Functional Nutrition Consultation

If your energy and vitality is essential to the expression of your creativity, full self, and mission on this planet… If your health and vitality is anything short of robust… Then you will find a place in our functional nutrition program.

Energy and vitality impact your creativity. That affects your ability to live in your own fullest expression. And that affects us all. You’re important! We need you feeling good!

You are a creative being. Your presence inspires. The utilization of your gifts transports others into the realm of their own self-expression. What you do makes a difference. How you feel – your energy level and presence – enables you to be fully yourself. When you feel great, your expression soars! When you’re fatigued or uncomfortable, it’s a struggle. As a culture, we all suffer the consequences. We need you!!

As a functional nutrition practitioner, I am one of you. Creativity makes me tick. I understand you. I am here to help. It would be my greatest delight to help you find your way back to center.

We live in challenging times

Here’s how things can start to slip. You work to get yourself up and running. Put in long hours. Eat what’s convenient and cheap. Sleep poorly (and not enough). You may take a “day job” to pay bills while fulfilling your creative spirit on the side. Self-care comes in last place. You grab a coffee and start over. You’re surviving, but unknowingly creating a debt. A nutrient and energy debt, exacerbated by a toxic burden.

Environmental toxins combined place a burden on your immune system. It’s easy to catch the latest bug or suffer the effects of smoldering chronic infection. (Ever had a virus or gut bug?) Your detoxification system becomes further compromised, and the cycle continues. You press on, but it’s harder than it used to be. Eventually, an extra day or two off doesn’t solve it. I’ve been there myself. You’ve got to take a different approach.

It’s easy to see how symptoms can arise when a person is under stress.

Restore your energy and vitality

Ultimately, it’s self-care that will restore your energy and vitality.

There are two aspects to our functional nutrition program. One is on the clinical end of things. We start with at least two, sometimes three or more, functional lab tests to see where things stand nutritionally and biochemically. We create a program just for you that’s designed to move any imbalances we may uncover in the direction of greater health.

The other aspect is lifestyle and mindset. We’ll check in on some factors like sleep, basics of a healthful eating plan, keeping margin in your schedule, restorative activities, speaking to yourself kindly, tuning in to your “feeling” state, and so on. Together, these two aspects move you forward on your wellness journey!

Individualized functional nutrition programs support you!

We offer custom-designed programs that vary according to your health and support needs. Programs run month to month and can be scaled according to your needs. Generally, an introductory program takes between 4 and 6 months to complete, with the option to continue as long as you are making progress. Maintenance and check-up options are available. This depends on you!

What you’ll gain from our functional nutrition program:

An understanding of how nutrient balance makes a difference in your energy levels.
An understanding of where you stand right now with respect to nutrient mineral balance.
A plan to begin restoring balance, decreasing toxic burden, and regaining your energy and function.
Insight into the effect of variables such as gut bacterial balance and pathogens, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, neurotransmitter balance, immune function, or the presence of biotoxins on your health situation.
A plan to clear your gut of imbalances and pathogens, and restore healthy function (if GI testing is selected).
Additional protocol planning as warranted.
Support (lifestyle and progress check support — options vary) as you work through your program.
A big step forward toward restored energy and vitality, comfort in your body, stable moods, and clear thinking.
Access to ongoing support to further and maintain health and wellness over time.

How it works:

Contact me to schedule a no-cost 20-minute conversation to see if working together seems like a good fit.
If working together seems like a good fit, then the next step will be to fill out our health history survey and schedule a strategy session ($125 / 60 minutes). We’ll talk about your goals and history. We’ll select introductory lab testing and an initial support schedule that best fits your needs.
At that point, you’ll have the option of registering for a custom-designed program.
