Your Gut Wants to be
Healthy
You, your body, and your microbiome are on the same team. If you want to learn to support your gut without extreme diets or overwhelming protocols, you're in the right place.
EXPLORE OPTIONSFood can feel Simple and Nourishing (not something to fear or constantly second-guess)
Testing may offer Insight. But, it can't replace learning to listen to your body.
Supplements can be helpful, but they were never going to do the Healing for you.
If you're reading this right now, you probably feel like you've tried it all. Crazy, oftentimes miserable diets, expensive cleanses and detoxes, "protocols" that make you feel like a pill-popper, and tests that promised big, ground-breaking clarity, but ultimately didn't deliver. If you're ready to break this cycle and start something that works, you're in the right place.
I believe that good nutrition is the key to gut health. But, not in the way you've probably experienced nutrition up until this point! I'm not going to be the person who tells you to cut out "bad" foods. I'm the person who shows you be benefits of adding things back into your diet. I'm the person who helps you find a balanced, healthy diet that works for your body.
I believe in the power of herbal medicines and supplements like probiotics. But, when they are used like prescription medications ("this herb to treat this") or in a "bio-hacker" way ("I'm gonna optimize this obscure pathway"), they tend to deliver so-so results. My goal is to be mindful of your experience and your wallet when I recommend supplements. And, my goal is to always to use the fewest supplements needed to achieve results.

Herbalist & Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Hi, I'm Nikki
Dr. Nikki DiNezza, DC, NTP
I’ve worked with people with chronic digestive issues since 2013. I've seen people build a more resilient microbiome, reintroduced high-FODMAP foods and carbs, moved away from old diagnoses like IBS and SIBO, and built a diet and a lifestyle that works for them. What might be possible for you if you had the right guidance and support?
I know what it’s like to be where you are — when every meal feels like a gamble and your “off-limits” list keeps growing (hear my gut health story here). When I healed my gut, it wasn't because I started the perfect diet or found the right protocol. Rather, over time, I learned to listen to my body and give her the support she needs to be healthy.
You deserve a care plan that brings back nourishment, clarity, and joy. I love helping people reconnect with their bodies and make sense out of symptoms that used to feel chaotic or confusing.
If this sounds like the path you've been looking for, I'd be honored to support you.

“I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. DiNezza. After years of inexplicable symptoms, referrals to multiple specialists and prescriptions that seemed to do more harm than good, she was the first practitioner to do thorough lab testing and get to the root causes of my issues. These were standard lab tests covered by my insurance that no one thought to test for! She is very skilled at listening and asking the right questions, interpreting and explaining the data, and devising a treatment plan. My health has improved dramatically under her care.“

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Dr Dinezza is absolutely the best. I had been having GI issues and recurring chest pain / inflammation for several years and had seen countless doctors, specialists and alternative medicine professionals to no avail until I saw Dr. Dinezza. As a result, I was very skeptical (but hopeful) based on all my prior bad experiences with healthcare professionals and the frustration of never knowing the underlying causes. She treated me for leaky gut, SIBO, gut dysbiosis, dismotility and IBS. Long story short, she fixed me up in a period of mere weeks.“
- Matt
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Dr. DiNezza is the first practitioner I’ve worked with that makes me feel truly heard and runs the right tests to uncover root causes and coexisting conditions. I appreciate so greatly that she feels more like a partner in health and solving health mysteries rather than just giving a medication and walking away. I know that I can always text or reach out to her any time for answers to my questions even between appointments, and having that access has made me feel so much less alone in this journey.“
- Steph D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Unlike most MDs, she took her time with me, making sure I understood what the tests showed, which I greatly appreciated. Also unlike medical doctors, who only ever recommended harsh drugs that would do who knows what damage to the body while treating the symptoms, she also was able to make some further suggestions for my diet, and also recommend some good supplements, that would actually address the causes of the conditions I have.”
- Shelley S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Dr. DiNezza has been an invaluable resource to me. When I started seeing her, I was suffering from fatigue, body aches, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, and depression, among other ailments. Over time, Dr. DiNezza helped me to figure out what was going on with my body and to find solutions that brought my health back. I am so much better now…”
- Kara S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Working with Dr. DiNezza has been incredible. She is easy to talk to, listened deeply to my questions and problems, and prescribed supplements that have made my daily life a whole lot better. Not only that: she takes the time to explain test results and treatments and encourages me to take ownership of my own health… I feel so lucky to have found her. 10/10, would recommend!”
