! I’m confident I can now continue on my own without her daily support. I have two small children and the lifestyle changes we incorporated were doable even with my hectic lifestyle. Chews Food Wisely has changed my life and helped me not only improve my health but also the health of my immediate family.

Fantastic experience: Nicole's information has been tremendously helpful. Her self course is so full of easy to understand and scientifically based facts that I feel I can make smarter choices for my eating habits. Her knowledge of the intricacies of how the body works with metabolism and chemistry is so comprehensive it makes me feel as if I have a private tutor for a college course. I have been devouring all of the information and will review it again and again in hopes to glean a better understanding of my own health journey. I did the self course and labs and I can't thank her enough for her work. After so many years of being told my labs were normal and being tired is a part of aging, I now know how my own metabolism is causing me to hold onto weight and what to do to become healthier. Communicating with her has been so easy and if you truly want to own your path to a better healthy nutritional plan, follow her on her social media or better yet sign up for one of her many courses. Working with Nicole has been one of the best choices I've made for my own health journey!

Fantastic experience: There isn't enough space in this review box for me to express how thankful I am for Nicole. I originally came to her for help with GI issues that landed me in the ER three times within 6 months, but ended up learning about + healing other issues I didn't even know existed. Nicole is as thorough as they come, and she will be your biggest cheerleader throughout your time working with her. I don't think "dietician" quite covers the capabilities and expertise Nicole exhibits in all of her work. Not only did she help me heal my gut issues by getting to the root of the problem, she identified other areas (like severe hyperthyroidism) that needed improvement and worked alongside me until we found the right provider for our team. She never stopped advocating for me, and she stuck by my side when I refused a thyroidectomy which was my "only choice" according to the first few doctors I talked with. 6 months later and my gut is healthy, my thyroid is functioning at optimal capacity, and I have my energy back. There are a million other "little" things Nicole helped me accomplish, but I can say with full confidence that I would not be where I am today without her. I cannot recommend Nicole with Chews Food Wisely enough.

Fantastic experience: An excellent, excellent doctor, I swear, y'all, no one hesitates to come to her.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is not only knowledgeable, she is a wonderful person! I was tired of guessing or trying things I saw on Instagram or social media when it came to nutrition & diet. I was also tired of doctors brushing off my symptoms or just prescribing medication instead of trying to understand the real problem. I started searching for a dietician to help me with low energy levels, brain fog, poor concentration, insomnia & overall nutrition to support my health, exercise routine & motherhood when I found Nicole Fennell while searching on Google. After working with her one-on-one, I’m feeling MUCH better with steady energy every day. She listens to whatever issues you may be having & helps you work out a plan of resolution. Before working with her I was taking sleeping pills for insomnia, stimulants to combat the sleep aid daytime effects, and long-term oral contraceptives for all the pre-menstrual & menstrual nonsense. After working with Nicole, reviewing data from labs, & following her macros, micronutrients & supplement recommendations I now only take a very mild sleep aid. I have zero cycle-related symptoms!! She has created an entire video library with so much nutrition information that clients have access to even after you’ve finished your one-on-one work with her. She also provides tons of recipes that are specific to the goals & diet plan she prescribes to you. I feel very blessed to have found her & fortunate to be one of her clients!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole has such a gift of helping women! She heard my symptoms, recommended specific testing, and walked me through the results in a way that I could easily understand. She also recommended tangible and easy things to add in to my day to help improve my whacky mineral levels. Already feeling better after flowering her recommendations for several weeks! Her ability to provide education is also amazing.

Fantastic experience: Chews Food Wisely has been a great experience. After sudden onset of gut issues, I was recommended by my PCP to do functional medicine with a dietician. This 1:1 program dives DEEP with so much testing to help sort out imbalances. Nicole was a great listener, empathetic, and truly cares for her clients. If you're looking to invest in yourself, I highly reccomend this 1:1 program

Fantastic experience: Working with Nicole is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health. After being diagnosed with PCOS in 2020, I tried many “PCOS diets” and supplement protocols, but always ended up frustrated, discouraged, and very hungry. Nicole has given me a plan that makes me feel nourished and satisfied. Her practical approach is sustainable and is something I feel I can continue with long term. She is a brilliant dietician who fully understands and can explain what is happening in your body. Her science driven and lab backed approach assured me that the supplements I’m taking and the diet and lifestyle changes I’m making are the right path forward. I cannot recommend working with Nicole enough!

