I am a person that strives for more than HEALTH! I want OPTIMAL HEALTH. There is a difference! Because of that, I work with Doctors and practitioners that Specialize in Functional Medicine.If you want to know the difference between Western Medicine and Functional Medicine, you can resource that information on the web.

Along with my own studies and knowledge, as well as working with a Nurse Practitioner that specializes in Functional Medicine, I have a fruitful Vitamin and supplement regime that works for me. My Doctor or Nurse Practitioner orders a blood panel test, yearly. Along with that, I may have urine and saliva tests. You never know, a stool test could be ordered. ewww Those test results, along with how I am feeling overall, hormones, etc. …. we devise a program.

Although I do make Vitamin and supplement recommendations when I am Health Coaching, I am not a medical doctor. If you are on prescription medications, or have any ailments of any sort, I strongly encourage you to work with you Doctor of Functional Medicine prior to starting a rigid routine, such as mine. One persons regime that works for them, may not be what will work for you. We all have different deficiencies.

If you would like more in-depth benefits and usage of a supplement, I encourage you to search it on the web. An example would be, “Benefits of Vitamin K2 – Functional Medicine”. The key is to find a non-bias, non-marketing article. Do not read an article that is an advertisement. You want to have clear facts about what you are searching.

I am going to share the vitamins and supplements that I take, and the dosage. I will indicate the order, and time of the day that I take them, as well. Bear in mind, this is not set in stone. The times indicated are a rough idea. For example, 1 to 2 days per week, I may sleep in an hour to two. In that case, everything starts at that time (upon awakening). I take all vitamins with water, only … unless I indicate other. I am not going to give all the benefits of everything I talk about. If something interests you, I encourage you to search it on the web. An example would be, “Benefits of Vitamin K2 – Functional Medicine”. The key is to find a non-bias, non-marketing article. Do not read an article that is an advertisement. You want to have clear facts about what you are searching, and potentially going to take.

Beach season is right around the corner, and there is no better time to get healthy! The program is available for people to sign up anytime after May 1^st and can be run at any time. The program will always start the Monday after signing up so if a person signs up on a Friday, the program will start the Monday following.

Today, 100 million people are currently on some type of diet to lose weight (that’s 1 in 3 people). We are spending over $70 billion dollars a year on weight loss related products and services! The craziest stat of all is that the weight loss industry has a failure rate of over 90%. Which means, people may be losing weight, but they are not keeping it off.

This is one of the big reasons I put together this program—to teach people how to live a lifestyle that is sustainable yet gets you results.

The beauty of this program is its simplicity. No more crazy, elaborate, and unpleasant dieting. You will learn what good food is, how to prepare it, and, most importantly, how to enjoy the experience.

You can learn more about the program at the below link. Price is $129 and includes a cookbook, two- week meal plan, 8 weeks of modules, 8 webinar trainings, and so much more!
