For most people, their symptoms are most commonly associated with
one or more food intolerances.
1. Our first recommendation is that you stop eating foods that are found in a bag, box, can, or jar for 30 days. In other words, you can eat a diet that is fresh and high in nutrients when you use foods without additives, preservatives, or artificial colors. If you have already tried this, then we recommend that you test for food intolerances and / or potential allergies with an IgG and IgE test kit.
​
2. We also recommend that you take a high quality multivitamin or supplement without wheat, gluten, cornstarch, or "MALTODEXTRINE," and incorporate 30 minutes of Yoga, Qigong, or walking per day. We have a specific line that we recommend, and it can be obtained online.
​
3. If, after 30 days, you do not experience your desired results, call us to schedule a Functional Health Consultation. There may be underlying conditions that are affecting your digestive health.

How can I get through Menopause without taking medicines
or using hormone replacement therapy?
Menopause is the least understood of biological changes, as each woman experiences different symptoms. We teach women to embrace their changes by evaluating their diets, activity levels, and sexual health.

2. For moodiness or extreme exhaustion, we recommend using specialty supplements and essential oils that can relax the mind and body.
3. We also recommend for women begin a gentle stretching program and incorporate light weight work to maintain pelvic floor health and both muscle strength and flexibility.
