My Story
Like many, I have had a long road of hormonal imbalances and reproductive diagnoses, from PCOS to suspected endometriosis. For years, I struggled with crippling hormonal acne, recurring yeast and BV infections and debilitating PMS, and practitioners only gave me more meds and prescriptions that did not work for me long-term.
I knew there must be a better, more holistic approach. I didn’t want to keep taking round after round of antibiotics and be reliant on medications to “balance my hormones”. I wanted to truly heal and understand my body from the inside out and why these imbalances were happening in the first place.
I decided to go back to school to learn more about nutrition and women’s health. Even after earning a Masters in Nutrition and my Registered Dietitian license - I knew there was more to learn. In order to truly help people - in the way I wanted to be helped - I decided to deepen my well of knowledge and learn more about functional, root-cause nutrition..This approach dives below the surface of symptoms and gets into the root cause of WHY you are experiencing issues, not just more of “your labs look normal, there is nothing wrong,” when you clearly feel off and are desperate for answers.

Hi! I’m Erin McIntyre, RD
My Philosophy
My personal health experiences have fueled my passion for the field of fertility and preconception. I have a deep desire to help women struggling with their reproductive health. My practice is a blend of all my passions: nutrition, functional medicine, women’s health, mental health counseling and so much more.
I am dedicated to helping BOTH partners optimize their fertility using a holistic and functional approach because each partner is 50% of the equation.
Did you know that sperm quality affects conception rates, miscarriage rates, the health of the placenta, live birth rates and so much more? That is all to say, if we aren’t looking at both partners, we are wasting valuable time and missing a HUGE opportunity to fast track the fertility process and have a healthy pregnancy and baby. Interested in learning more about how both partners are part of the baby making equation? Check out this study published here.
True wellness begins from within—how we nourish our bodies, protect our energy, and create mindful intentions. As a holistic dietitian in Los Angeles, my practice balances science with soul as I use functional medicine along with my traditional nutrition education and the healing principles of mind-body alignment to support your journey to optimal wellness and fertility.
I believe that the body has an incredible ability to heal and thrive when supported with the right tools: personalized nutrition, sustainable lifestyle shifts, and emotional harmony. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, struggling with infertility, or simply seeking better balance, I’m here to serve you and empower you.

My Practice
Mind Body Connection
Through the lens of functional medicine, which looks at all aspects of your life, we focus achieving optimal health (not just the bare minimum) through nutritional and lifestyle changes. A functional approach is especially important when it comes to fertility. The body wants to be functioning optimally to feel safe to reproduce, setting you up for a safer, healthier pregnancy and beyond.
My practice is centered on balancing the mind body connection through functional nutrition, lifestyle optimization and energetics/mindset. My intention is to connect these aspects of ourselves back to our wellness journey. I integrate mindfulness techniques and mindset work, for clients who seek a deeper connection to their body and healing process. Your mental and emotional state are intricately linked to your physical health, including your reproductive health. For example, we generally work on setting healthy boundaries, managing negative/intrusive thoughts, and unlearning unhelpful belief systems/patterns that are getting in the way of your true potential. Mindset drives all of our actions so this is a very important part of the work we do together.
Energy Work
Through one-on-one consultations, targeted testing, and personalized wellness plans, I help you uncover the root causes of imbalance and rebuild connection to your body. I also have a wonderful network of providers that I refer out to when needed (fertility awareness educators, reiki/energy healers, acupuncturists, IBS specialists and so many more) so that you have the support you desire.
Why I Focus on a Functional Diet?
My goal is to help you reach your goals faster, more effectively and with minimal medical intervention (hopefully saving you lots of time and $$$ in the long run). IVF costs about $20,000 a pop so how about we try nutrition and lifestyle first (or at least alongside to help improve outcomes). Not only does optimizing your fertility through functional nutrition improve your chances of conception BUT it also contributes to the lifelong health of your future little ones- setting them up for better health outcomes throughout their entire lives and for generations to come.
Preconception is such an important time that not only sets the stage for a healthy pregnancy, but for the health of your baby and their babies. Generations can benefit from what’s done during the preconception period and pregnancy.
Los Angeles is filled with fast-paced lifestyles and fragmented care models. I work closely with women and couples navigating the often complex path to conception. I offer a comprehensive and functional approach to wellness that supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
By aligning nourishment with hormone health, gut function, and energetic balance, I help my clients reduce stress, restore their cycles, and prepare the body for a healthy pregnancy. Whether you’re working through PCOS, missing cycles, IVF /ARTs, or simply optimizing your body for conception, I’m here to help you with compassion and science-backed strategies.
