Founder & Functional Medicine Dietitian
Gayatri is an expert in lab-based protocol design, specializing in addressing the root causes of chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, gut issues, weight gain, and autoimmune conditions. Her approach, rooted in the functional biochemistry lineage of Dr. Richard Lord, utilizes the Kalish method and nutritional genomics to address imbalances at the cellular level.
Practicing as a registered dietitian nutritionist in Berkeley, California since 2017, Gayatri’s training includes a BS from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MS in Dietetics with 1200 hours of supervised practice through Eastern Michigan University. She holds additional certifications as a LEAP therapist and an advanced practice functional nutrition practitioner. Gayatri has trained under the guidance of Dr. Dan Kalish since 2020 at the Kalish Institute and focuses on balancing the gut-hormone-detox axis utilizing diet, lifestyle factors, and science-based labs to facilitate true healing.
Gayatri became interested in functional nutrition to gain tools and science-backed data that transcend beyond the “calories in, calories out” approach for energy balance and her metabolic health. Though undiagnosed, she had struggled with a connective tissue disorder since the age of 9. Functional nutrition offered solutions and helped put the focus back on health as the currency for longevity. Gayatri founded The Functional Clinic Immersion Mentorship in 2023 and trains dietitians and up-and-coming dietetic interns in functional nutrition. She is currently working on an eBook and is pursuing an additional credential as a Physician’s Assistant.
By recognizing triggers, managing stressors, and providing personalized support, Gayatri empowers young adults and busy professionals to feel their best and be symptom-free so they can pursue their true journey in life! She has helped hundreds of clients optimize their health and regain their life back. What would you do with your life if you didn’t have to heal your body?
Nutrition Coach
Lindsey Frost, MS, RDN, is an integrative dietitian at 23 Nutrition Therapy specializing in root-cause functional nutrition for women’s healthspan and longevity.
At age 27, Lindsey received a life-changing dual diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). After years of being told her labs were “normal” while symptoms persisted, she sought care from integrative practitioners who helped her address the root drivers of her health challenges. Through targeted support and lifestyle changes, she was able to reverse both conditions. That healing experience became the catalyst for her decision to return to school and help other women navigate similar journeys.
Lindsey earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science from California State University, Northridge, and a Master of Science from the University of Southern California. During her graduate training, she completed advanced coursework in longevity science at the USC Longevity Institute, where she trained with leading researchers, including Dr. Valter Longo. Her academic focus spanned longevity science, cancer biology, Alzheimer’s disease, and age-related conditions across the lifespan. Separately, Lindsey completed over 1,000 hours of supervised clinical practice through her dietetic internship, with hands-on experience in hospital ER and ICU settings and outpatient care.
Her clinical work focuses on optimizing women’s healthspan across the hormonal lifespan, with a particular emphasis on thyroid and autoimmune health, metabolic resilience, and longevity.
Brooke is a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiology from Sonoma State University and a Master’s degree in Nutrition, Healthspan, and Longevity from the University of Southern California. Her academic training, combined with personal experience, shaped her interest in functional nutrition and the use of genetics-based testing to individualize nutrition and exercise strategies for health, performance, and longevity.
Raised in two very different food environments, Brooke developed an early understanding of how culture, family dynamics, and emotional experiences influence relationships with food. As an athlete, she experienced the consequences of inadequate fueling on both performance and overall health. The loss of her father at a young age due to complications related to diabetes further deepened her commitment to understanding nutrition as a tool for disease prevention and long-term well-being.
During her own health journey, Brooke worked with a functional dietitian, an experience that reinforced the value of a whole-person approach that considers lifestyle, movement, stress, and individualized needs. Outside of her professional interests, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and traveling, which continue to influence her perspective on food, movement, and health across the lifespan.

Elizabeth (Liza) Gofman is a second-year grad student at California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. Liza has been with 23 Nutrition Therapy for almost three years, working behind the scenes, writing informative blogs, and collaborating with the team on various projects. A northern California native, Liza got her BS in Dietetics with a minor in Biological Sciences (focusing on Neurobiology) from Arizona State University before moving back to the West Coast to obtain her Master of Science in Nutrition, focusing on molecular nutrition. She is currently completing her Dietetic Internship and supervised clinical practice through various rotations while preparing for the RD exam. While in grad school, she also works on a research study addressing cancer risk prevention with California Wildland firefighters. Her research focuses on nutrition communication, health prevention, and education. Liza is passionate about effective nutrition communication, health prevention, root cause treatment, and hormonal medical nutrition therapy.
While always passionate about health, wellness, and nutrition, Liza became intrigued by functional dietetics and medical nutrition therapy from her own experiences with GI dysfunction. After countless conventional methods proved ineffective, Liza set out to learn more about functional nutrition to take control of her health. With an initial educational background in Neurobiology, seeing the gut-brain connection is what ultimately led her to shift her focus to integrative Dietetics in hopes of becoming an expert in the field. After seeing the available resources, she found her passion in nutrition communication to help educate others to take back their health using evidence and science-based strategies.
