Functional Nutrition Coach Online for Adrenal Fatigue | Well Humans

Feb 25, 2026

Working with a functional nutrition coach online for adrenal fatigue offers a personalized, root-cause approach for people who feel constantly tired, wired-but-exhausted, overwhelmed, or burned out.

At Well Humans, we understand that what’s often labeled as “adrenal fatigue” is rarely just about stress alone—it’s a signal from the body that multiple systems are out of balance. As a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, I look at the root cause for adrenal fatigue by exploring how stress, gut health, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, nutrient status, and nervous system overload are interacting in your unique body.

Functional nutrition coaching for stress goes beyond generic lifestyle advice.

Through online coaching, we use functional testing and in-depth health history to uncover hidden contributors such as gut infections, poor digestion, chronic inflammation, or dysregulated cortisol patterns. Nutrition for gut health is often a foundational piece, because the gut and adrenal system are deeply connected. When digestion is compromised, nutrient absorption suffers, immune stress increases, and the body stays stuck in survival mode—making true recovery impossible without addressing the gut.

One of the benefits of working with a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner online is the ability to receive highly individualized support no matter where you live.

Functional nutrition coaching focuses on strategic nutrition, nervous system regulation, targeted lifestyle shifts, and realistic behavior change—not perfection or restriction. This approach is especially important for those with adrenal fatigue symptoms, where pushing harder or doing “more” often backfires. Instead, we focus on rebuilding resilience, restoring safety in the body, and supporting energy production at a cellular level.

At Well Humans, functional nutrition coaching for stress is trauma-informed, compassionate, and designed to help you reconnect with your body rather than fight it.

By addressing nutrition for gut health alongside stress physiology, we help clients move out of chronic exhaustion and into sustainable energy, mental clarity, and balance. If you’re looking for a root-cause approach to adrenal fatigue that honors both your biology and lived experience, working with a functional nutrition coach online can be a powerful next step toward long-term healing and overall well-being.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
