Holistic Nutrition &
Lifestyle Programs

Holistic Nutrition Counseling can be one of the most effective ways to regaining a happier, healthier more vibrant life. I offer individualized and specific strategies to help clients achieve a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After one on one personalized sessions, you’ll become well-versed at making the best food-related decisions, the most supportive supplements for your symptoms and condition as well as recommended lifestyle changes for your health needs.

​

I will teach you all about the basics of Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle and offer personalized recommendations that will give you the tools needed to get on the right track and back to feeling yourself again!

​

Holistic Nutrition can help with Headaches, Memory issues, Fatigue and lack of Energy, Bloating, Gas, GI Issues, Inflammation, Trouble Sleeping, Anxiety and Mood Imbalances, Hormone Imbalances and Acne.

Each person is so different and there can be many different influences at play causing symptoms and conditions which can be very complex and we need to look at every aspect for healing. It takes pulling back the layer of the onion so to speak to get to the root cause and treat the symptoms and prevent the condition.

​

I help you to understand these underlying problems that’s cause symptoms such as food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, immune deficiency, heavy metals, gut infections and dysbiosis, mitochondria dysfunction, genetic disorders, etc.

​

Consider me as your personal health detective helping you find the root cause and recover from health issues others haven't been able to.

Healing takes time and hard work on both of our sides to put the pieces together. Nutrition for healing should become a lifestyle and way of eating to heal and to combat disease which is not a quick and simple fix, it’s a lifestyle and way of living!

Getting and feeling better isn’t a quick fix and generally speaking if you have been sick for 10 years it could take 10 months to improve your health.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:

​

Finding the right Doctor to support my work:

Most conventional Dr's and even  neurologists can hold us hostage to medications right from the start. They have little experience, research and knowledge about the use of natural remedies, herbs, botanicals, nutrients and Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle. Don’t be surprised if they laugh right in front of you that harmful foods, preservatives, dyes, chemical ingredients, sugar can play a role in causing seizures. This can make you feel confused and even more vulnerable to meds. I’m the middle person and I help teach you how to become your own or your child's own health advocate.

​

I do recommend finding a Naturopathic Dr or Alternative/Integrative Dr., Functional Dr. who can support our work through this process. 

​

I am able to utilize many supplements from other Naturopathic or Functional Dr's and can help you navigate which ones may be best suited for your delicate and particular situation.

​

Choose the programs that works best for your needs:

​

If you are new to a clean way of eating, Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle nutrition and get overwhelmed easily and you foresee you will need extra support and guidance in between the appointments and have a more complicated or complex situation it may be best to sign up for the 6 week or 12 week program which includes the test results review appointment and follow ups. 

Please reach out via email and enquire on how to get started as I may not have availability right away for these extended programs. Once the payment is made, I ask you to book the appointment out in 10 days, I send you the educational materials to get started reading and you will fill out and send any health forms and labs or test results by email that I will need to  review.

​

All 1 Hour General, 1-1/2 Hour, 6 and 12 Week Comprehensive Programs are encouraged and recommended to get essential laboratory and functional tests done to provide more insight into the deeper rooted causes of symptoms and imbalances. I am not a doctor but I have been trained to read these labs and understand their meaning and impact on health. It helps me to asses potential root causes.

BLOOD SERUM LABS:

Complete Blood Count/Analysis which checks red blood cells, which carry oxygen, white blood cells, which fight infection. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. Hematocrit, the amount of red blood cells in the blood. Blood iron levels, and ferritin levels.

Comprehensive Metabolic Function Test which should include important mineral electrolytes such as Sodium, Calcium, Potassium, Chloride, Phosphate, and Magnesium, Total Protein, Lipids as well as Glucose, Renal and Liver function.

Nutrients ideally to be checked include: Vitamins B6, Folate, B12, Vitamin D 1,25 OH and 25 OH, Amino Acids, Creatine, Creatine Kinase, Ammonia and Homocysteine,

Prolactin, CRP, ERS to check for inflammation, Immunoglobulin IgA, IgG, IgM., Hormones (for some with hormone imbalances).

​

These can be done at a laboratory near you and needs your doctor approval to be covered by insurance. I can order some of these but it is very time consuming for me and I prefer you to utilize self initiated labs or through your doctor.

​

Comprehensive testing can be self-ordered through: Lab Corp On Demand, Walk In Lab, GoodRX, Quest Health, Ulta Lab Tests even through Lifestyle Extension. Click the link and type into the type of test through their search bar. You order and pay for the test, find a lab near you, take the test kit in, get a blood draw, wait for results. These are not covered by insurance.

​

Many NPD, Functional and Integrative Doctors can request these type of tests such as Vibrant Wellness Nutrient Panel.

​

I do offer testing through Meridian Valley and Spectra Cell out of pocket. See the Testing Page for more info.

​

FUNCTIONAL TESTING I PREFER TO UTILIZE TO FIND ROOT CAUSES TO DISEASE:

​

1. Organic Acids Test

2. Hair Heavy Metals and Minerals Test

3. IgG Food Sensitivity Test

4 Comprehensive Food Analysis if there are GI issues and concerns.

When these test results come back, I can provide a test review appointment or may look them over in the first appointment if you already have had them done.

​
