Unlock More Energy, Better Health, and Lasting Confidence—Personalized Nutrition That Works for You
Sustainable, Long-Term Results
You’re Not Crazy, And You’re Not Failing. Something Deeper Is Going On.
If You Feel Like You’ve Tried Everything, You’re Not Alone.
You eat healthy and exercise but your weight won’t budge
You’re exhausted even after a full night’s sleep
Your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal
You feel inflamed, bloated, or foggy
Real, lasting results come from improving metabolism — not chasing stricter diets.
Your metabolism is the system that determines how your body converts food into energy, regulates hormones, and maintains healthy weight balance.
When that system becomes dysregulated, even the most disciplined, “clean” eating habits may stop delivering results. This can be confusing, discouraging, and deeply frustrating.
The truth is, this isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a metabolic dysfunction issue.
At Whole Health RD, our Metabolic Coaching approach goes beyond surface-level nutrition advice. We clinically evaluate and strategically recalibrate:
● Blood sugar regulation
● Energy production efficiency
● Stress load and recovery capacity
● Hormonal signaling
● Nutrient absorption
Instead of guessing what to eat, we help you understand exactly what works for your body — so you can reclaim steady energy, reach your weight goals, and finally feel good again.

What client say about us
“Nicole is an extremely knowledgeable nutritionist.”
Nicole is an extremely knowledgeable nutritionist. I especially like how she offers unique lab testing and specializes in nutrition for women. Working with Nicole, I feel like I get a lot of personal attention. When something comes across that is related to my condition it is always shared with me. She sends emails regularly with a wealth of information and always responds to my questions. I have recommended this service to my friends and family. I have been very pleased.
“Nicole is truly a blessing.”
Nicole is truly a blessing. I don’t think I have ever met anyone who is so determined to figure out the source of problems and genuinely cares about what is going on with the client. She is so knowledgeable and not only gave me the opportunity to learn so much about the impacts of food, vitamins, and minerals on the body, but also showed me that she was very concerned about many of the medical issues I was having and worked diligently to remedy them. She has done more for me than any of my doctor’s including my gynecologist. It is evident she enjoys her job and takes her job seriously and with that, I will without hesitation recommend her to anyone.
“As a result of working with Nicole, I have a better understanding of what my body needs...”
As a result of working with Nicole, I have a better understanding of what my body needs from food to feel its best. My migraines have decreased significantly and respond more readily to pain relievers when needed. My menstrual cycle has returned to between 28-32 days on average. I am able to maintain energy throughout the day, which aids me in being a better psychotherapist, parent, spouse, and friend. I also feel stronger, more fit, and more well overall. I have shared about my experience with my PCP, Acupuncturist, Chiropractor, colleagues, family, and friends. They have all noted positive changes in my mood, energy level, blood work, and appearance. I would recommend the program. I very much appreciated the recipes, nutrition education, problem solving, encouragement and support.
“Nicole was great to work with.”
Nicole was great to work with. I learned way more than expected and greatly improved my health. As she stated, “We are all a work in progress “. I highly recommend if you are struggling with health issues or just need to prevent them!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Metabolic Coaching different from working with a typical nutritionist or dietitian?
Most traditional nutrition plans focus primarily on what you eat, calories, macros, or food lists. Metabolic Coaching looks deeper at how your body processes food. We evaluate blood sugar regulation, energy production, stress load, hormonal signaling, and nutrient absorption to understand why your body may not be responding — then build a personalized plan to restore balance.
I already eat healthy. Why would I need this?
Many of our patients come to us saying the same thing. When metabolism becomes dysregulated due to stress, inflammation, hormonal shifts, or blood sugar instability, even “clean eating” may stop delivering results. If you’re doing everything right but still feel stuck, it’s often a metabolic issue — not a discipline issue.
Will I have to follow a restrictive diet?
No. The goal is to create a plan that’s realistic and enjoyable for you—not something you dread or can’t stick with.
Is this just another diet plan?
No. We don’t believe in restrictive, one-size-fits-all diets. Instead, we help you understand how your metabolism is functioning and create a strategy tailored to your body’s needs. The goal isn’t short-term restriction — it’s long-term regulation and sustainability.
Can this help with low energy and fatigue?
Yes! Energy production is one of the core functions of metabolism. If you experience afternoon crashes, brain fog, or constant fatigue despite sleeping and eating well, metabolic dysregulation may be contributing — and that’s something we specifically evaluate and address.
I’ve had lab work done and everything was “normal.” Can you still help?
Absolutely, standard lab ranges don’t always reflect optimal metabolic function. Many patients are told their labs are normal but still feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck with weight. We look at patterns, symptoms, and functional markers to get a fuller picture of what’s happening.
How long will it take to see results?
Every body is different. Some patients notice improved energy and stability within weeks, while deeper metabolic recalibration takes time and consistency. Our focus is sustainable improvement, not quick fixes that fade.
What if I have dietary restrictions or preferences?
Dietitians respect your preferences and restrictions. They’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.
Who is this program best suited for?
Our approach is ideal for adults who:
- Feel exhausted despite eating well
- Struggle with stubborn weight
- Experience blood sugar swings or cravings
- Feel like their body has “changed”
- Want personalized guidance, not generic advice

Meet Nicole
Co-host of the popular podcast Real Food Radio
Hi, I’m Nicole Holovach, MS, RD, LDN.
If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and tired of doing everything “right” without seeing results, you’re not alone.
After more than 20 years in the field of nutrition — from research nonprofits to holistic clinical settings — I’ve seen how frustrating it can be when your body simply isn’t responding the way it should.
That’s why my work centers around Metabolic Coaching.
Rather than handing you another meal plan or restrictive diet, I focus on how your metabolism is actually functioning.
Your metabolism governs how your body produces energy, regulates hormones, balances blood sugar, and manages weight. When that system is under stress, even healthy habits can stop working.
Through a functional, science-based approach, I evaluate the deeper drivers of your symptoms — including metabolic patterns, hormonal shifts, stress load, and daily habits — and create a personalized strategy that helps restore balance at the root level.
No one-size-fits-all plans. No extreme restriction. Just clear, evidence-based guidance designed around how your body works.
I also understand this journey personally. I’ve managed my own thyroid and hormone challenges through targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes, and I know how life-changing it feels when your body begins working with you instead of against you.
My goal is simple: to cut through the confusion, uncover what’s really going on, and help you reclaim steady energy, sustainable weight progress, and long-term metabolic health.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding your body, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
