8 prescription meds at 28

I was on the phone with a client, and I asked what meds she takes & why she takes them…. EIGHT. 8 prescription meds at 28 year old!

As she listed them off, I started connecting dots...

As a functional medicine dietitian, I aim to identify *root causes* of illness.

My analogy is always the same:

Imagine you’re a tree…

You walk into your doctor’s office & your doc sees the leaves and branches of your tree.

They’re obvious...can’t miss ‘em.

Your leaves and branches are illnesses your doc can slap a diagnosis on:
👉 anxiety
👉 depression
👉 diarrhea
👉 constipation
👉 insomnia
👉 hypothyroidism
👉 infertility
👉 PCOS

What’s so often missed is evaluating the roots and the soil of your tree.

When the leaves of a tree begin to wilt and brown, do you treat the leaves?

No! You treat the roots! You nourish them with adequate water, sun, and TLC.

In functional med, this looks like addressing these:
👉 gut infections
👉 dysbiosis (gut bacterial imbalance)
👉 nutrition/nutrient insufficiencies
👉 circadian rhythm
👉 detox systems
👉 inflammation
👉 environmental toxins
👉 community/relationships
👉 past trauma
👉 mindset
👉 stress load
👉 movement

It’s impossible for a tree to flourish if it’s got rotten soil and broken roots.

My life’s work is nourishing you from the roots up so you can go from SURVIVING to THRIVING.

I spend HOURS with my clients getting to know them on a deep level. Gathering information & fully understanding the WHOLE picture of their health.

The patient story is so incredibly important, and something so-often lacking in conventional healthcare.

My most favorite part of my work is piecing together the pieces of your puzzle ...connecting those dots.

Because I assure you, friend, everything you’re dealing with is connected on a deeper level.

If you’re ready to ditch the bandaid approach and find true healing, I’d love to be your partner in healing!
