Functional health and healing through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology

Through functional labs and assessments, we examine the hidden stressors that contribute to bodily dysfunctions. We identify these biochemical stressors and assess your external environment for potential triggers. By shining a light on metabolic and glycemic dysregulation, as well as chronic inflammation through in-depth Functional Health Mentoring, we remove these biochemical and environmental stressors, to nurture an internal environment that naturally fosters wellness and resilience.

Science has shown that people with high emotional intelligence have stronger immune systems. In this vein, we use a post-traumatic growth perspective to tap into the innate wisdom that resides within your body, mind, and spirit. Through transformational coaching, motivational interviewing, and modern-day ritual, we heal deep internal wounds, revealing your inner truth and authenticity. Together, we cultivate a deep sense of self-awareness. By reconnecting to your higher self, you can embrace the highest aspect of who you truly are.

We are in a close, bidirectional, and interconnected relationship with the environment. This relationship can be either, beneficial and supportive, or detrimental to our wellbeing. Together, we tap into the intelligence of nature and rediscover your place in the ecosystem. We reconnect to nature in support of your circadian rhythm, the diversity of your microbiome, and the grounding of your energy system. We go beyond the biochemical and tune into our bidirectional relationship to everything in this creation with our uniquely human ability to connect, communicate, survive and thrive. In this way, you develop a greater capacity for self-knowledge, self-healing, and alignment.

At this stage, we delve deeper into the neural workings of the heart and brain. A dysregulated nervous system can lead to a myriad of dysfunctional responses from anxiety and depression to chronic illness and dis-ease. By toning the vagus nerve and practicing a state of coherence, you will create a cascade of neural and biochemical events that benefit the entire body through physical resilience as well as emotional stability. Coherence is an optimal state in which the mind and emotions are brought into alignment and in sync with the heart’s intuitive guidance, creating health and well-being in all aspects of life.

Your neurology becomes your biology. Limbic system impairment, stress maladaptation, and neurodegenerative disorders are players in all chronic diseases to some degree. The brain is extremely neuroplastic and can be regenerated and healed. Meaning that what and how you think affects not only your mental and emotional health but your bodily and spiritual health as well. Yet, how we think and behave is largely determined by subconscious programming. Through positive psychology and neural rewiring, I show you how to restore your cognitive abilities, reframe personal narratives and regain control of your life.

The human body is made up of trillions of cells that require energy to survive, repair, and respond to environmental stimuli. But they need the right fuel to function. When they can’t find that fuel, cellular toxicity occurs and sets the stage for most chronic health conditions. The good news is your cells have an innate intelligence to heal and strive toward homeostasis. Through customized detox, hormone optimization, therapeutic nutrition, sleep, hydration, and mindset, we will improve cellular metabolism, reduce oxidative stress, and restore optimal cellular energy production (ATP). Optimal energy levels are key to our ability to create a healthy, joyful, and purpose-driven life.

Finally, you can step out of your pain and into your fullest potential as the NEW YOU! With optimal health, you can renew your commitment to happiness, success, and living your purpose, on purpose. Now, you have the resilience to make an impact and the momentum to do so.
