All DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT
Discover the root causes of fatigue, gut issues, and hormone imbalance.
I Don’t Do Band-Aids. I Do Root Causes.
If you’re tired of being told everything looks “fine” while your body says otherwise, you’re in the right place. Let’s uncover the hidden drivers – gut health, hormones, stress resilience – and fix them for good.
What to Expect
Every consult starts with clarity – not confusion. Using functional medicine, we connect the dots between your gut, hormones, and whole-body health.
- Root-Cause Focused: I don’t chase symptoms – I ask why they exist.
- Whole-System Strategy: Gut, hormones, immune, nervous system – it’s all connected.
- No Guesswork: If testing is needed, we test. If not, we don’t.
- Personalized Plan: You’ll leave with clear, customized next steps.
Struggling with Gut Issues Hormone Issues?
These symptoms aren’t random – they’re red flags that your body is out of balance. Let’s uncover the root cause and get you back to feeling like yourself.
Tired of Chasing Symptoms?
Most healthcare focuses on masking symptoms – we call that symptom-chasing. At Functional Medicine Consulting, I look deeper. Whether it’s bloating, fatigue, chronic pain, or hormone chaos, I uncover the why behind your issues.
It’s time to move past band-aid care. My systems-based approach connects the dots – gut, hormones, and metabolism – so you can finally get a plan that actually works.

About Me
Dealing with confusing symptoms can feel like a full-time job. Fatigue, bloating, mood swings, or brain fog can leave you spinning your wheels with no clear answers. Here’s the truth: you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. My job is to help you understand what your body is really trying to say – and finally move forward.
I’m Sandy Rideout, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP) with a passion for uncovering what’s going on beneath the surface. For years, I’ve worked with people who were told “everything looks normal” while their bodies clearly said otherwise. I connect the dots between gut health, nutrition, hormones, and metabolism – especially in stubborn cases like SIBO, IBS, Celiac disease, and hormone imbalances.
I also specialize in methylation – the body’s master switch for healing, energy, detox, and resilience. When methylation is off, everything can feel off: energy, digestion, mood, sleep. When it’s supported, your body can finally get back to balance.
My goal is simple: to give you clarity, tools, and a personalized strategy so you can take charge of your health and feel like yourself again.
Let’s break those roadblocks down together.

Why I Do This Work
I’ve never been the type to rely on doctors for my health – and I never wanted to. Discipline, nutrition, and performance have always been my foundation. As a bodybuilder, I understood training and recovery inside out…but when gut issues hit, I realized something deeper was broken.
That wake-up call led me into functional medicine – and it changed everything. Studying biochemistry showed me how digestion and nutrient absorption drive it all: protein synthesis, muscle growth, fat loss, hormones, brain chemistry, sleep, mood, energy, even long-term disease risk. It all begins in the gut.
Now I use that same lens to help others – athletes, high performers, and anyone stuck in the cycle of symptoms — uncover what’s really happening in their bodies. Because when you understand the mechanisms, you stop guessing and start healing.
Whether you want to feel better or build a better body, you can’t do it with a dysfunctional gut. My job is to connect the dots your doctor missed – so you can train harder, think clearer, and finally feel like your body’s working for you.
