Functional Medicine Health Consultant
My doctor says everything is fine. Why do I feel unwell?
It's NOT all in your head!
Symptoms are common, but they are not normal.
Why does the doctor say everything is fine, but you still feel so tired and unwell?
Most people who are suffering have impaired function, but they do not (always) have a diagnosed disease. Cutting edge functional lab work is subclinical. I am a trained expert in finding dysfunction in the body, and teaching my clients how to restore function.

Is fatigue a caffeine deficiency? Are headaches an aspirin deficiency? Is insomnia a lack of ambien?
Out-of-balance lab results are not the problem. They are the result of the problem. We look at every system in the body, and connect the big picture. This is data-driven, whole body work.
We create health as opposed to treating disease. The aim is to restore optimal function.
You must see your licensed physician for diagnosis and disease treatment.
As a functional health practitioner and consultant, I facilitate you in ordering functional lab work and we look for healing opportunities, and ways to support your body so it is given exactly what it needs. I teach you how to read your own lab work and develop tools to reclaim your health. We design a protocol and make lifestyle changes to restore you to optimal function.

Dante, Christ, and pretty much everyone worth reading talked about being in a state of exile. History's greatest people all suffered. If you do have a diagnosed disease, or just many unpleasant symptoms, just know that suffering transforms us spiritually. We will look at your lab data, but we will look at your whole life too.
Do you want to be like everyone else, or do you want to function optimally?

No one is perfect, and you have to live your life, socialize, travel, and go out. But when people give me a hard time for eating well, going to bed early, or using holistic products that work -- but don't always have the best smell (you can ask me about that one!) -- I alway say, "Do you want to be like everyone else, or do you want to function optmally?
There is no power-boating to good health.

You lived yourself into your current state. You CAN live yourself out of it, too. You can feel better in 90 days and move the needle, but many people will need more time for a complete recovery. I had mold illness and I felt much better in 90 days, but it took me a year to fully recover. I have continued to improve every year. Investing in my health was the best choice I ever made.

6 months
Why do the Jumpstart?
This is only for people with minor or everyday symptoms. This is NOT recommended for those with debilitating symptoms. (See the Comprehensive.)
This involves up to 3 Advanced Functional Labs. While the labs provide a biochemical roadmap, it must be understood that diet and lifestyle are the building blocks.
12 months
Why do the Comprehensive?
My goal is to leave no stone uncovered. This is for people with debilitating, chronic symptoms who have already tried everything.
This complete functional investigation involves up to 6 Advanced Functional Labs. We collect all the pieces of the puzzle up front in a thorough investigation and make this the last stop.
Who should do the Comprehensive?
What is included?
This package includes 20 hours of consultations, up to 6 Advanced Functional Labs, protocols, ongoing support, extensive research, and education about your specific case.
It should be understood that top-quality supplements are used for coaching up physiological mechanisms in complex cases. However, they are not a replacement for the building blocks of diet and lifestyle.
I use your functional lab work to identify healing opportunities and then teach you about them so that you are in control of your own health. Many people have several layers of hidden imbalances or stressors contributing to an unwanted condition or symptoms. By uncovering these healing opportunities, the goal is to restore the body to optimal function without having to “diagnose” or “treat”.
