Hi, I'm Margaret Powell
I created the functional health programs that I wish I would have had 10 years ago.
I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues and after being told to get back on birth control and take prescriptions for my acne, I took my health into my own hands.
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. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to share this knowledge to empower more women to feel good in their bodies for generations to come!
My team and I have helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, improve their fertility, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more.
- Jenna Wilson
I feel SO CONFIDENT to make healthy decisions based on MY health journey and test results. This is extremely empowering.
Working with you fixed a million things I was struggling with! I have no more headaches, better sleep, higher energy throughout the day etc. I would also like to note I started seeing the most changes physically after 6 months of work. This also happened to be when I got pregnant and that did NOT stop the progress. I feel better now while expecting a baby than I have in a long time!!
- Nina Lawless
The testing was different, the game plan was fully laid out and available to me. What you told me to do worked, simple as that!
There has been so much improvement. I came not having a clue how to fix all these things. I had worked with a naturopath doctor, traditional doctor, a dietician, and holistic nutritionist. Hardly anything changed or improved. From the start I could tell a difference. Some wins: depression is gone, brain fog is gone, afternoon slump is gone, insulin resistance is gone, sleeping through the night, lost 20 lbs, PMS is gone!
- Miranda Brackett
I couldn't eat dairy for as long as I can remember. I’ve still had no reactions! My acne is gone! I’m truly so blown away.
My goal was to get answers that showed something other than being told “your bloodwork is normal." I wanted to find the root cause of joint pain in my knees, fix my stomach pain / stomach issues, and clear my skin. My joint pain has dramatically decreased, my digestion is so much better, my acne has 100% cleared, I've learned how to nourish my body! I never thought this would happen!
Unlock hormonal harmony with a functional medicine, tailored to you approach.
We support a variety of symptoms including:
hormonal imbalances + fertility
Including PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, perimenopause, and hormonal imbalances such as PMS, PMDD, and irregular cycles
thyroid dysfunction
Over-active / under-active thyroid issues, have the classic signs of a sluggish thyroid but labs say normal? Let's talk.
Chronic gut symptoms
IBS, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux are not normal. We often see these issues go hand in hand with chronic skin conditions like acne + eczema.

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.
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 highly recommend a full thyroid panel, a CBC blood panel and are trained in advanced lab testing including Dutch Hormone Testing, Mold, and more.
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!
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.
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, 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.
