Background
I’m Luciana Godoi, MS, RD, LDN, a Registered and Licensed Dietitian with over 20 years of experience in clinical and functional nutrition. I work with individuals experiencing complex, chronic health patterns that often involve digestive dysfunction, immune reactivity, cardiometabolic risk, and hormone imbalances such as PCOS. Many clients come to me with a specific diagnosis, but their symptoms rarely exist in isolation. My approach examines how gut health, the microbiome, inflammation, metabolic markers, and lifestyle patterns interact. By connecting these systems, we create structured, personalized nutrition strategies that address both symptoms and underlying contributors.
With advanced training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and Next Level Functional Nutrition, I combine evidence-based medical nutrition therapy with a comprehensive, systems-based approach. I review laboratory data, including microbiome and metabolic markers when appropriate, and translate findings into clear, practical nutrition, lifestyle, supplement, and monitoring plans. Sessions are organized, actionable, and tailored to your goals. We focus on strengthening foundational nutrition, supporting gut resilience and microbial balance, improving metabolic health, and building sustainable routines that support measurable long-term progress.
Insurance-covered nutrition counseling is individualized and focused on medical nutrition therapy. For clients with more complex health patterns, such as long-standing digestive symptoms, layered metabolic concerns, hormone imbalances, extensive lab review needs, or advanced functional nutrition planning, an enhanced personalized support option may be recommended. This may include additional preparation, expanded review, customized protocol development, and follow-up planning beyond the standard insurance-covered session structure. This level of support is not necessary for every client, and any additional fees are discussed clearly before beginning.
Nutrition counseling is educational and individualized and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. I collaborate with healthcare providers when appropriate to support coordinated care.
