Meagan had struggled with digestive issues for many years and she was diagnosed with IBS but hadn’t found ways to consistently manage her symptoms. We identified her food sensitivities and developed a nutrition plan that was realistic and sustainable for her going forward. We also added probiotics and other supplements and herbs to support her gut health. As her digestion stabilized, she also noticed improvement in her acne, eczema, painful periods and PMS symptoms. These other systems were affected by her digestive dysfunction and we were able to reduce her symptoms by addressing the root cause. Meagan is now confident in her nutrition choices and feeling better in her daily life.

Ken came to me with a primary complaint of chronic knee pain. He had seen several specialists who told him it was “just arthritis” and “part of aging”. The anti-inflammatories he was prescribed upset his stomach and he didn’t love that as a long-term solution anyways. He couldn’t play pickleball or travel because he couldn’t walk long distances and this was not the retirement he had pictured for himself. Together, we implemented an anti-inflammatory diet and identified trigger foods that contributed to his joint pain and swelling and added some anti-inflammatory supplements and hydrotherapy techniques to manage his symptoms as well. We introduced a regimen of acupuncture and cupping to keep his joints moving without pain. Ken’s pain is well managed and he is living life to the fullest.

Susan contacted me for support in managing the symptoms of perimenopause. She was struggling with intense hot flashes and night sweats, stubborn midsection weight and mood swings that made her feel crazy. She had heard about the benefits and risks of hormone therapy from social media and some of her friends, but her doctor didn’t give her much helpful information. We thoroughly assessed her eligibility and options for hormone therapy and she felt empowered in the decision she made for herself. We also introduced botanicals, supplements and diet recommendations to manage the long-term health consequences associated with menopause. We continue to adjust her plan as needed to make sure she feels her best for years to come.
