As a functional nutrition counselor, I focus on root-cause resolution. By aiming to get to the underlying cause of the chief complaint or issue, we (you and I) will likely discover “what’s really going on in there.”

In order to uncover the true and unique root causes of your issue, we will go on a journey together to address the following;

The five core basics

sleep

exercise

nutrition & hydration

stress

relationships

The 6 physiological frameworks

gastrointestinal

immune and inflammatory imbalance

energy & oxidative stress

detoxification

hormones

musculoskeletal

I like to meet you right where you are – working out a step by step process. It can be overwhelming at times, but by looking at the diet, lifestyle, and completing the full health history intake form, we can zoom in a little to discover the framework to work with and to correct the imbalances. No matter how complicated a case may be, I always start with digestion (as most health issues point back to digestion).

We may not have all the answers at the start, but while addressing the chief complaint, I use clinical wellness tools, such as a daily record of food intake, systems survey, blood sugar handling and toxicity questionnaires to track contributing factors.

BrainSpan is another clinical wellness tool that uses omega-3 fatty acid biomarkers to measure cellular inflammation and cognitive health.

The Microbiome Stool tests is a good tool to measure microorganisms (both beneficial and pathogenic species), and the diversity of your microbiome as well. As we all know, our gut health plays a huge role on our immunity.

Complete lab tests and hair analysis are also good tools to use in order to rule things out and to get more clarity on the interior terrain.

While working through whole body systems, I treat the whole person and the individual. We are all different and our healing path with also be uniquely our own.