Fantastic experience: I cannot stress enough how helpful working with Nicole 1:1 has been for me and my thyroid/hormone/mental health journey! I feel so much better energetically! Before working with her, I had struggled with fatigue so much that going to the grocery store or running day-to-day errands took so much out of me! I’ve also got my brain power back, I’m able to read and comprehend information like I used to, and I am finally able to launch a podcast which has been a goal for so long! After spending so much money elsewhere, I wish I had started HERE! She is kind, loving, patient, and understanding. Her boot camp thyroid course contains all you need to become more informed, empowered and educated about your thyroid and how to better communicate your needs with your healthcare provider. I am so grateful!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is a brilliant dietitian! I would recommend her over and over again to anyone suffering with any type of hormone imbalance. She approaches each session with a positive, kind, and compassionate outlook. She listens to your concerns and comes up with innovative solutions. As someone who was struggling with poor gut health, a PCOS diagnosis, and a myriad of symptoms, Nicole tackled my situation efficiently and armed with a ton of knowledge to improve my health. She ran testing that no other provider on my team did and uncovered the root of my issues. Years after working together, Nicole also made herself available to help guide me through my pregnancy in regards to nutrition and safe supplementation. I trust and respect Nicole more than any provider on my care team and know I can count on her to guide me through any health challenges I may face.

Fantastic experience: Joining Nicole’s thyroid boot camp was the best decision I made. I learned so much from her detailed webinars and it helped me understand how the body works. I immediately implemented some of the things she talks about and feel better already. I can’t wait to work on the recommendations she has made for me and continue to feel better. Highly recommend working with nicole if you are dealing with chronic health issues.

Fantastic experience: Nicole has been AMAZING to work with! She has greatly helped be understand my body and how to treat it as a WHOLE. With my Hashimotos, I didn’t know where to start and she walked with me every step of the way. If you have been stuck and want someone who will truly invest in your health with you, Nicole is the one! All of your chronic symptoms (headaches, fatigue, stomach issues, horrible cycles) don’t have to be your normal anymore! And I promise, choosing your health is worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Nicole’s Thyroid Bootcamp has been so educational and extremely helpful to me, and indirectly to my family. She has a way of explaining how things work in the body that just makes sense. We were also able to pinpoint some issues during my 1:1 consultation that have been completely overlooked by traditional medicine. The knowledge gained was worth every penny. I would highly recommend taking Thyroid Bootcamp and working with Nicole!

Fantastic experience: When I started working with Nicole, I had recently been diagnosed with PCOS, had been dieting for years though still gaining weight, and was dealing with constant fatigue and exhaustion. Originally, my goals with Nicole were to lose weight and PCOS management was somewhat secondary. I thought I generally was doing very well on nutrition since I was eating the recommended servings of vegetables and keeping my calories “reasonably” low, so I didn’t understand why I was dealing with so many symptoms, cravings, and hunger. I didn’t even know I could live a life without constant fatigue since it was just so normal for me! Nicole’s deep knowledge of her field really showed me how much more I could do to improve and optimize my health while both eating more, managing my PCOS, and managing/lose weight. Her wisdom, compassion, and kindness also really challenged me to evaluate my relationship with food and body image and my why for working with her. After three months of working with her, my relationship with food has improved so much, and I am feeling SO much better than ever! It has also been very neat to see all the positive biometric feedback from my body like increased body temperature showing my metabolism healing, my period regulating for the first time in my life, and my recovery after intense workouts getting so much better! I can not recommend Nicole enough and it has been SUCH a joy working with her.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is very easy to work with, very kind, and very knowledgeable. The wealth of information she shares is impressive and very helpful. I will continue to use her for my nutritional consulting needs in the future.

