In my ideal world, I would offer a program like this to every single person I could find. Our bodies are our home and caring for them has become challenging in our modern life. We are exposed to toxins that disrupt our systems, foods that irritate our digestive tract, and stress from a hundred different sources that complicates it all. 

This program looks closely at the messages being sent by your body to identify the sources of imbalance. It eliminates the causes of imbalance and restores the system so that the body and mind can function optimally. 

This requires you to tune in, reflect honestly, and make true and lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle. The benefit of fully committing to these changes is vibrant energy, clear skin, good sleep, and the absence of nagging digestive symptoms like gas, constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. Support for every system in your body means lifelong health and wellness. 

To get the most out of this program, I recommend you be able to commit to the following:

• Have an open mind about trying new foods and cooking methods
• Be receptive to feedback, suggestions, and recommendations about all corners of your life: food, movement, sleep, stress
• Be willing to honestly identify what's not working well in your current lifestyle
• Have at least 1 hour per week to set aside for virtual meetings with me or guided workbook exercises
• Commit to an open, honest working relationship with me that lasts 3+ months

Unfortunately, no. Many realms of holistic and functional health are not yet covered by insurance providers. 

Supplements purchased from the FullScript platform I use can be paid for via the following methods:

• Credit or Debit
• Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA)
• Health Spending Accounts (HSA)

The GI-Map Test^TM is included in the cost of the Just For You program. Any additional, a-la-carte functional testing can be paid for via the Rupa Health platform via the following methods:

• Credit or Debit
• Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA)
• Health Spending Accounts (HSA)
• 3-Month Payment Plans with no pre-approval

We'll meet virtually twice a month. These meetings are an opportunity for you to ask questions, receive feedback, and clarify any recommendations I've made. I'll review your lab results, explain your protocols, and provide education and guidance during sessions. Weekly check-ins, resource guides, and workbooks provide additional support in between sessions. 

These regular sessions ensure your health and healing stay on track. We can easily make adjustments and you'll feel confident knowing the why behind each of my recommendations.  

In short, it depends. 

Every person has unique root cause imbalances.

Most protocols are 3 months long. Each month has a slightly different focus in order to facilitate whole-body healing and rebalance. 

Most people start to notice improvement in their symptoms by the end of Month 1. 

Depending on the degree of imbalance, others may not start feeling differently for 2+ months. 

The personalized protocol offered by this program ensures you are receiving support from a holistic perspective. This means your entire digestive system is being soothed, repaired, and restored, the immune system is being supported, detoxification is being optimized, inflammation is being reduced, and your diet and lifestyle are being adjusted to encourage true, lasting healing. 

I provide holistic nutrition counseling virtually.

We will meet using GoogleMeet video. You will receive a calendar invitation to each of our virtual meeting that includes the video link. You will need to have a computer, phone, or tablet with video and sound capability. You do not need to have a Gmail account to use the meeting link. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions and/or concerns about virtual meetings.  

Functional tests provide clear, objective data about what's going on inside the body. They are incredibly powerful tools for identifying root cause issues. A protocol is not personalized until it's matched exactly to you using clear, scientific, research-based tools.

The Just For You program includes the GI-Map^TM Stool Test. Additional test kits are available a-la-carte.

All tests are shipped directly to you and can be performed in the comfort of your own home. 

GI-Map^TM Stool Test

• Highly sensitive quantitative PCR (qPCR) testing of living organisms (sensitive enough to detect one cell per gram of stool)
• Tests for dozens of beneficial and harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens including H. pylori, Candida yeast, Epstein-Barr virus, and more
• Identifies populations of beneficial and harmful bacterial populations. High, low, and normal levels of these populations are highly correlated with symptom presentation.
• Measures digestive capacity: ability to break down and absorb nutrients from foods

Additional testing options include:

Food Sensitivity Testing

Food sensitivities cause inflammation and irritation in the gut. They can contribute to poor gut health and poor gut function. Identifying the specific foods the body is reacting to allows us to remove them from the diet for a period of 1-6 months to allow the gut to heal, repair, and return to normal function. Elimination of certain reactive foods greatly reduces symptoms. 

DUTCH Complete Hormone Test

The DUTCH test evaluates sex and adrenal hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol. It is a complete picture of hormone balance because it evaluates hormone production, metabolism, and excretion. 

The GI-Map TestTM by Diagnostic Solutions is included in the cost of the Just For You program.

Additional functional testing can be ordered at any time. These are available a-la-carte.

Most likely, yes. 

Supplements are helpful tools for ensuring we're meeting the needs of each of your body's systems. Proper detoxification, immune system function, hormone production, etc. all require the availability of nutrients. Supplements help fill the gaps in the diet to make sure these needs are being met. 

I will recommend the fewest possible products to meet your nutrient needs. I believe strongly in the power of whole foods and will help you prioritize food first. 

I use the FullScript platform to recommend the supplement brands and dosages I like. You can order directly from the platform. Your order will qualify for a 15% discount from retail price. I receive a small commission on these orders. You are more than welcome to purchase supplements from your preferred store or online platform - I strongly recommend you find the same products as those I recommend on FullScript because they contain the nutrients and dosages that will be most helpful for your protocol.
