Imbalances within the body can result in symptoms like digestive problems, fatigue, and weight challenges. This approach fosters a therapeutic partnership between the client and practitioner, representing an advanced form of nutrition practice that meets the health demands of today's society.

    Functional nutrition focuses on the entire individual rather than merely addressing a set of symptoms. It utilizes personalized lab tests, many of which can be collected at home, to identify potential healing opportunities within the hormone, immune, digestive, detoxification, and intestinal barrier systems. To restore bodily balance, Functional Nutrition incorporates a mix of therapeutic diets, sleep optimization, exercise guidance, stress management techniques, and supplementation plans.

  • Metabolic Chaos® is a state where HIDDEN stressors have caused malfunction, but the symptoms appear so far downstream that is is impossible to predict a root case. These chronic-stress related dysfunctions, dis-ease, or otherwise loss of function leaves the body in a weakened state of health and typically continued or worsened symptoms. Treating symptoms only leads to worsening of the underlying dis-ease state. Treating the paper only may help symptoms abate, but does not lead to true HEALTH in most cases.

    Health coaching does not ruminate on the past or the “story” the client has to tell. While it is important that their story is heard, a major principle of health coaching is to move the client positively forward to where they want to be.

    Coaching is one of the most effective skills for human growth. It is different way of viewing people, a far more optimistic way than most of us are accustomed to, it results in a different way of treating them. It requires us to suspend limiting beliefs about people, including ourselves, abandon old habits & liberate ourselves from redundant ways of thinking.

  • Three to Six months is not a long time in respect to the rest of your life. This is part of the mindset. If it feels “too long” or “grueling” or “too much of a commitment”, I can already tell you that you’re in the wrong place.

    No one is coming to save you. No doctor, no teacher, no coach, no therapist. It’s YOU and YOU, at the end of the day. This program requires that you step in to this role of radical self-responsibility in changing your lifestyle and mindset.

    People commonly waste hundreds of dollars on random supplements that are advertised to them to cure “xyz”, and spend decades trying different random dogmatic diets in an attempt to figure out how to get well… just to end up even more lost than before.

    This program cuts through the chaos, using modern science and ancient wisdom to build the foundations of optimal health for you, for a lifetime.

  • No refunds are offered and results are never guaranteed. This is an OPT-IN model of health care, which means that your progress and results are dependent on your ability to implement changes in how you think, act and live. No one can do this work FOR you, or guarantee your success other than yourself.

  • As an FDNP, I do not EVER diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Instead, we look at subclinical markers as part of the big picture of you, and make recommendations to coach up your body’s natural ability to heal and coach down contributors to metabolic chaos.

  • The short answer is probably not. The long (and, yes, frustrating) answer is - It depends on the kind of insurance you have, and we do not do any insurance billing for many reasons, nor do we make any guarantees whatsoever on reimbursement. Insurance needs a diagnosis from a doctor to match with a diagnostic code for billing, and as FDN’s, we do not diagnose or treat anything. Clients pay for FDN services like any other personal service or product and then hope to get reimbursed by their insurance company.

    You will be provided, upon request, with a “superbill” which is a statement of the lab and consulting fees for your records. Some patients have successfully submitted these for reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses, especially if submitting to a Health Savings Account (flex plan). In any case, our office fees and the lab fees are usually tax deductible if you itemize health care costs. Speak with your tax preparation person to be certain.

  • Out of respect to my time and yours, the quick application process helps me gauge where you are at and if you are prepared to walk the path of self-responsibility in your health. Once accepted, you will have the opportunity to book a free consultation or jump right in to the program of your choice (or join the waitlist for next enrollment).