Fantastic experience: When you are just trying to muster the energy to make it through a day, you don’t realize how much of life you are missing. Nicole changed that for me. She balanced the results of lab testing with a holistic and sustainable approach to everyday life, took the time to review my labs on a deeper level, and listened to how I was feeling. Her explanations are easy to follow and validating. Objectively, my labs are better than they have been in a long time. Subjectively, I feel stronger than I have in years and consistently find myself doing things that were once part of my life that I had forgotten about because I didn’t have the energy. Nicole has given me my life back, she is a blessing, and I am forever grateful I had the opportunity to work with her.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is one of the best if not the best practitioner I've ever worked with. She provides comprehensive, evidence based information in a way that's easy to understand and is always available to answer questions and respond to concerns. Nicole not only guided me in managing digestive issues that my doctors dismissed for years but put me on track to get a diagnosis for a condition that could have been extremally dangerous if it had continued to go untreated. I will forever grateful for her care and support.

Fantastic experience: So knowledgeable and caring! Find her on Instagram too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: As a dietitian myself, I can not recommend Nicole enough! I reached out to Nicole during a period of time where I felt like something was off nutritionally and wanted to have labs ordered and assessed. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else doing this. Nicole is by far an expert in functional nutrition and has an extensive understanding of the body, hormones, and how every single body system is intricately connected. She not only made sure to provide me with recommendations that were easy to understand and implement but also made sure I understood why she was recommending what she did. It is evident how passionate and caring she is in her work. If you are looking for a dietitian to help you understand your body and how your lifestyle may be impacting symptoms you're experiencing, I HIGHLY recommend meeting with her.

Fantastic experience: After being diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid condition I was overwhelmed and confused about how to support my immune system and supplement my thyroid medication from the nutritional angle. As a scientist myself, I was looking for someone who used an evidence based approach and had trained extensively as a registered dietician. Nicole has made a huge impact on my life even from out of state. She is incredible! Her knowledge of nutrition especially how it relates to Graves’ disease is outstanding. Even more, she is kind and patient. She takes time to break down complex matters and answer all my questions. And I have a lot because I’m a fellow science nerd. Nicole has played a significant role in getting my autoimmune issues under control. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole has incredible passion for helping others and she is so relatable and shares with you her own journey. I tired going the traditional medicine route for months to heal my server vertigo and migraine issues. That was helping a little but once meeting with Nicole and healing my body with food, supplementation and lifestyle change- that’s where the true healing began.

