CLARITY: A Neuronutrition Program
For those struggling with brain fog, memory problems, fatigue, difficulty focusing, anxiety, or concerned about neurological decline, neuronutrition is the functional and holistic approach to caring for your mind and body. This three-month-long customized program will optimize the health of your brain based on your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Our approach includes: feeding the brain specific nutrients it needs to function optimally, a guided elimination diet removing foods that are toxic to the brain, adding the right targeted supplements for you, and making manageable lifestyle modifications.
This 8-week plant medicine mentorship is subtle, yet expansive. In Reconnect, Koko offers education, protocols, tools, and sacred space for those interested in using nootropics, adaptogens, and functional mushrooms to bring awareness to the areas in your life that you desire to make healthier changes around. She teaches you how to work with these plants and fungi to create healthier habits that will positively impact your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The work of healing isn’t linear; plants and fungi support us on our healing journey.

I’m Koko Lieppman-Collado, MS, CHN, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist, Amen Clinic Certified Brain Health professional, Ayurvedic Chef & Counselor, and mama of three young kids. Everything I practice stems from my deep belief that the food we eat and root cause treatment can truly change our lives. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own life and in helping hundreds of clients over the last ten years. I’m happiest and most grounded when I am purely in the moment with myself, my family, and with others.
