About Me
Chanelle DeGraff's interest in nutrition was ignited at the age of 18 when she was diagnosed with Discoid Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the skin. This personal health challenge sparked a passion that would shape her future career and life's mission. Determined to understand the profound impact of nutrition on the body, Chanelle dedicated herself to studying food as medicine, ultimately becoming a specialist who applies various dietary patterns to improve the health outcomes of her clients.
Her training in Medical Nutrition Therapy enables her to support clients with a variety of conditions such as autoimmune disorders, diabetes (both Type 1 and Type 2), heart disease, and mental health issues including ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Chanelle has developed a passion for exploring the complex relationship between nutrition, psychobiotics, and brain neurotransmitters, intrigued by how specific foods can significantly enhance mood, reduce anxiety, and improve overall mental clarity.
Chanelle believes that everyone deserves personalized nutritional care and practices with a holistic, empathetic approach. She finds joy in guiding each client to discover their unique path to wellness, helping them transform their lives and rediscover the vitality they may have lost. Her ultimate goal is to empower individuals to take control of their health journey, providing them with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their nutrition.
As a mother of seven, Chanelle brings a unique perspective to her practice, understanding the challenges of balancing health goals with the demands of family life. This personal experience enhances her ability to create practical, sustainable nutrition plans that fit into her clients' busy lives.
Chanelles’ approach integrates advanced nutritional science with a comprehensive understanding of individual needs, leading to personalized strategies that have enabled numerous individuals to regain control of their health.
When she is not working with clients or researching nutritional science, Chanelle enjoys spending time with her family, experimenting with new recipes, and reading. Her journey from patient to practitioner continues to fuel her passion for helping others, making her a true inspiration in the field of nutrition and wellness.