Fantastic experience: There isn't a more practical, effective, compassionate nutritionist than Nicole. I first went to see Nicole to try to address some stomach issues. Not only did Nicole help me to cure my stomach issues, she helped to clear up my skin, alleviate allergies and migraines, and to reduce inflammation resulting in weight loss. Her approach is practical; her protocols are manageable and are not overwhelming. Nicole has improved my quality of life, and continues to be a resource for me, my friends and my family.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is absolutely phenomenal to work with. She is caring, knowledgeable, encouraging and is the best resource. Her ideas and the way she helps you implement them is fantastic. Nicole helps you through the process and never leaves your side. I am beyond grateful to be working with her and HIGHLY recommend using her.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Nicole from the very beginning of her career as a private practice dietitian. She is one of the most kind, understanding, compassionate, and level handed professionals I have had the pleasure of working with. Her in depth knowledge of the human body and nutrition surpass most professionals and doctors I have encountered through my healing journey. She truly looks at you as a whole person and addresses your issues from a root cause stand point, vs the typical band aide approach you receive from a general practitioner. She has specifically helped my heal my thyroid and hormonal imbalances with her individualized approach and expertise. Whether you are dealing with thyroid issues or just generally not feeling your best, I can promise you working with her is worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is very attention to detail and helps cater to one’s health needs. My experience with her has helped me tremendously in having a different healthier lifestyle and has been quite a journey. Definitely anyone suffering from health issues that they don’t understand should seek her expertise. She will work one on one with you and be there every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is one of the most professional, kind, funny and knowledgeable registered dietician and nutritionalist out there. She brings a welcoming energy with every session and she is a great listener who is compassionate when it comes to your needs and goals. There is nothing "off limits" with what you can tell her in regards to your health because she is so easy to communicate with and genuinely wants to get to the root of your health issues. She helps put any of your concerns to ease with guidance and information that is tailored to YOU. I have personally had food sensitivity testing done through her services and it really helped me get a better understanding of what was going on in my body. All of her social media outlets are very helpful and packed with resources and knowledge, so I highly recommend you follow her on her platforms!! She is funny and personable and will definitely put a smile on your face, and her content is relatable and relevant!! 100000% recommend!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole helped me a few years ago when I was diagnosed with RA. She put me on a protocol for diet and supplements that reduced my inflammation.I felt much better afterwards. Recently I met with her to look at my supplements and she was able to evaluate and added some new supplements to help me. She is wonderful to work with. Would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is a very kind and understanding person. I believe anyone working with her will have an excellent experience. She understand what it’s like to be a mom, a business owner, and a wife as well as making good choices for your Health. I would highly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: I've had incredible results working with Nicole. As a dietitian myself, I have high standards in the practitioners I work with and Nicole is the best of the best. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and has excellent communication skills. With her assistance on diet modification and supplementation I've worked through diet intolerances and migraines that have resolved! She is an excellent functional medicine practitioner and I highly recommend working with her.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Nicole last summer to get help because no matter how little calories I ate or how much I exercised I was not getting results I wanted. After thorough blood work and seeing what areas I needed help I in I saw I was in the red for vitamin d, vitamin a and other areas. After months of vitamins and learning to not calorie count I recently got blood work back and was in the green for everything! It was quite the accomplishment. Love her app and food recommendations as well. Would recommend her to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nicole has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wanted to break down why: 1. She truly listens to you, your story, your issues and goals. I was a bit afraid it would conflict with my doctors but she only enriched the recovery and actually did way more than any of my doctors could do for me - provided support, listening ear, amazingly useful advice and solutions to my issues. She practically walked through a storm with me. I will be forever grateful. 2. She is knowledgeable. I learned a lot about my body, which is incredibly valuable. She is like a well of wisdom, and you can just draw and draw from it! 3. Another fear of mine is that she would prescribe a TON of supplements (I have seen people being put on huge amount of them). Nicole only suggested the supplements that MY body needs, and not more not less. I appreciated that aspect a lot. Finally, I think she is just an amazing professional, who puts heart in what she does and truly helps people. Worth every penny and more!

Fantastic experience: Nicole has been a wealth of knowledge and support. Her approach comes from a place of patience and understanding. She has desire to educate us to be the best help to ourselves and to be our own advocates. I highly recommend working with Nicole.

Fantastic experience: I have worked 1:1 with Nicole on and off since September 2019 and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dietitian. Nicole is compassionate, perceptive, nonjudgmental, authentic, and direct. She not only has an advanced knowledge and understanding of integrative and functional nutrition therapy but is also an active listener, allowing her to recognize and appreciate your unique wants and needs and provide advice and guidance based on that. I value her holistic approach to well-being and sincerely look forward to continuing working with her.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to Nicole for her knowledge and dedication. She’s smart, genuine, fun, and made me feel like family. After working with Nicole to arrest inflammation, increase my dietary knowledge and awareness, and fuel my body and soul to be the best person I could be, I can say, that Nicole exceeded my expectations. My inflammation has been significantly reduced, my knowledge and awareness increased, and I feel better than great. An added bonus is I’m still experimenting and having fun in the kitchen! I highly recommend Nicole.

Fantastic experience: I have struggled for years with autoimmune problems, not even knowing they were autoimmune issues. Nicole's knowledge and hardwork shines through her program. I was able to get answers with her I never got from other specialists. Education and personal experience really are needed when dealing with such important matters as your health, and Nicole has both. I am finally optimistic about the future. And so SO grateful I found her. I will be sending all my family to her, as everything she covers is so important. Autoimmune issues or not.

