About me...

Hi! My name is Gabriella Uvegi 

I am a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Reiki Practitioner and my passion lies within helping you get to the root cause of your unexplained symptoms, chronic conditions and ultimately live a life full of balance and harmony. I’m most lit up when helping you transform through exploring the deep connections between the body, mind and soul.

 

Born and raised in NYC, I was fortunate to grow up understanding the power of natural healing and the profound impact that food has on the mind and body. My parents raised us with the value of alternative medicine and nutrient-dense, organic, whole foods. We treated illness with dietary changes and natural remedies - such as herbs, plant stem cells, and food as medicine. Tricks like putting garlic in my ear for an ear infection - it worked! I was always the girl with the “weird” (healthy) snacks. This upbringing inspired my curiosity and lifelong passion for holistic healing.

 

My studies began with an undergraduate degree in Food Studies and Nutrition at Syracuse University, where I explored the science of nutrition, food history and politics, and culinary arts. I then earned a Health Coach certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, gaining expertise in dietary theories, mindfulness practices, and practical coaching techniques. Specializing in Gut Health, I focus on the gut-brain connection and how it influences mood, immunity, and overall wellness. My work as a Health and Mindset Coach involved guiding clients in healthy eating, mindfulness, balanced diets, and overcoming disordered eating.

​

I then completed my Master's degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at the University of Western States. Discovering Functional Medicine felt like finding my true path. This approach focuses on getting to the root causes of chronic diseases and unexplained symptoms looking at hormonal imbalances, GI issues, autoimmunity, and more. Functional Medicine bridges the science behind food and the physical body while analyzing mental, emotional, and physiological factors of each individual. I specialize in connecting the dots between this emotional and physical intersection and supporting you through revealing and addressing these underlying root causes. This comprehensive approach looks at the person as a whole, creating a truly integrative path to wellness. 

​

My passion for energy and the spiritual world, along with my Reiki Certification, allows me to unite the physical and energetic elements of healing. Reiki has helped my clients release tension, restore balance, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote healing and overall well being.

​

In my practice, I focus on establishing personalized and realistic habits to make change that last. I consider aspects like diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, family health history, and childhood traumas to understand the whole story and address the obstacles unique to your life. I am your personal support for accountability, guidance, and getting clear answers. I get excited to look at each case in such a comprehensive way and help you find real solutions.
