About Emily Luxford, MS, RD, IFNCP, CLT

YOUR DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST AND GUT HEALTH SPECIALIST

I’ve been where you are now.

This is my story.

I still remember the day the pain started. My family and I went to dinner at a local restaurant. I ordered my usual cheeseburger but I couldn’t eat it. The pain hit me as my plate was delivered. I sat there, staring at my cheeseburger, hunched over and silent. This was just the beginning. I was only 5 years old.

I suffered for 12 years before I was diagnosed with my first autoimmune disease. The first diagnosis had no cure. Four years later, I was diagnosed with my second autoimmune disease. Lucky for me, this disease had a treatment. But, the treatment didn’t alleviate all my symptoms.

By this time, I was an expert at living daily with a multitude of symptoms. My personal experiences shaped who I am today: my compassion, my determination and my career. After becoming a dietitian nutritionist, I realized I had another treatment option. I could use whole food-as-medicine to reverse my symptoms.

Having been diagnosed with celiac disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I have experience as the patient. I understand the client’s perspective and provide personalized care. As an educator and a dietitian nutritionist, I provide precise and attainable lifestyle interventions that meet the needs and goals of each patient.
