You’ve wanted to change how you eat, and your relationship with food for a while. But it feels so hard to talk with friends, family and co-workers who just don’t seem to understand how important it is for you to manage you food.

And now you are here, finding your Brave, ready to start this next adventure of eating to support your body, your wellness, your mental health, and your life.

It takes a lot to be brave enough to step into managing food sensitivities and allergies in this crazy world. I have additional training in advanced GI disorders like Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), Inflammatory Bowel Disease such as colitis or Crohn’s (IBD), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Intestinal Methanogan Overgrowth (IMO), and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) including using the FODMAP diet for management.

I thrive on supporting people to learn how to not just survive their condition, but live well with their condition, seeing the lessons it brings, and mastering our deepest inner knowing about how to best take care of this vessel we moved around in. And, I get it. Living with celiac disease for 17 years, multiple food sensitivities, and IBS, I have spent over a decade and a half learning what living a brave life looks like for me. And I’m so excited to help you find your brave life.

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is currently only for residents of Arizona, California, Colorado, Virginia, and Washington state.

MNT is perfect for people with a new diagnosis who want to learn about the nutrition and lifestyle changes available to them to manage their condition. Through Heart Spirit Nutrition Erix works with people who are private pay, then I can issue a Superbill for reimbursement. We can also take HSA and FSA payments. We are also teaming up with Berry Street to accept insurance, see below for details and booking links.

If you are not sure what you need, or you live outside one of the states listed but still want to see how Erix can help you as a Life Coach, book a 20 minute exploration visit to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to meeting you!

For Private Pay Clients, Steps to submit a Superbill to your insurance for possible reimbursement:

  1. Verify with your insurance provider that Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a covered service, ask if there are limitations (like only for people with diabetes, kidney disease, etc), and how many visits are allowed each year.

  2. Ask your Primary Care Provider (PCP) to send an MNT referral to Heart Spirit Nutrition at fax # 1-800-469-9901 with a ICD-10 code A-Y (can not be a Z-code like “nutrition help because it often won’t be reimbursed by insurance).

  3. Schedule your initial visit with Erix; payment is due at the time of scheduling, consider purchasing a multi-visit package if you are looking for support with things like: FODMAP diet, SIBO diet, weight management, diabetes, kidney disease, other complex conditions.

  4. At the end of the visit a Superbill will be provided to you.

  5. Follow your insurance steps to submit the Superbill for possible reimbursement.

  6. Done. Easy-peasy? Maybe not, but I’m here beside you each “step” of the way.

Appointments typically available Monday-Friday.
