The Approach

There is so much misinformation out there when it comes to eating telling us what we should and shouldn't eat which causes a lot of confusion. These approaches help you create a balanced environment in your body, the perfect platform so it just starts healing itself!! Our bodies are healing machines. They are experts on knowing what to fix and how to fix it. These approaches can work for anyone whether disease has actually manifested itself or not.

There are two ways to get started;

• Looking at food sensitivities. This approach involves the use of a blood test called MRT, which stands for mediator release testing. When someone has a sensitivity to a food and then eats that food their body responds by releasing certain mediators which are involved in causing inflammation. Inflammation can manifest itself in a variety of clinical conditions and symptoms. By taking out the proinflammatory foods we can calm down the inflammation and allow healing to occur for the clinical conditions and symptoms. After a period of time the once proinflammatory foods can be reintroduced and may no longer cause a problem. For a more in depth explanation of food sensitivities and MRT testing please click HERE.
• Overview of the program -  We use the MRT test (a blood test) to identify a list of safe foods to eat for 4 weeks to give your immune system the time and ability to calm down.  In other words, the “safe foods” list becomes the grocery shopping list for 4 weeks. Anything untested is potentially reactive and there are thousands of untested food additives and foods,  so the best way to avoid reactive foods is to avoid anything untested for a period of time, until symptoms improve. Most people experience a significant improvement after 7-10 days. After 4 weeks we begin normalizing the diet by introducing untested foods, but we do it systematically to allow the body to let us know which ones are problematic or not.

The Cost is $399 for the MRT test and $165 for each session. Each session is up to one hour in length.

• Focusing on digestion. This approach does not use any testing, it is a more intuitive approach. It is based on the principle that when you eat something you can't digest properly it causes stress in your body. Now your body has to use its resources to deal with this stress which means it has less resources available to deal with other stresses or imbalances elsewhere. Overtime these imbalances that are not getting dealt with get more and more out of balance and become noticeable as disease. By removing the foods most likely to be causing stress the body can now use its resources to heal itself. After a period of time the once stress causing foods can be reintroduced and may no longer cause a problem.
• Overview of the program - Initially we remove the foods that are hard for you to digest. We use the symptoms you are having to guide the initial choice of foods to remove. Over time as your body heals we add back in foods and normalize your diet. We also use food supplements to accelerate the healing process.

The cost is $165 per hour.

Which approach should I choose? There is no right or wrong answer to this. Both approaches are effective. If you are the type of person that likes the certainty of a test than the MRT testing would be a good choice. Both approaches give you a specific diet plan to follow.

When we are out of balance there is disharmony present which can lead to disease. Imbalances can occur on a physical (in our body), mental, emotional or spiritual level. In fact they usually start on a spiritual level and if not adequately addressed there they move to the mental level then the emotional level and finally the into the physical level. Imbalances on each level need to be addressed in order for true healing to occur. Once it moves into the physical it often gets our attention because it is harder to ignore! There are several approaches to dealing with things in the body on the physical level. Lots of times allopathic medicine goes about it by masking symptoms or putting a "band-aid" on things. A holistic approach goes about it by healing the root cause. Our bodies are extremely intelligent healing machines. Our job is to give them what they need to heal and they know how to do the rest. We give our bodies what they need through our diet and food supplements.

I also use herbs and energetic tools & techniques to give you a more holistic, integrative approach.

Remember.....

• In our modern day society our bodies are constantly bombarded by toxic chemicals. Even if disease has not yet manifested in your body the overwhelming potential is there because of the massive amount of stresses we are exposed to on a daily basis. Strengthening our foundation of health is our best defense.
• Our bodies are healing machines let me help you optimize yours to prevent disease.
• Laugh & Love a lot..........they are very healing
• Get healthy instead of just getting old
• All your answers are inside of you the question is are you listening