Fantastic experience: Nicole honestly wants what is best for her clients. She is passionate about her work and listens to them in order to help manage food choices that work best for our ever changing bodies. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes time to educate her clients. I have learned so much!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Nicole for about 1.5 months. In January 2021, I did her Brain Fog Bootcamp which was full of helpful information. It helped me build a nutritional foundation that has lessened the stress of the hard food choice decision making. She is punctual, knowledgeable and nice to work with. She wants to help her client’s feel better.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough! Working with her has honestly changed my life. She's patient, funny, brilliant and great at explaining complicated information, and her personalized eating plan has completely transformed how I feel both physically and mentally. She looks at the big picture of health and approaches nutrition holistically and as a problem solver. She eschews fad diets and encourages her clients to embrace sustainable eating plans (with a "mindful indulgence" every day) and focus on how we feel instead of the numbers on the scale. She also looks at each person's specific nutritional needs instead of making generalized recommendations, and she is a fantastic cheerleader throughout the entire process. I've learned so much working with her that I'll carry throughout my lifetime.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Nicole and Chews Food Wisely! I’m so grateful for meeting Nicole. She is very knowledgeable and a great listener. I’ve seen several doctors and dietitians for my digestive health issues and no one came close to resolving these issues/ concerns like Nicole. She invested so much time on my digestive health history to understand my discomfort. She also explains things in a way that are easy to understand. Together we created a customized plan unique to my issues. Nicole is very patient and caring. I’ve really enjoyed working with her. Thank you Nicole for your help; I really appreciate it!! :-)

Fantastic experience: Life changing. My husband is a client and she not only has educated him but has motivated him to create a healthy lifestyle that we have never been able to achieve on our own. I am so thankful we found her to guide his transformation to a longer healthier life!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is a wealth of knowledge! I am just beginning my health journey with her, but she's already given me so much great information. I'm looking forward to working with her to dig deeper and feel equipped to get started.

Fantastic experience: I feel like I've found a true partner in my journey, and I am so glad that I found Nicole! She's the perfect amount of support and guidance, and really helps you understand WHY we make certain choices and how that effects your goals (positive or negative). I feel like I'm finally learning about myself and how to manage my nutrition, versus just doing what seems to "work" for everyone else. I'm so excited about my nutrition now!!!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is so much more than a nutritionist. She has helped me understand how and why some of my "bad" food habits developed. Together we are strategizing healthier eating patterns that fit my palate. I am learning a lot and our sessions are very encouraging. She has introduced me to grocery store items and recipes that I love.

Fantastic experience: Dealing with gastroparesis and a hernia. Nicole has really helped me. She is very knowledgeable and understanding. I definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Nicole has been such a blessing in my postpartum recovery. I first started working with her about a year after my son was born. I was so exhausted and emotional (but knew it was different than postpartum depression). I kept waiting for things to get better but nothing seemed to help. She’s was so sweet and understanding during my weepy first visit. My lab work revealed that I had become deficient in several important minerals, and she quickly had me on the road to recovery with a nutrition, lifestyle and supplement plan. Nicole is very thoughtful in her approach to ordering labs/test and will work with you to find a solution in the most efficient way possible. I highly recommend! She’s amazing!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is focused on each individual person and how their body is functioning. With her fact based approach and thorough testing, she can help determine what the root cause of many symptoms are instead of simply treating the symptom and potentially creating others. I feel better than I've ever felt after eliminating foods that positively tested to cause inflammation for me (who knew broccoli or kale could be bad?). Next, I'm going to look at micronutrients and the way my body processes vitamins and minerals.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is knowledgeable, thoughtful and a great listener. She really spends time with you to understand your background and your struggles, and then uses that information to put together a treatment plan specific to your needs. Once you're on the path she is supportive, encouraging and flexible. I've hit some road blacks in my own recovery and Nicole has rolled with the punches and offered me wonderful advice. Results do take time, but the investment of resources is well worth it. Nicole is the best guide to get you to optimal health. I am so grateful for the work she does!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is amazing. Very thorough, thoughtful and easy to understand. She covers so much, and leaves no stone unturned. I feel like I have a definite direction with my diet and lifestyle now that will lead me to my optimal health! I look forward to working more with her. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is one of the most amazing people on the planet! I love her non-pushy, let’s get things figured out approach. She listened to me, suggested some testing, which lead to answers to why I wasn’t feeling well and then... solutions! I didn’t know I could feel this well. I highly recommend this woman!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is very knowledgeable in nutrition and a good listener. She has a practical approach to finding a doable path to health and well-being. I’ve revamped my eating habits, am 15 lbs lighter and feeling better every day. I consider my visits to and experience with Chews Food Wisely excellent for money.

