A Functional Medicine Approach to Health

“When it comes to functional medicine and nutrition, bio-individuality is one of the key concepts that drives your health and vitality.”

We each have our own unique preferences, needs, tendencies, allergies, sensitivities, diets, passions, and appearances. Every aspect of your life is unique and it makes sense your journey with health should be, too.

 

More and more Western doctors are being trained in complementary therapies such as functional medicine.

The practice of functional medicine incorporates the principles of from Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, which treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Many people today are living with “lifestyle diseases” like inflammatory digestive issues, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.


Now more than ever, we need to be active participants in our own health care and well-being. In a study done in 2017 by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), they claimed that of the $3.3 trillion in US health-care expenditures, 90 percent of these involved patients with chronic lifestyle diseases.

It’s so simple to see that most of what we battle with our health can be healed and prevented without major surgery or medication.

Bio-individuality

Bio-individuality is about being self-aware of your body and mind on what is speaking to you right now, and giving it what it needs so you may vibrate at your highest in all aspects of health.


Your needs change over time just like you do. With a bio-individualized approach you are honoring what works for you, not following a trend or operating by a one size fits all approach. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by research and new reports on what you should or should not be eating. You, my love, are not on this planet to “should” yourself or others—you’re here to live!

Restricting and following rules that weren’t designed by you blocks vital flow into your life, and that vital flow is what allows you to grow and evolve.

If you want to live a truly vibrant, healthy, and balanced life, you’ve got to figure out what it is that makes your body hum, figure out your own secret sauce that will allow you to thrive and bring equilibrium to your days. This is your blueprint for total wellness.

 THE GONE WELL METHOD

“Free yourself from fatigue and unlock your body’s full vitality.”

Are you fed up with feeling fatigued, or needing coffee to wake you from your brain fog? Are you living with a sense of urgency, where it takes hitting burnout to slow you down? Do you bloat no matter what you eat and don’t want to deal with decision fatigue every meal? Do you want to sleep better and feel more present throughout your day? Are you living with a restrictive mindset and want to heal your relationship with food so it no longer consumes you? Do you feel like you are living a healthy lifestyle, but can’t see any of the positive results?

With my unique GONE WELL method, every aspect of the program is custom designed to address your specific symptoms and health goals.

I use an integrative whole foods approach that goes beyond the body to unpack patterns and identify triggers in your mind that block you from unlocking the health you dream of.

I take a blended approach that uses functional medicine and Ayurvedic principles to incorporate your specific dosha (body type) into a custom protocol that is 100% unique to you. This program features a one of a kind framework that isn’t being used anywhere else. Be prepared to feel vibrant in your body and energized in your mind.


I believe the relationship you have with yourself and with food play a massive role in your ability to maintain optimal health. I am passionate about helping you get clear on what’s going on internally so you can implement sustainable and long lasting changes that will energize you to take charge of your life and empower you to be the healthiest version of yourself.

The GONE WELL method focuses on the FIVE areas women struggle to balance. If you struggle with any of the following then you’ve come to the right place, love!

 

1

STRESS

Do you feel like you have a never-ending to do list and no time to do it all? Are you always in a rush, living your life with a sense of urgency? Does it take hitting burnout to slow you down? Do you struggle to get deep restorative sleep and feel like you’re in a fog throughout your day? Are you someone who can’t seem to rev up your engine without your morning coffee?

 

2

GUT HEALTH

Are you over feeling drained, bloated, and unmotivated throughout the day? Do you suffer from decision fatigue around food, unsure of what won’t bloat and inflame you? Do you battle skin rashes or thinning hair? Are you ready to understand your body and heal your relationship with food so it no longer consumes your thoughts? Do you battle candida or yeast infections?

 

3

TOXICITY

Do you wake up feeling heavy or sluggish? Have you thought about detoxing your body but never know how or which detox does what? Are you someone that consumes alcohol regularly and would like to have a better relationship with drinking? Have you ever given a second thought to all the ways you consume toxins and the load it places on your liver?

 
 

4

HORMONES

Do you experience mood swings out of nowhere, feeling emotional even when you’re not on your cycle? Do you wish you understood your cycle and its different phases on a deeper level? Are you someone who struggles from intense painful PMS symptoms or has a low sex drive? Would you like to know how to biohack your cycle and plan your calendar around it?

 

5

MINDSET

Are you someone who has a restrictive mindset when it comes to food, jumping from diet to diet, and yo-yoing with your weight? Do you feel the need to be in control of everything, especially when it comes to what you eat and how you work out? Are you extremely hard on yourself? Would you like to reframe the way you look at your life and yourself?

 
 
 

Whether it’s healing your gut, balancing your hormones, or banishing burnout, by addressing these five key areas you will get clear on what your health goals are and release any blocks and patterns that are holding you back from unlocking your body’s optimal vitality.
