Would you expect to learn a foreign language in one and a half hours? Probably not, right? Learning the subtleties of proper nutrition and healthful eating takes time as well. In my twenty plus years of practice, I have come to realize that one session with a new client feels incomplete. You receive a great deal of information in our first visit, and I want to ensure that you feel comfortable with what you have learned, and have time to "digest" the material.

My most successful clients are those who commit to the change process and follow up. For this reason, I encourage my "New Client Consultation" to include two sessions. In the initial visit, we will create the optimal plan for you based on your current state of health and goals. We'll also agree upon concrete steps toward putting your new lifestyle plan into motion. We schedule the second session to occur 2-3 weeks later in order to assess your progress, review any labs you have done, tweak your plan if needed and further address issues beyond what we covered in our first meeting.

Testimonial:
"It is amazing how good it feels to eat right. I'm taking pleasure in the simple things. My favorite recipe is egg whites scrambled with turkey jerky [tastes like bacon] and fresh rosemary. Delish! Thanks for what you do; how you do it; and more importantly, who you are. I'm so lucky to have you in my life." - Aleen B.

Functional testing is offered for current clients who want to look deeper into their health and prevention. These tests do NOT replace seeing a physician and having routine medical testing done. Functional testing augments conventional testing to help support your optimal wellness and longevity. Some Functional Testing that Karen uses include:

Ideal for clients who have chronic digestive disorders such as reflux, diarrhea, constipation, gas and bloating. It will provide you with specific recommendations based on your unique physiology.

Perfect for clients who want more objective information about their health through nutritional assessment of their blood chemistry. Specific supplement recommendations and meal planning will accompany this 4-6 page written report.

Designed for clients who feel that cortisol and chronic stress may be reaping havoc with their weight loss and energy level throughout the day. Cortisol is the stress response hormone that can impact not only our emotional well-being, but also has a direct impact on increasing our tendency to pack on the pounds easily. Imbalanced cortisol levels have also been observed in individuals with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and cancer. None of us can eliminate all of the stressors in our lives, but how our bodies manage the stress is what is most important. How many of you go on vacation and lose weight even though you are not watching your food portions strictly? Relaxing and reducing stress will help to keep cortisol levels balanced. One sign that cortisol may be an issue for you is if you carry most of your excess weight around your mid-section. This test will show us your specific cortisol levels throughout the day. If they are out of balance, we can then address this by proper supplementation and mind body techniques.

Do you often feeling gassy and bloated after eating? Have you been plagued with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome manifesting as chronic diarrhea or constipation? How about indigestion? All of these can be potential symptoms of food sensitivities. Food sensitivities are quite different than food allergies and can go largely undiagnosed for most individuals. Where as food allergies cause an immediate immune response when offending foods are consumed, food sensitivities cause a much more subtle, delayed reaction in the body that is harder to pin point. You want to consider food sensitivity testing if you have any of the above mentioned symptoms. Additionally, other symptoms which may be resolved through food sensitivity testing include: weight gain, headaches, skin disorders, and mood issues.
