real talk...
80% of women suffer from hormonal symptoms like unexplained weight gain, PMS, hair loss, brain fog, low energy and more.
72% of women say they've experienced medical gaslighting-- healthcare providers downright dismissing, downplaying or not believing patients when they share their symptoms.
Women are tired of being ignored, dismissed or told their "bloodwork looks normal," even though they don't feel normal.
Symptoms are often chalked up to stress, hormones or depression and the mainstream solution is a prescription medication during a 20 minute office visit.
We empathize with the frustration of having hormonal or various health symptoms brushed off as "normal" or a part of aging.
You deserve to have access to the most up-to-date and powerful information on your body, so that you feel confident to have the power to make empowered decisions for your health and more importantly, feel your best every single day.
I believe that you deserve to be the expert of your body.
I know what it's like to feel desperate for solutions to fix your health symptoms yet only be told, "your labs look great."
I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues only to be offered birth control or a prescription medication for my acne.
I said "no thanks!" and started researching on my own. Lots and lots of trial and error-- you name it I've tried it (intermittent fasting, celery juicing, liver cleanses, veganism, dairy free).
I went back to school and discovered functional nutrition and functional lab testing in 2020, and THEN my health started to transform. I am healthier and more vibrant in my 30's than I was 10 years ago.
I found solutions, answers and hope and put my process and methodology into a program that uses a food first approach paired with the insights of functional lab testing.
We've since helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a great question and is dependent on how depleted and imbalanced your body is when you start. Some experience major improvements in metabolic markers quickly, while for others the process takes longer. Remember that you didn't get to where you are overnight, we can't expect our body to recover from things like chronic stress, under-eating, gut infections, hormone imbalances-- overnight. Remember that we do not heal you. You are ultimately responsible for your healing progress. We guide you, counsel you, provide you with expert advice, protocols, wisdom but it is your responsibility to listen and put in the work.
If you have had a GI Map (Diagnostic Solutions only), an HTMA (Analytical Research or Trace Elements only), bloodwork, or a Dutch test done in the last 60 days (and have not yet started a protocol), we can use them.
Yes, however we cannot do deeper level gut work when a client is pregnant (or breastfeeding). For example, we do not address major gut infections like H. Pylori, bacteria, parasites as the protocol involved is contraindicated when pregnant or breastfeeding. We work with many pregnant and postpartum clients and come alongside them in optimizing their nutrient needs, blood sugar, and prepping for postpartum!
We do not take insurance however some clients have success paying our services and lab testing with their HSA / FSA cards. Your ability to have these services covered is something you will have to look into with your HSA / FSA provider.
We have an alumni program! For a reduced monthly cost, you can continue to work with us, access additional lab testing if necessary, monthly zoom check ins and continued messaging access.
Yes, however the Fueled + Free Nutrition team of practitioners recommend incorporating high quality animal products for the majority of people. We will educate you on your options from an unbiased perspective, but the decision in how you eat is yours and yours alone.
Yes, practitioner grade supplements are a part of your monthly protocols. Certain supplements are recommended to support drainage and detoxification, especially in preparation for a gut protocol. Depending on the results of your gut test, you can expect to be on gut related supplements for 30-60 days or 90+ days (ex. candida overgrowth is a longer protocol). Expect to spend $100-150 a month on average on your supplements. While we do take a food first approach, supplements are necessary to address gut issues, fine tune hormones, and replenish depleted nutrients.
Or you can email us: hello@margaretpowell.com
Yes, you do have access to additional labs. You and your practitioner will discuss what labs in addition to the HTMA + GI MAP may be necessary. We offer more advanced labs such as mold testing, heavy metals, iodine testing in our alumni program. We are trained to evaluate bloodwork as well.
