What We Do

Maximize a Healthy Lifestyle

Everybody is different in various ways: genetic composition, health condition, daily routines, personal desires and needs. With Illuminate Personalized Nutrition, we will strive to maximize a healthy lifestyle incorporating every aspect of what makes you YOU!

Lessen Biological Age

Our team is specialized in helping people overcome their age. Just because we advance chronologically, it doesn't mean we have to feel "old." Our goal is to help you change the way you perceive food and fitness, and develop a young inclination. If you struggle with lack of energy, weakness and fatigue, you should know that we believe clients can recover and live a healthy, happy, youthful life.

Get the Best Way to Longevity

Health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and depression can be debilitating. Medical advancements have provided life changing medications for these conditions. Please use them with caution and always include nutrition as part of your treatment plan. Food is medicine! We can work with your health care provider as they may need to adjust your medications as you improve your health with nutrition.

About Me

Dr. Esteliz Gillett

I have been working as a Physician Assistant for 18 years in Family Practice and Pediatrics. Throughout my career, I have been searching for the right kind of nutrition to help my patients. My husband, Andrew, and I fell into the low carb and high protein diet along with CrossFit training. We looked amazing and felt amazing…until we didn’t. Over a few years time, I developed chronic fatigue syndrome and Andrew developed diabetes. I felt the need to go back to school because the internet has so much conflicting information. I wanted to know what is the right daily food regimen to maximize our health. I did not want to mislead my patients and send them in the wrong direction.

With chronic fatigue, I was having a difficult time functioning throughout the day with very low energy. I was extremely emotional, crying over things I normally wouldn’t have, and could sleep 12 hours and still felt like I had not slept. My bloodwork revealed that I had low testosterone so I started on injections which gave me temporary relief. After repeated treatments, I knew I did not want to rely on injections my whole life. There had to be a way to fix myself more naturally.

My mother lived with diabetes and high blood pressure which led to multiple strokes and ultimately memory loss and paralysis. It was so disheartening to watch her go through that. Medication, diet and doctors were supposed to help, but she got worse over the years. Seeing things from this perspective made me want to do more for my patients and my community. They are someone’s family and loved one. Every life counts.

In 2020, I felt led to go back to school and get my Doctorate of Medical Science-Advanced Clinical Practice. I studied nutrigenomics, learning about how nutrition affects genetics and how genetics affect nutrient absorption. I even had my own genes tested and discovered surprising traits such as my inability to convert carotene into vitamin A.

After graduating, I wanted more. I enrolled in Holistic Nutrition Certification Program by the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA). The program detailed the science behind food, its nutrient contents, and its effects (benefits) on our bodies. I learned the cellular mechanics that are at the root of diabetes, hormonal imbalance, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. With that knowledge, we can use food to repair the mechanical failures or prevent further irreversible damages.

As I learned, I modified my family’s diet, and I am pleased to say that I have more energy than ever. My chronic fatigue is gone and I have not used testosterone injections since September of 2021. I have mental clarity and a sharper memory. At 43, I feel like I have the stamina of a 25 year old. Andrew is managing his diabetes through nutrition and medication. Each individual has unique needs and goals to consider with personalized nutrition.

I have been incorporating nutrition education as part of my practice with many successes. It is especially rewarding to help those who are in-between. They have unwanted symptoms, but do not have the lab results to identify the problem. We can thoroughly discuss all aspects of your life that may contribute to how you feel today and how we can improve your nutrition. I will continue to increase my science-based knowledge and impart with you as much as I can. We can use grocery foods to start the healing process. Welcome to Illuminate Personalized Nutrition!

I would be remiss

I would be remiss if I didn't mention my gratitude to God. I feel that the Lord has led me to this point. I never dreamed of being a nutritionist and being able to help people in a more natural way. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow (including natural healing foods).

Faith is very important , so I will incorporate any needs you may have of your faith to your nutrition.

Now Offering!!! Personalize your nutrition even further!!!

Nutrigenomics Genetic Testing

Nutrition is one of the most important lifestyle factors that we can control to reduce our risk of developing certain diseases and conditions.

Over the past decade, there has been growing recognition of how genes influence our nutritional status, which directly impacts our health. How?

We now know that different versions of a gene can make us respond differently to certain components in food such as lactose in milk, gluten in bread, or caffeine in coffee, along with carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and vitamins & minerals found in various foods.

Nutrigenomics is the science that studies the interaction between the nutrients we eat and our genes. Knowing more about your unique genetic makeup can help you find the optimal diet for your health, wellness, and even your fitness!

We all have unique nutritional needs!

With a Nutrigenomix test, you can learn:

✔ What nutrients you should focus on in your diet to best meet your unique needs

✔ How to eat to reach your performance, weight loss, or body composition goals

✔ Information about your fitness strengths or areas to improve upon, as well as your risk for injury and tips to prevent or manage it

Contact me to book your Nutrigenomix genetic test and start to eat according to your genes!

Are you trying to grow your family, but are having difficulty conceiving?

You may already know the importance of good nutrition when you are pregnant, but what about when you are trying to conceive? Are you getting enough vitamin D to optimize your fertility? What about vitamin B12?

Optimal nutrition during the ‘preconception’ phase can improve a couple’s fertility and likelihood of getting pregnant. There are several key vitamins and minerals involved in ovulation and fetal development, so your preconception nutrition should not be an afterthought!

And it may surprise you to find out that it’s not only about moms either. In fact, men’s nutrition and lifestyle habits have been shown to have a significant impact on their sperm quality. Approximately 30% of cases of infertility are due to the male.

So, if you are trying to conceive and you want to optimize your nutrition for improved fertility, contact me to schedule your Nutrigenomix test today!
