Starter Pack of 6 sessions includes

Health History and History Timeline

I offer one-on-one  counseling sessions starting with a lengthy health history from birth to your current condition or diagnosis.  This process is to dig deep into the start of symptoms and to parallel any outside stressors, trauma, or clues into your current diagnosis or disease state.  This is an interactive session where we begin to place symptoms or diagnoses on a timeline while also talking about stressors or past trauma which can influence disease progression.

After this session I would send you home to start journaling daily food choices, moods, hydration, bowel movements, and sleep patterns.  This tool enables us to start assessing and gaining clues regarding the foods your are eating and what symptoms they may be exhibiting in the body.  

Functional Medicine Nutrition Matrix

This is the most important tool in functional nutrition. I use this matrix to start to place symptoms on a petaled framework separated into specific categories such as gastrointestinal, immune and inflammatory balance, environmental, oxidative stress, detoxification, hormones and neurotransmitters, mind, spirit, emotions, community and structural integrity.  We also look at the environment in which the condition resides such as sleep, exercise, hydration, nutrition, support system, and stress and resilience as key factors to overall health. 

ART of the Practice

We Assess, Recommend, and Track.  We will together as a team come up with an Action plan and start to track those recommendations over a period of time.  

Root cause resolution takes patience, intentionality, planning, and a commitment from both of us as a partnership!
