Functional Medicine Health Consultant
My Process
1. Thorough Investigation across all body systems. Test. Don't guess!
I facilitate you in ordering labs that you can do in the comfort of your home. Uncover imbalances across all body systems through comprehensive functional lab screenings, questionnaires, conversation, and observation. We start with blood labs. Other labs include urine, stool, or hair analysis.
2. Address Imbalances. NOT Symptoms.
Addressing symptoms only is like blaming the fireman for causing the fire, or destroying the messenger for bringing bad news. Your reasons for getting sick are unique as your fingerprint, and the reasons for your health challenges are unique to you.
Why did you become unwell or tired? What imbalances, stressors, and lifestyle factors led you here? Discover how your imbalances interact together, affecting your whole body and impacting your health.
3. Objective data & holistic education: I teach you how to read your labs
Functional lab work is about patterns, and connecting dots. I spend many hours between sessions carefully considering nuances and overarching patterns of each lab, and then consider all the labs in conversation together.
I then teach you how to read all of your labs. You are in the driver's seat, and you will be able to uncover your own healing opportunities.
4. Better Decisions for Wellness: Advance Your Health with Personalized Research
It is urgent that you learn more about your current health state so that you can become more involved in decisions affecting your well-being.
As a thorough researcher, I will provide you the highest quality information for self-treatment options. I create personalized research for you. You have a right to access all available information to help you make decisions about your own health, life, nutrition, therapies, and wellness.
5. Restore & Thrive : An In-Depth, Whole Body Approach to Wellness
Develop an in-depth whole body protocol and make lifestyle changes that are specific to you, and what your body actually needs.
Correct course, and overcome any obstacles along the way with lifestyle coaching and full support.
Functional Labs: Measure Health instead of Disease
Finding Hidden Stressors & Imbalances
FDN practitioners uncover dysfunction and imbalances in the body. Rather than simply chasing symptoms, an FDN-P will help you to understand why those symptoms are happening in the first place. I work tirelessly, spending hours of research to connect your functional labs, health timeline, and symptom history.
Many people come to me as a last resort. They have “tried everything” including strict diets and exercise regimens, and they are not making progress. They have also been to many doctors and have not had success. These people usually have several layers of hidden imbalances or stressors contributing to an unwanted condition or symptoms.
Nutrition and exercise are important, but they are only one part of a larger holistic picture. It is impossible to live without symptoms if hidden stressors -- like gut infections, mitochondrial dysfunction, plasmalogen deficiences, toxic metals or other toxin exposures -- remain hidden from view. Guessing which supplements to take and what changes to make only goes so far.
