I believe in a blended, integrative approach that combines preventative and lifestyle adjustments to optimize wellness as a first-line to address issues; however, use of conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals prescribed by a doctor should be incorporated when necessary. I believe that everything in the body is connected and that the human body has the ability to heal itself once the barriers to wellness have been identified and addressed. Conventional medicine has no equal in acute and emergency situations, but its focus is on managing illness. It does not seek to optimize wellness or get to the root cause to stop further damage from taking place in the body. Pharmaceuticals may address the symptoms, but because the underlying root cause is not being addressed, this may eventually cascade into additional symptoms and dysfunction. Current research shows that the majority of the diseases and ailments that plague us as we age are a result of lifestyle choices and the chronic inflammation that builds in our bodies over a lifetime. I believe it is better to prevent or reduce the occurrence of these issues by incorporating daily healthy, holistic practices and lifestyle choices. It is never too late to start!
Becoming a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) Practitioner is an intensive process and the certification is widely recognized for excellence within the health coaching industry. The rigorous certification course covers multiple metabolic areas in the body in which the majority of imbalances occur, leading to symptoms and less than optimal wellness. We do not chase and address symptoms; instead we provide access to functional lab testing to identify potential biochemical imbalances that may cause symptoms and that you may not even be aware of. Ours is truly an integrative approach that combines analysis of wellness history, metabolic function, lifestyle factors, and mental and emotional variables that may impact your wellness. We then use our problem-solving skills and an extensive toolbox to deliver out-of-the-box holistic protocols that deliver results. The course requires a passing grade of 80% on all module quizzes, the written final exam, and the three oral exams. Certification must be renewed every two years and annual continuing education courses are required in order to maintain certification. Certified FDN Practitioners are highly sought-after for their unique approach to solving complex wellness challenges.
No, I do not offer a single-session option because the best results will be achieved with a minimum of three sessions. This allows opportunities for follow-up on progress, adjustments that may need to be made to the protocol, and to keep you on track and accountable. Single appointments do not deliver results in the way that I believe they should be achieved and my goal is that you view your investment in time and money as worthwhile.
Having all data early in the process allows for a more comprehensive protocol to be developed up-front and for proper sequencing in the addressing of issues. In the long run this approach delivers quicker results and saves you time and money, yielding a more successful and worthwhile investment.
My wellness services are not classified as healthcare by the medical insurance industry, so they are not covered by insurance. I am not a doctor and can neither diagnose nor treat. My focus is on overall wellness and the improvement of health through the implementation of general wellness principles, along with the identification of the unique bio-individual needs of each client. I cannot address specific diseases; however, symptom improvement may be realized through my programs.
The price of the programs requires an explanation, which is more effective when done during the consultation. The FDN approach is different from any other wellness program in the marketplace, so comparisons with other programs would be misleading. The programs are not inexpensive, but my goal is to offer you a solid option that will deliver results and provide value for your investment. The functional lab tests are a core of the program in order to identify the underlying metabolic imbalances so that a targeted protocol can be developed based on YOUR unique bio-individuality. If you have been working with other practitioners and have some of the testing already completed, then I would prefer to use what you already have to keep costs lower for you. During the consultation I will be able to determine if I can help you and you can gather all the information you need to determine if you would like to and are able to work with me.
I do not offer group programs and have no plans to offer them in the near future. While group programs do offer a less expensive option for health and wellness coaching, I have found that their more generalized approach does not necessarily provide results for those with more complex wellness issues. My comprehensive programs are geared for those with more challenging, complex wellness issues that require a more customized approach to their bio-individual needs and the time needed for the analysis and problem-solving that will be required.
Unfortunately, I cannot make suggestions or recommendations without a client contract. Understanding a client's unique bio-individuality helps to ensure that protocols will be successful and not cause additional issues. I do not make generic supplement recommendations and I do not include trendy or the-latest-and-greatest products or techniques in my programs. My data-driven programs are based on sound wellness principles and quality research findings, not marketing. My ultimate goal is to be the last wellness practitioner that you will need to see and this can only be accomplished through personalized programs that are based on your unique bio-individuality. Please note that any messages or emails sent to me that ask for generic wellness information, suggestions or recommendations will not be answered.
While creating an account is not necessary, it will provide a convenient way for you to view all of your scheduled appointments.
The Members Only tab is private information that is accessible by those enrolled in the Vitality Programs. Through this page clients can schedule their appointments, order the necessary supplements for their protocol, and access resources that are relevant to their healing journey. The information is accessible only for the duration of the contracted program, after which access will be turned off.
