About Us
At Fueled & Free Nutrition, we believe you deserve real answers about your health—not just band-aid solutions.
Our approach gets to the root of your symptoms using functional nutrition, personalized strategies, and targeted tools to support your body’s ability to heal and thrive.
Whether you’re struggling with gut issues, low energy, or hormonal imbalances, we’re here to help you rebuild your resilience and feel like yourself again. Let’s uncover what’s really going on so you can finally move forward with confidence and ease.
Your health challenges rarely stem from just one single factor in the body.
Health issues don’t just appear overnight—they build up over time, often from multiple root causes and hidden stressors that aren’t always obvious. What starts as mild symptoms can gradually turn into something that impacts your daily life in a big way.
To truly heal, you need to understand what’s driving your symptoms at the root. That’s where we come in. Using a functional, integrative approach, we’ll uncover the deeper imbalances and create a personalized plan that includes nutrition, lifestyle shifts, targeted supplements, and healing strategies to restore your health from the ground up.
Our work together is about more than just symptom relief—it’s about giving your body what it needs to heal, so you can nourish yourself fully, rebuild your health, and create lasting habits that support your energy, resilience, and overall well-being.
True health isn’t just about how your body feels—it’s about having the energy, clarity, and resilience to fully show up for your life, pursue your goals, and feel your best every day.
Meet Margaret
Founder of fueled & free nutrition, certified holistic nutritionist + holistic health coach
Hi, I’m Margaret, the Founder of Fueled & Free Nutrition, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Holistic Health Coach since 2019, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and owner of an integrative virtual wellness clinic that has helped hundreds of women on their journey to optimal health.
I know from my own personal health journey that it’s possible to reclaim my body after years of struggling. My health journey led me to become the practitioner that I am today — I created the programs that I wish I had 10 years ago when I struggled mentally and physically with my own chronic digestive and hormonal symptoms.
I was confused and overwhelmed, dismissed by health providers who didn’t take the time to understand the “why” behind my symptoms. When I discovered Functional Nutrition and worked through the process of unraveling the root causes behind my struggles, everything changed.

Meet Aleece
Nutrition practitioner
Aleece is an experienced nutritional practitioner with education from the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Program (FDN-P). She found the functional health space in an effort to heal her own chronic health issues.
Her journey started as a young teen with awful acne and life shattering menstrual cycles. This led to multiple rounds of acne medications, with antibiotics and birth control sprinkled in every few months. She knows what it’s like to deal with constant stomach pain, gallbladder attacks, hair loss, chronic fatigue. After 6 years, 10+ doctors and 3 surgeries, she knew she needed a different approach, and found healing Practitioner to run labs and show me what my body couldn’t tell me.
