Identify Obstacles to Cure

Some of the areas we will address together include: The impact of foods on your health. Discussion of your overall symptoms, health history, challenges, and goals.

By working together, we will tease out when you began not feeling your best.

Some tools include, health history questionnaire, food journals, previous health records, lab reports, as well as your own personal experiences.

We encourage clients to listen to their bodies, as they are often holding key information to aid in bringing about healing.

Inflammation & Your Immune System

You Can Feel better!

Poor nutrition taxes the immune system. This promotes inflammation. Many of us today have heard about the negative impact that processed foods play on ones health. Yet all too often when an individual develops one of the many chronic diseases so prevalent in Westernized societies, they are not counselled about how to reduce the incidence of furthering the disease process and the connection between diet, lifestyle and inflammation.

By making meaningful nutritional and lifestyle modifications, individuals can create healthy changes that can have a positive impact on their health and overall immune system.

When our body’s live in a constant inflammatory state, there is no room for healing. In this situation our immune system spends excess energy putting out fires, which leaves little to no time for recovery and healing. By making meaningful changes that calm down and halt inflammation, the body now has the opportunity to relax (lowering stress hormones) and make inroads that bring about healing.

As stated above, “chronic diseases” are all too common today. Some of which include, Heart disease, Diabetes, High blood pressure & high Cholesterol, Osteoporosis, Gastroesophageal Disease (GERD), and IBS. These are all well documented to have a nutritional and or life-style component and in many instances, show major improvement when making dietary and lifestyle modifications.

Viruses and bacterial infections such as IBS, Lyme and Co-infections also stress the immune system adding to the inflammatory cascade. Learning how to lower the viral load and treating infections safely and effectively can in and of itself give the immune system the help it needs to be able to do the job it was designed to do, to achieve and restore health.
