My Approach: To Help You Understand The “Why” Behind Your Health Concerns and Personalize a Plan for Your Individual Needs.
I know what it is like to struggle with disease and to be left frustrated and without answers by traditional healthcare. My goal is to give everyone I work with the hope and tools you need to live a healthier life.
In particular, I specialize in working with those dealing with thyroid, hormone, gut and adrenal issues and thyroid autoimmunity.
Hi! I’m Carrie Korem, FNTP.
For years, I struggled with IBS and debilitating migraines, which had me taking three different medications. Transitioning to an organic diet full of whole, unprocessed foods brought medication-free relief, until an improperly removed amalgam filling left my thyroid with an overload of heavy metals.
For a year I was plagued by hives, fatigue, and dismissive doctors before being diagnosed with a thyroid autoimmune disease. With the help of a holistic nutritionist, a nutrient-dense diet, and a lifestyle that included gentle detoxification, stress reduction, and a focus on nutrition, I was finally able to find lasting healing and reversal of my health issues.
Along the way, I became fascinated by and passionate about how the body has the ability to heal itself when it’s given the proper tools.
So, I went back to school to earn a certification in Functional Nutrition Therapy, I was mentored by the holistic nutritionist who had helped me to return my body to alignment, started a blog and website called Deliciously Organic, and authored two cookbooks, all to in an effort to help others find better health.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your health journey!

How do I get labs ordered?

Carrie will review your lab results prior to your consultation. Please note that she does not use the lab results for diagnostic purposes. Instead, the labs are used to identify any imbalances in your body and determine how we can best address those imbalances through nutrition.
What if I have additional testing I want Carrie to review?
You can easily upload any additional lab results to the Whole Practice portal, which you’ll gain access to after booking your initial appointment. This allows Carrie to review all relevant testing to support your care.
Why do you recommend follow-up appointments?
Healing is a process, and it’s not possible to address everything in one appointment. Consistency is key to making lasting progress. Scheduling follow-up appointments every 6-8 weeks ensures that you’ll see better results and faster improvements over time.
How many appointments do I need to see improvement?
Most clients begin to notice changes in their symptoms within a few days to a few weeks. As time progresses, you’ll also see improvements in symptoms, deficiencies, and other health markers.
For general concerns such as sleep, gut health, blood sugar balance, rashes, headaches, PMS, or perimenopause symptoms, most clients need about 3-4 appointments in total.
For more complex issues like chronic disease, autoimmunity, thyroid conditions, etc., most clients require about 6-10 appointments.
After your initial appointment, you can schedule follow-ups as needed to continue making progress.
Do you take insurance or HSA/FSA payments?
Carrie does not accept insurance payments. However, many clients have successfully used their HSA or FSA cards for consultations, though Carrie cannot guarantee that your specific program will cover the charges.
We accept payments via credit card or debit card.
What can I expect from an initial appointment with Carrie?
Your first appointment will last approximately 1.5 hours. Carrie will review your full health history, including any labs you may have, and answer any questions you have. Afterward, she will create a personalized protocol for you, which may include diet recommendations, detox or drainage therapies (if needed), supplementation, and lifestyle changes tailored to your needs.
What can I expect at a follow-up appointment?
Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 6-8 weeks. A few days before your appointment, you will receive a link to complete your check-in forms via Whole Practice. This should take about 10 minutes to fill out. The information you provide will help Carrie assess your progress and determine areas that need attention during your follow-up visit.
At each follow-up, Carrie will update your protocol based on your symptoms and any changes in your health.
Every third follow-up appointment, Carrie will order labs, which you can complete at your nearest Quest Diagnostics location. The cost of these labs is included in your consultation fee. This set of labs will be reviewed at your fourth follow-up appointment.
Consistency is key in follow-up appointments. The goal is to support your healing journey so that by the end of your work with Carrie, you will have established lasting habits to maintain and improve your health.
Do you work with women who are pregnant or nursing?

Can you diagnose?
No, Carrie is not able to diagnose medical conditions. Her focus is on holistic support and optimizing your body’s health.
Do you treat disease?
No, Carrie does not treat disease. Instead, she empowers you with the tools to support your body at a foundational level, such as through real food, whole food supplements, detox or drainage (if needed), and other lifestyle changes. By supporting core systems like digestion, the nervous system, the HPA axis, and detoxification, the body can gradually return to balance.
Do you prescribe medications, and can someone who is on medications work with you?
Carrie is not a medical practitioner, so she does not prescribe medications nor provide advice on them. However, many clients who are on medications successfully incorporate the nutritional therapy Carrie recommends. She always advises clients to inform their doctor of any supplements they are taking to check for potential contraindications or concerns.
Do you offer email support in between appointments?
If you have a question that can be answered in 1-2 sentences, feel free to email Carrie directly. For more detailed inquiries that require a longer response, Carrie recommends booking a 15-minute phone call. This allows her to review your file and provide the best possible guidance for your situation.
Additionally, please avoid direct messaging Carrie on social media with questions about your protocol. Account names and profile pictures can be confusing, and Carrie prefers to keep communication clear and organized via email or booked consultations to best serve you.
Do you recommend specific supplements?
Yes! Based on your health history, symptoms, and goals, Carrie will recommend specific supplements tailored to your needs. She has supplements available in her office for in-person clients, and will send virtual clients a link to purchase them, with direct shipping to your doorstep. Carrie aims to make it as convenient as possible for you!
