1:1 Integrative Counseling and Functional Nutrition with Jena
Integrative nutrition means that I am not only an expert in nutrition, but I also take into consideration other aspects of your life that affect your health including the work you do, how well you sleep, what your energy is like, what kind of exercise you do and what kind of support you have.
With this approach, I view you not as a machine ingesting proteins, carbs and fats but as a human being with likes, dislikes, beliefs, feelings, experiences and history.
Functional nutrition takes into account your individual biochemistry, genetics, how well your gut is absorbing food and translating it into energy and what foods or chemicals may be causing negative reactions in your body. If necessary, we use specific labs to help us uncover what is at the root cause of your symptoms.
This comprehensive approach gives us as much information as possible to start your individual journey to greater health. I do not come with any preconceived ideas about what you may need but only make recommendations based on what we uncover together. My goal is to empower you to be your own best doctor, to trust the innate healing that your body is striving for and to no longer need me or any other practitioner. I primarily work virtually, but if possible and somewhat local, I love to have an initial in-person visit.
Programs may include…
- Initial session and assessment: history, current issues, starting recommendations
- Personalized food recommendations that will assist you in immediate and long-term physical health that best suit your body, health condition and goals.
- MRT Inflammatory food panel- blood test of 170 most common foods and chemicals
- GI Map Stool test- to identify gut imbalances causing immune deficiency, digestive problems, fatigue, reflux, and more.
- Targeted supplement recommendations with specific timelines. 20% supplement discount and 3rd party tested/pharmaceutical grade.
- Interpretation of conventional medical lab tests, if available
- Access to hundreds of handouts re-designed specifically for you
- Unlimited text/email
