Did you know that 50% of all heart attack victims have normal cholesterol? A standard lipid panel is actually not very useful in identifying your true heart attack risk. If we want to look into what makes one person with normal cholesterol have a heart attack and another person with horrible cholesterol live to 100, we need to look at cholesterol particle testing. 

Particle testing looks at the most damaging (oxidized or damaged) types of LDL particles in your blood. It also looks at the types of protective HDL particles to evaluate overall risk. CardioMetabolic testing panels used at Healthy by Nature Family Wellness Clinic also assess for  cardiac genetic markers, clot risk & inflammatory makers for a holistic approach to knowing your true cardiac risk. 

I can help you manage high cholesterol and cardiac risk factors by working with you on diet, stress management, improving insulin sensitivity, knowing how to mitigate genetic risk and nutritional supplements that can be used in place of cholesterol-lowering drugs. 

The number #1 desire of most of my clients, male and female, is weight loss. I have seen over and over clients who are exercising regularly, making healthy food choices, counting calories or putting themselves on restrictive diets only to have ZERO pounds lost.  

What is holding the body back from liberating the extra pounds? Oftentimes, we discover a hormonal issue like polycystic ovarian syndrome, low male testosterone, an under-achieving thyroid or high cortisol (often due to unknown food allergies). All of these conditions signal the body to store energy (aka fat). At the same time, the body is losing muscle and lean body mass further reducing metabolism.  

I will work with you to do the appropriate testing to get to the root cause of your weight loss resistance and find the right treatment. I will work with you on healthy diets that help control glucose, promote liver detoxification and decrease hunger. When all else fails, injectible peptide therapies that natural promote your body's production of human growth hormone (HGH) can be the missing piece to bust through that plateau. 

 The digestive tract is the gatekeeper of the human body; it is responsible for pulling in the good stuff like vitamins, minerals, amino & fatty acids but also responsible for keeping out the bad guys like e. coli 0157 and rotavirus. 

Chronic digestive issues cause chronic inflammation that tears down the body leaving you at risk for inflammatory conditions like heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune conditions. Treating the root cause of digestive issues will prevent a lot of misery years down the road. 

We work to identify the root cause of your symptoms such as food sensitivities, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, low flora, chronic digestive tract infections and inflammatory conditions that give you symptoms of gas, bloating, abdominal pain, GERD, IBS & nausea. 

I also work with clients who have IBD such as ulcerative colitis & Crohn's disease to help identify food triggers, reduce inflammation and correct nutritional deficiencies resulting from malabsorption.
