Functional Nutrition

Tried everything to lose weight & gain vitality but nothing has worked?  Dragging to get out of bed in the am? Bloated & hungry after meals?  Can’t think straight?

Your body is a very complicated, intrinsically designed machine.  You can only run as well as the food you digest, the air you breath and the level of stress in your environment. Too much bad food; or eating the wrong foods for your metabolic type™, too many toxins and too much internal & external stress can cause hormone imbalances, digestive distress, weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, depression, lack of sex drive, foggy thinking and more.

Hormones are like little chemical soldiers reporting for duty wherever the body needs them. When we put the body through stress, either internal or external, those hormone soldiers first go into overdrive to try to keep the body functioning. And for a while you feel great… like you can do anything.  And even though you have a lot of stress in your life, you’re on fire. But, that doesn’t last forever and one day you just wake up wondering where your bounce and joy went. Your tired all the time and can’t handle stress the way you used to. You are always asking yourself “what’s wrong with me?”

You find yourself browsing the vitamin, herb and homeopathic remedy section of your health food store for some relief! You start to try all kinds of things hoping something will help. And on top of it  your pants are starting to get tight but you haven’t changed anything about your diet or exercise routine.

Sound familiar?  It’s time to get to the root cause.

What is internal stress?

• food intolerances or allergies – gluten, soy
• parasites, viruses, bacteria
• alcohol, drugs
• chemicals, toxins, pesticides
• insufficient protein metabolism

What is external stress

• chronic distractions, noise, traffic
• unhappy at work, with life – existential angst
• fender bender – leading to internal stress
• lathering up in chemical laden body products
• over exercise

Why Dig Deep?

Not knowing the root cause of your weight gain, inability to lose weight, or your health issues and self treating with random vitamins or a fad diet, is like filling a flat tire with air, but never patching the hole. Yes, you can inflate it temporarily, but eventually it will lose its air again. Don’t you think it’s best to find the hole first?
