Recovery is possible with
All Natural Strategies!
Did you know that 54% of American children have been diagnosed with a chronic illness? I am talking about adhd, asthma, anxiety, autism, depression, celiac, crohns etc.
According to Epidemic Answers this figure was 15% of only a couple of decades ago.
What is the cause you ask?? – The food we eat, the drugs we are prescribed, the toxins in our life, HIDDEN pathogens, gut permeability and the list goes on.
Recovery is Possible!
If you or someone you love is suffering from a chronic condition, one or more of the following might be the root cause:
Nutritional deficiencies and food intolerances;
Pharmaceuticals Medication;
Leaky Gut and inflammation;
Environmental toxins;
Dysfunctions in the body’s important systems;
Cultural and lifestyle factors.
As a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner and a mom who has healed her-self and her own child, let me show you that recovery CAN be possible.
My approach uses functional investigation and lab testing to identify HIDDEN stressors, dysfunctions, malfunctions and healing opportunities within the following systems:
Hormone
Immune
Digestion
Detoxification
Energy Production
Nervous Systems
These H.I.D.D.E.N internal stressors and dysfunctions highly correlate with the most common health complaints.
I will guide your family to health through adopting a self-care mode which is practical, natural and holistic using drugless protocols, dietary changes, therapies, behavioral changes and a bio-med approach which supports the body’s innate healing ability. This specialized and customized healing protocol CAN make recovery possible and combines:
Diet;
Rest;
Exercise;
Stress Reduction (including HIDDEN stressors which will be identified through functional testing);
Supplementation.
This will allow us to coach up your body’s “vital reserve” and coach down the “metabolic chaos”.
As my mentor Reed Davis says – “We don’t medicate, we educate!”

- Want to reduce or avoid pharmaceutical medicine?

Together We Will:

- Cut through the mountain of information and create a clear direction and path to recovery;

- Improve diet, digestion and gut health.
