The Journey of Great Health

There are many spokes in the wheel of good health, and many things to consider. There are multiple levels of well-being - Spiritual, emotional, mental, and not least of which, the physical.

Likewise, there are many paths one can take in the world of nutrition. Sometimes, it's the path less taken that leads to extraordinary results.

In nutrition alone, there is food quality, macros, superfoods, fad diets, and more. It can be difficult to pin down the central organizing factor to focus on above all else.

And yet, Minerals, the spark plugs of life, are the backdrop for many of the complex processes your body runs every single day. And a secret that most people do not know about these minerals, is that there is a system for them. Every minerals effects every other mineral, as well as the system as a whole.

In the 80's, Dr. Eck and Dr. Watts discovered mineral balancing......

Like my teachers before me, who have worked directly with Dr. Eck and Dr. Watts, I hope to leave something new for others in the still not well known enough space of mineral balancing.

I'm creating ultra pure minerals formulas for my clients, as well as using more food-based additions wherever possible (food based vitamin C instead of ascorbic acid, and more.

I'm driving further towards the cutting edge in my nutritional experiments, willing to discard it all for a better alternative. Mineral Balancing has stuck with me as a primary critical factor in my own nutrition and what I share with others, and I've yet to find a replacement for it.

We all need minerals - the soil is depleted, we're surrounded by toxic chemicals and heavy metals, and modern stress is at an all time high. Yet, giving the minerals in isolation, pieceing supplements together with haphazard guesswork, or taking a generic multivitamin found on supermarket shelves that is primarily petroleum based synthetics isn't going to yield great health.

You need a great foundation in the best foods you can find, and targeted supplements specifically designed for your unique chemistry.

How I Work with my Clients

In working with my clients, the first step in this process is a correctly administered HTMA, or Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. This is obtained by taking small samples of hair from multiple areas of the scalp (I will send you specific instructions on taking the sample). We will then mail your sample into the lab. I have agreements with the top two labs in the country for mineral testing.

I will also have you fill out an intake form to understand what your current diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies are - what's working, and where you could use assistance.

We will usually get your lab test results back within 2-3 weeks, at which time I'll put together an analysis of your patterns and we'll have our initial consultation.

What's neat is that many conclusions can be drawn from the mineral patterns as to not only which minerals are most useful to you, but also which vitamins will provide balance, and which you'll want to avoid. A supplement plan will be offered for your custom mineral blend, custom fat soluble vitamin blend (A, D, E and K) as well as supporting vitamins (B complex, Vitamin C, etc.)

A few thoughts you may find interesting in this process as to why a custom blend is most helpful. Minerals and their supporting nutrients actually form a complex system in the body, whereby an excess or deficiency of even one mineral effects every other mineral as well as the system as a whole, and either helps or hinders energy production and detoxification. This is why supplementing by guess work, or using generic multi-vitamins can be less fruitful or even counterproductive. And a note on Hair testing specifically - The hair is an excellent way to assess mineral status, and will tend to show imbalances much sooner than the blood. The body will tend to compensate to regulate the blood as long as it can, as the blood is so essential to the body's functioning. This is not so with the hair, and so testing the hair can provide signs of imbalance sooner.

My pricing is $225 for the initial test, analysis and consultation and $180 for all retests. Retests are encouraged about every 6 months, as the balance of the body does change over time as one progresses. With this process we can actually unwind the patterns of stress that are held in the body, one on top of another. As you progress different patterns reveal themselves, and support can be provided at each deeper level.

I look forward to walking with you in your journey to greater Health!
