It's no secret that finding the root cause of a problem can help you resolve it. The challenge with this methodology is that life is not that simple, and neither is the human body. This way of thinking can not only take a ridiculous amount of time to uncover, but a large sum of money as well. I understand from experience that all you want is for your life back and to have to wait any longer than necessary doesn't seem right to me. Please allow me to explain why I believe finding and trying to correct a single root cause is a flawed approach.

Just picture for a second that you are sitting front row to one of the most amazing symphonies, which happens to be producing the most beautiful song you have ever heard. Now imagine if the violin began to play a different tune for whatever reason, and the flute hears that and tries to compensate for the out of tune violin and begins to play a different tune as well. If enough instruments try to compensate for the other instruments that are playing out of tune, the entire symphony will be out of tune and the once beautiful song becomes unrecognizable.

​

This is similar to how the various systems in our bodies work such as the Hormone, Immune, Digestion, Detoxification and Nervous systems, H.I.D.D.E.N. for short. All it takes is for one of these systems to begin playing to a different tune due to a physical, mental/emotional, and/or chemical/biochemical stressor, thus initiating a cascade of malfunction between systems.

This way of looking at health is exactly what allowed me to finally heal, while the conventional method kept me running in circles with no answers as to why I was suffering in the way I was. Due to this first hand patient experience and the understanding I gained through completion of the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® certification course, my approach to health follows exactly the process which made the most significant impact on my health. I will never diagnose a client with anything specific because from my above analogy, yes the violin might have started the issue but it has affected all of the other instruments which now need correction as well. So just a simple violin diagnosis will not solve the issue. This is exactly how I work, rather than searching for one exact root cause I will look for a culmination of healing opportunities that can be worked on and positively influenced, so that no bodily system goes ignored.

I address this using a individualized, D.R.E.S.S. (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, Supplementation) for health success® protocol, based off clinical correlation found between current and historical lifestyle, symptoms, and lab result patterns. This method will investigate, test, correlate, educate, and empower you to take back control of your own health, so you can live life on your terms.