Fantastic experience: Love Nicole! She is super personable and NEVER comes off judgmental. She genuinely wants to help you and has the knowledge to do so. I appreciate how eloquent she is in explaining things to me - it makes me feel like I am in good hands!

Fantastic experience: Nicole and her knowledge have made such an impact on my life! Having an autoimmune disease without a clear treatment path can be overwhelming, but the work I've done with Nicole has empowered me in my wellness journey. I even went all the way to Greece and back, and was able to make easy choices with food that works for my body. Nicole offers insight, information, and support, and you'll feel like you have someone in your corner and on your team! Highly recommend her. It's a game changer.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Nicole. She knows her stuff, is very easy to work with, and is so supportive and encouraging (and never judgmental).

After meeting with her and implementing her suggestions, I truly feel like a new person!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is always a pleasure to work with! I really appreciate her holistic approach to health and well-being . She has been so helpful in teaching me new healthy habits an reinforcing some that I may have “lost” somewhere along the way. Nicole is always very responsive, and creative with suggestions to keep things fun!

Fantastic experience: Nicole and Chews Food Wisely have helped me immensly with my stomach and digestion issues. For 2 years I'd been seeing traditional doctors, gone through every test under the sun, and been on many different medications- but nothing was really helping much. When I started seeing Nicole she helped me with natural supplements and diet changes that have me feeling better than I have in a long time. She is kind and helpful and I can tell she really cares about making all her patients feel great!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is hands down my favorite person to turn to for nutrition advice! She teaches food as medicine and makes it so easy to implement in your daily life! She is so kind and keeps it real, so it's easy to relate! I just love her. If you're looking to book an awesome real food RD, she is your gal!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is fantastic to work with.

Fantastic experience: Choosing the best foods for yourself and your family can be confusing. There is a lot of misinformation about what is healthy and what isn't. In my case I was already eating what I believed to be a healthy, "clean"diet but was still having problems with acne, infertility, etc. After having "normal" blood tests, my symptoms were ultimately dismissed by my doctor but I was still suffering. Thankfully, I found Nicole. Her holistic approach to food and nutrition falls in line with my own views. She was kind and understanding as we reviewed my medical and nutritional history as well as the symptoms I was having. She recommended several tests to help get to the bottom of what's really going on and she has a plan in place to fix the root cause using diet and supplementation. Nicole always takes the time to explain test results and the changes that need to be made to see improvement. If you're looking to make a permanent change in terms of what you eat or how you're feeling I highly recommend Nicole.

Fantastic experience: Nicole is so kind, knowledgeable and patient. She evalutates without judgement and is so gentle in her approach while delivering helpful, thorough information. I’m so happy I connected with Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Nicole has a personalized approach to helping clients with their nutritional needs, meeting them where they are in their journey. She’s very knowledgeable about how food impacts the body, and she helped me understand how certain foods were having a negative impact on me. I would definitely recommend Nicole and her services!

Fantastic experience: Nicole has been immensely helpful in designing a diet to alleviate my chronic migraines. I came to her looking for a low-histamine diet, and with her recommendations my headaches have dropped in frequency by 75-80%.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience with Nicole! She is knowledgable, attentive, and realistic in helping me achieve my health and nutrition goals. She is so friendly and easy to work with - I look forward to every visit I have with her! If you are looking for personalized attention and someone who actually responds to your questions, this is the place to go!
