I want to have a long health span not just a long lifespan. I want to be as healthy as I can for as long as I can. I want to share what I’ve learned with you to help you be your optimal self.

I remember once mentioning to someone, “I don’t even know what my passion is.” She responded to me with a question, “When you’re in a bookstore killing time, what section do you find yourself in?”

There was no thinking about it. My final (and only) answer: Anatomy & Physiology.

I would spend my free time reading books and articles on the subject and then telling people about what I’d read. The sophistication level in our bodies fascinates me. The amount of intelligence in our cells blows my mind. And suppose we’re not healthy and functioning correctly at that level, over time. In that case, this is what becomes chronic conditions that can eventually lead to disease, cancer, and more.

I have had personal experiences with highly educated medical doctors recommending treatment that didn’t sound or feel right. It’s hard to challenge someone on a subject that they can talk in circles around you, especially when you feel fear and vulnerability.

• I had a loved one ‘experimented’ on with several medications, none of which helped.

• Doctors wanted to do surgery on my daughter before exploring other options.

• Doctors wanted my son to be on antibiotics for the first two years of my life.

Before I go on…

• I am not against pharmaceuticals; I just don’t subscribe to ‘there’s a pill for every ill’.

• I am not against antibiotics; they have saved lives. I am against the gross overuse of them.

• I am not against surgery. It is at times the best option, and that’s fine, but only after discussing all of the options.

I’m old enough to know that quick fixes don’t work. I’m smart enough to know one size doesn’t fit all.

I would love the opportunity to speak with you. Not everyone I talk to will be a good fit. I will not pressure you. I will not judge you. I will listen. Functional Nutrition is an ART. I assess, recommend, and track. We will work together. There is no need to be embarrassed. You know your body better than anyone.

To your health,

Carolyn
