Frequently Asked Questions
No, I do not. It is a holistic approach not covered by western medicine. However, I am addressing the root cause. This means it’s not only truly healing but preventative. I am not addressing symptoms that could waste precious time and money and potentially adverse effects on your health by medications that in addition never truly address the cause or heal you.
Whenever possible I can certainly assist in weaning off some harmful medications so that you can heal naturally and stop any further damage to your health, however, It really all depends on the individual and what the medication is for. Although some medications may have adverse effects on your health that everyone should be aware of, there are others that are necessary and may not interfere. I am not a doctor and I am not trying to take your provider’s place. If necessary, at times and with permission… I may work alongside your doctor to determine the best course of action. Your best interest is always in mind.
This will be different for everyone, their health status, goals and how we decide to move forward after speaking. You may go at your own pace or need a longer program with more guidance. More on the process HERE
- Apply to work with me.
- If we are a good fit, I will respond between 2-3 business days, and you will be prompted to schedule a free 30 minute discovery call so we can meet and get acquainted. Here I also inquire about symptoms, health issues/concerns, goals etc.… You can inquire about what I do, how I can help you or anything you have questions about including details on the different processes. More on what may be included in the process can be found HERE.
I use cutting edge laboratory testing. It is above the average or gold standard testing of its kind. This ensures accuracy and clarity. These include stool testing, blood testing for food/ingredient (covering some personal hygiene products as well) sensitivities, saliva/urine testing for male/female hormones as well as adrenal health and comprehensive blood testing that allows me to get a good view of the many systems and organs of the body including some nutritional deficiencies and thyroid health. More on testing Here. You can also inquire more about specific tests during a consultation.
Everyone and their healing process is different as well as what service you decide to proceed with. If after speaking with me you opt for one in depth consultation, I will give you a thorough breakdown of my findings and arm you with whatever tools, resources and/or educational material you may need to take it on at your own pace. If you opt for a longer program, I am with you every step of the way to answer any questions and guide you through every aspect of it using phone, text email and consultations. More on services HERE.
This will depend on what we determine the best course of action is after speaking with me.
No calorie counting here! We focus on healthy nutrient dense diets that you can incorporate into your lifestyle indefinitely. The dietary recommendations are based on your bio-individual needs, health issues and goals. That being said. There may be foods you will need to avoid during your protocol, however there is plenty of nutrient dense foods to include without restriction and in a balanced way.
The foods you abstain from really depends on your health issues, goals and potential test results. The testing I do will provide me with what foods may be causing any inflammation and so removing those for a time to facilitate the healing process is necessary. Realistically you may have to abstain from some foods you love during this process. I try to work with you to find replacements when I can. When that is not possible just know it is necessary during the healing protocol and it is not a forever way of eating. There are however plenty of foods to choose from that you can have.
Yes. I can order laboratory testing remotely and/or have kits sent to your home. Long distance consults are via video calls/zoom.
What makes me different is that I use laboratory testing so there is no guess work. For example, you may have digestive issues/symptoms that fall under a category… Say IBS, constipation or parasites. But why? And what exactly? The blueprint of YOUR gut is unique only to YOU.
There are other great modalities, cleanses and diets that can “potentially” help but are not targeted and may not necessarily address “YOUR” root cause. Testing ensures you get to the point once and for all! I work with special diets and top nutraceutical companies to give you the best supplementation available, and I am thorough in that I look at the big picture taking into consideration your health history, symptoms and lifestyle including stress reduction.
In addition, it is educational. You will learn about yourself, healthier choices, healthier living and be able to create sustainable practices you can apply long after we are done.
