DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

• You haven't changed your diet or exercise routine all that much, but you're still gaining weight.
• Your doctor says all of your blood work is normal, but you still feel like crap and can't lose weight.
• You're exhausted, struggle with heavy, painful, and/or irregular periods, and have zero libido.
• You feel like you're doing everything right, but wonder if your hormones are to blame for a lack of results.
• You suspect you have a hormonal imbalance or metabolic dysfunction that's preventing you from feeling your best.
• You second-guess everything you do and you're confused about how much food and exercise are right for you.

FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Step 1 in our process is to test your minerals, gut health, and hormones.

In order for us to get the total picture and create a unique plan for you and your needs, we must first figure out what exactly is going on in YOUR body and what it needs to regain balance. Once your test results come back, you meet with one of our functional nutritionists to review your test results and discuss a path towards you feeling your best.

Naomi works primarily with women in perimenopause and menopause to help navigate this very confusing time in a woman’s life!

As she headed into her mid-40s, she started feeling sluggish, and tired and noticed that her clothes were fitting tighter and seemingly always cold with frequent migraines becoming the new norm. This wasn’t going to cut it with her busy lifestyle.

After her labs came back normal her doctor told her this was typical for her age, she was fed up! There had to be another way to go through this phase of life without suffering from these symptoms.

Her work as a Certified Health Coach was helping clients, but many of them were also experiencing symptoms of “aging” that weren’t changing with traditional methods of eating healthy and exercising.

She knew there had to be a personalized way to understand what was going on in the body and find symptom relief for women.

Becoming an FDNP gave her access to data-driven functional labs and became a game-changer in understanding where these symptoms were coming from and more importantly, what to do about them!
