The Bululú Is Real.
Functional medicine nutrition that translates chaos into capacity so you can finally optimize.
What I Do
I work with relentless optimizers, athletes, high performers, and people who refuse to give up to build nervous system capacity BEFORE layering metabolic interventions.
This isn't symptom management. This is foundation-first functional medicine nutrition that addresses stress physiology, autonomic regulation, and metabolic resilience so your body can finally do what you've been asking of it.
Foundation. Capacity. Optimization. In that order.
You might be here because...
✓ You're exhausted despite doing "all the right things."
✓ You've tried every protocol: keto, carnivore, IF, elimination diets, nothing sticks
✓ Your body won't respond to interventions that work for everyone else
✓ You're metabolically stuck, can't lose weight, build muscle, or recover properly
✓ Symptoms don't add up, and doctors say your labs are "fine."
✓ You're an athlete or high-performer hitting a wall despite perfect training
✓ You've survived trauma, and your body still feels like it's in survival mode
✓ You're DONE with symptom management and ready to actually optimize
The missing piece? Your nervous system foundation. Let's build it.
Who Is This For
-
The Relentless Learner
You've read the books. Tried the protocols. You understand the science. But your body isn't responding and you need someone who can see what you're missing and give you the roadmap to build real capacity.
-
The Athlete/Performer
Training stress + life stress + metabolic stress = your nervous system can't keep up. You're not interested in 'good enough.' You want to optimize. You need performance nutrition that addresses the FULL picture.
-
The Trauma Survivor Who Refuses to Stay Small
You've survived. Now you want to LIVE. Trauma changed your biology. You need someone who understands how it lives in the body and how to build capacity so you can finally feel alive again.
How I work: foundation first, always.
Most nutrition approaches jump straight to intervention: change your diet, cut calories, add supplements.
I work differently.
Your nervous system is the foundation for everything: digestion, metabolism, glucose regulation, hormonal health, recovery, and performance.
If that foundation is dysregulated, nothing else will work sustainably.
So we build capacity FIRST through Polyvagal-informed protocols, HRV training, stress recovery work, and metabolic optimization.
THEN we layer strategic interventions when your body is actually ready.
No more spinning. Just a clear roadmap.
