Personalized Nutrition Consulting that I provide is based on the principles of Functional Medicine.
The focus is on you, not me. In our initial meeting, I am mostly listening and learning about you as a whole person: your eating and lifestyle habits, stress level, environmental toxin exposure, family history and more. Your responses are incredible testing tools that will let me to better understand your health’s history and your body’s biochemistry, which I use as a base when figuring out why you are ill. Our goal is to figure out what is the root cause of your health problem. When we treat the cause, this will allow your body to naturally come back to balance and heal.
Once the cause is identified, I design for you step- by- step program with nutrition and lifestyle changes. I will clinically monitor your case for the longevity of the program you choose, keep you accountable and educate you on how to continue on your own.
