Saying no to societal norms that are making us, and keeping us sick requires education, support, and a plan…not to mention courage, perseverance, and a non-negotiable expectation to thrive well beyond basic survival
To get started I will review:
* Your health history and symptom questionnaire forms
* Any recent labwork which I will interpret through a functional medicine lens
* A functional stool test ($179) which reads the DNA of the microbes in your gut. This tells us exactly what microbes are present and in what proportions. Understanding your gut microbial profile helps us find a targeted remedy to rebalance your gut microbes and the terrain they live in
I recommend making a commitment to yourself of two sessions/month for 3 months ($135/session) in order to meet the following goals:
* We will restore your microbiome and reset your nervous system
* You will learn about your gut and nervous system so you can continue taking care of yourself moving forward. Gut & nervous system healing is not a one-and-done thing. My goal is to teach you how to steer your own ship as you move through life
Biochemical Pillar
~ The systems of the body are interconnected ~
I use powerpoint slides (with pictures) so you can understand how your body works and be self-empowered moving forward
Post-session notes remind you of where your going and how your getting there
I interpret basic labwork from your primary care physician using tighter reference ranges that point to imbalances before they become “diseases”. I also look at markers in conjunction with one another
Functional labwork is available though not a requirement. This type of stool testing provides insight into the exact profile of your microbiome. Another words, what strains of microbes are in your gut and their relative abundance
The Parasympathetic Pillar
~ Self-regulation is a skill you can learn ~
We can regulate our nervous systems without going into the rabbit hole
I share tools with you to work on the level of your nervous system rather than your story
Understanding how your nervous system works gives you autonomy over how you experience life
Be productive, not busy
By implementing tiny habits into your routine, in the right way, and in the right order, you can obtain two things far more valuable than wealth - your health and your time. Creating a routine or a system around a habit reinforces behaviors that support your goals without requiring a lot of thought. One tiny tweak at a time and you systematically create a healthier version of yourself. It’s more about consistency than it is about grandiosity
I recommend the book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything by BJ Fogg
