Our 90-minute conversation lets us take a deep look into what’s going on with you, assessing your symptoms, health history, lab-work, your health goals and your frustrations in reaching those goals.
Using the functional-medicine model, we'll search for the clues and causes that help explain your symptoms, with the goal of restoring optimal physiological function . Functional medicine provides this crucial trail of breadcrumbs; for only by identifying the root causes of disease can we address them and follow the trail back to health.
My recommendations for you will cover diet, herbs, supplements, and lifestyle modifications along with any mindfulness or breathwork practices that seem relevant and are welcomed.
Follow-ups allow us to monitor your progress, tweak your program and continue to brainstorm solutions. It's good to remember that since you didn't get sick overnight, it's unlikely that you'll feel better overnight either (though small steps can sometimes yield huge gains).
Think of a huge ocean-liner making a 180-degree turn in the ocean....it is turning, but it's a process.....and turning around takes time.
Let me help you set small goals and accompany you through the maybe-fast, maybe-slow, but lovely turnings that your life will take once you focus on what you want and then clear a path to get there.
Though all types of nutrients are vital to our health, phytonutrients–found exclusively in plants–are elite 'super-nutrients' that help us lose weight without counting calories, protect against heart disease and cancer, boost our immunity, open our arteries within minutes of consumption and optimize the health of every cell and organ in our bodies.
We are only now realizing the role that the 'good bugs' in our guts have in making these nutrients available to us, breaking down our fiber for us, and releasing powerful, healing 'postbiotics' in the process. Eating plants feeds these health-promoting bacterial populations.
A plant-based, Mediterranean-type diet has been found to be as or more effective as medication to treat GERD.
I am certified as a Food for Life Instructor by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, I'm 'fluent' in plant-based planning and cooking, and I will happily provide you with education, strategies, meal plans and endless encouragement!

Tired of living your SIBO story? I'm tired of it for you. If you are suffering with the pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation of SIBO, what you need to know is that there are solutions beyond managing to 'live with it' by eating a tricky, restricted diet.
Our 90-minute initial consult will help us dig for the underlying cause of your SIBO. Then our plan of action based on this information and your initial breath-test results will include herbal protocols that eradicate bacteria and methanogens, supplements that promote healthy motility (one key to sustained remission), and probiotics that recondition and rebuild the gut.
Let me help you navigate through this tricky condition, brainstorm solutions, answer your questions, offer between-the-cracks support, and also offer a hand with the intangibles like (less) stress and (more) sleep that just might factor into successful resolution of your SIBO.
I will stay the course with you, help you walk right out of your SIBO story to the best of my abilities, and back into your life.
