Announcing New Patient Availability
Thank you for your interest in Thrive Performance & Nutrition.
At this time, I am not accepting new nutrition counseling patients.
Thrive Performance & Nutrition has intentionally remained a small practice to provide highly individualized, evidence-based care. As I continue balancing my private practice with my role as Director of a university nutrition clinic, research, and (soon to begin) doctoral training, I have chosen to temporarily pause new patient scheduling.
If you’d like to work together in the future, you’re welcome to join the waitlist. I’ll reach out as appointment availability becomes available.
Please note:
- Joining the waitlist does not guarantee an appointment.
- I am unable to provide an estimated wait time.
- You will be contacted as openings become available.
Free Resources for EDS, hEDS, POTS & MCAS (and more)
If you found Thrive Performance & Nutrition because you’re navigating Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS/hEDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), POTS, MCAS, or other complex chronic illnesses, I invite you to explore my free Complex Dietitian Substack.
I regularly publish evidence-based articles covering nutrition science, digestive health, chronic illness, performance nutrition, practical strategies, and emerging research. My goal is to provide reliable, accessible information that helps you better understand your health while you wait for appointment availability. *Not personalized medical advice*
This isn’t a diet.
Together, we are building a sustainable lifestyle.
Nutrition is deeply personal. Crystal prioritizes individual preferences, dietary restrictions, available resources, cultural traditions, and unique schedules in everything she does.
