About me


Meet Saundi

Hi! I’m Saundi, a Functional Nutritionist and the founder of OC Functional Nutritionist. As an adventurous mom of two boys, a former teacher, and someone that has experienced an array of health challenges, I am passionate about helping families to achieve optimal health and healing. I believe that true wellness begins by addressing the root causes of our symptoms.

My advanced nutrition education in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and completion of a 12-week clinical immersion program at BioLounge- a thriving functional medicine practice in Portland, Oregon, have provided a strong foundation for working with patients in a clinical setting. I specialize in a range of conditions including gut dysfunction such as IBS, SIBO, Candida, and GERD, as well as histamine intolerance, food sensitivities, weight loss, and children and teens with attention difficulties. I am able to address these conditions and symptoms with evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition strategies combined with comprehensive testing. Contact me today to get started!

A Journey of Health Challenges and Discovery


I faced numerous health challenges throughout my journey, including headaches, brain fog, joint pain, digestion issues, hormone imbalances, and fatigue. Seeking answers and relief, I explored traditional medical remedies that merely treated the symptoms without understanding the underlying causes. My motto became “Leave no stone unturned“ as I became passionate and determined to heal the debilitating symptoms I was experiencing.

Empowering Change through Functional Nutrition and Integrative Medicine

Frustrated with the limited progress, I embarked on a different path, seeking out integrative medicine doctors, functional nutritionists, and other health practitioners who focused on addressing the root of health issues. Through this approach, I discovered the powerful role of nutrition in healing. By using “food as medicine“ combined with nutritional supplementation and the most progressive therapies, I reversed my symptoms, restored normal function, and achieved optimal health.

The Power of Nutrition and Gut Health

I firmly believe that optimal health stems from understanding the root causes of our ailments. Did you know that up to 80% of your immune system resides in your gut? This realization drove me to dive deeper into the connection between gut health, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. By addressing these factors and healing my gut, I experienced significant improvements in my overall well-being.
