About Erica.
Hi, I’m Erica—the founder of LiveWell Total Integrative Health.
I’m a Metabolic Health Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who helps people make sense of symptoms that still do not have a clear explanation.
Many of my clients know something feels off. They may be struggling with their energy, digestion, hormones, sleep, cravings, weight, or overall resilience—even after being told that everything looks normal.
They don’t need another generic plan.
They need someone who can step back, look at the whole picture, and help them understand how the different pieces may be connected.
WHY I LOOK AT THE BODY DIFFERENTLY
Before transitioning into health and wellness, I trained as a chemical engineer.
Engineering taught me how to analyze complex systems, recognize patterns, interpret data, and understand how a disruption in one area can affect the entire system.
The human body works in much the same way.
Digestion can influence energy. Stress can affect sleep, hormones, cravings, and recovery. Genetics can influence how someone processes nutrients or responds to their environment.
Symptoms are rarely as isolated as they appear.
That systems-based perspective became the foundation of how I approach metabolic health today.
How I work
My work is focused on metabolic health and metabolic health is about much more than weight or blood sugar.
When metabolism is not functioning properly, it affects everything:
-
Energy levels
-
Hormones
-
Fat storage
-
Cravings
-
Inflammation
Instead of chasing symptoms or relying on quick fixes, I take a step back and look at how your body is functioning as a whole.
Because once you understand the why, your priorities become clearer—and your approach becomes more effective.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans or quick fixes.
I combine:
-
Genetic testing to understand individual tendencies
-
Functional lab testing to explore how the body may be functioning now
-
Detailed health history and symptom patterns
-
Personalized metabolic health coaching
-
Nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, and lifestyle foundation
Genetics provide foundational context. Functional labs provide information about current patterns. Coaching turns those insights into practical steps you can apply in your life.
The goal is to help you understand your body and use that information to make more informed decisions about your health.
What my work supports
Clients often come to this work when they want to:
-
Understand symptoms that don’t fit neatly into standard explanations
-
Stop guessing and overcorrecting
-
Regain steadiness without pushing harder
-
Make decisions from a place of understanding rather than urgency
-
Create the metabolic foundation that can support reducing reliance on medications, when appropriate, in partnership with their healthcare provider
-
Have a long-term strategy for supporting their metabolism, whether they are currently using—or considering—options like GLP-1 medications
What this work is not
This work is not designed to:
-
Replace medical care
-
Provide diagnosis or treatment
-
Offer quick fixes

CLARITY BEFORE ANOTHER PLAN
You do not need more conflicting health information.
You need a clearer understanding of what your body may be communicating and a strategy personalized to your needs.
If you are ready to stop guessing and explore what your symptoms, genetics, and functional lab patterns may be telling you, let’s begin with a conversation.
