My Story
I just wanted to know what I should fix for dinner! Really. The more I researched nutrition on my own, the more confused I became. As a physical education major and personal trainer, I thought I understood the basics. I was wrong!
After enrolling in both the Nutritional Therapy Association’s practitioner program and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Health Coaching program I could finally say… Eureka! I found it!
A framework for nutritional truth that not only made sense, but it also confirmed my faith!! I lost 33+lbs without effort, sleep improved, moods and energy stabilized, digestive discomfort, allergies and Hashimotos symptoms began to slowly disappear.
But the real transformation was my new perspective of who God is and His design for my wholeness.
Core Values
Health is a gift to us and a primary STEWARDSHIP
You are UNIQUE. Your program should be too.
True nutrition always aligns with God’s DESIGN
Food should never separate us from people we LOVE
GRATEFULNESS should always be on the menu!!
Faith Based Difference
We believe our health is a stewardship. A God-given gift to be used for good, largely influenced by our choices, with the responsibility to be maintained to the best of our ability.
Taking care of our whole person health is an expression of gratefulness to our Creator and our desire to fulfill His purposes for our lives.
At times our ability, knowledge or resources are limited, and we need extra guidance. Our modern world and cultural demands often work against us, making it more difficult to live healthy lives.
God has outlined an intentional progression for nutritional instruction in Scripture that forms a powerful framework for how God has designed our bodies! We believe living by God's design is mastery freedom!
The D.R.E.S.S. Coaching Program walks clients through this Scripture framework as you move through the Phases and customizes this framework to you!
Faith-based isn't passive; its active. Focused. Intentional. Building our lives around God's purposes and aligning our perspective with His requires clearly understanding Him. It's NOT about self-actualization, enlightenment or improvement. It's always about God "enlightenment" that brings freedom physically and spiritually.
Understanding the message of food in the Bible holistically from Genesis to Revelation and how to live in accordance to that is what our faith-based difference is all about!
Whole person, grace-filled and truth-focused coaching helps clients uncover the physical, psychological, and spiritual stressors that are blocking their health and weight mastery.
Functional Difference
The functional (metabolic) approach respects the amazing design and innate intelligence of the body to function optimally when given the tools and support to do so.
Functional medicine asks "why" going beyond the calories in / calories out equation to discover the root cause of metabolic health related weight loss resistance.
...even when we are doing "ALL THE THINGS"!!
The functional approach understands that excess body fat is not a condition or pathology. Body fat excess (the visceral, unhealthy type) is a protective, adaptive response - a result; not a root. It's a symptom of the problem; not the problem itself.
Long term, sustainable results - MASTERY - happens when we address the underlying metabolic priorities!
Test, don't guess is our motto! It's not about being "in range". It's about restoring optimal function by discovering your D.R.E.S.S. strategies for the 3 key metabolic health priorities:
- Cellular Energy & Metabolism
- Detox & Gut Health
- Hormone Balance
Our all-in-one comprehensive metabolic lab test - NutriStat is different than testing you will find through a primary care or specialist office. This test not only looks at direct measurements, but more importantly root cause function.
As part of our functional approach, we combine both subjective symptom assessments and objective lab testing to personalize client D.R.E.S.S. protocols. Partnered with Real Health Medical, our Nurse Practitioner reviews each NutriStat to ensure our client's success!
Basic Statement of Faith:
The Scriptures:
We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). In faith we hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The reliability of the Scriptures is based on the following evidences: archealogical, prophetical, national, historical, logical, natural and supernatural. These evidences work together. In isolation they can be fallible and subject to misinterpretation, but if viewed holistically they create an overwhelming body of evidence for believing the Bible is true.
The Godhead:
We believe in the one triune God: who is personal, spirit, and sovereign; perfect, infinite, and eternal in His being, holiness and love, wisdom and power; absolutely separate and above the world as its creator, yet everywhere present in the world as the Upholder of all things; self-existent and self-revealing in three distinct Persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, each having a distinct ministry in God’s relation to His creation and people.
The Eternal Purposes of God:
We believe His purposes are progressively revealed from "In the beginning" to "Even so, come, Lord Jesus". God has progressively revealed Himself in three "Words". His Natural Word - creation spoken into existence ("The heavens declare the glory of God"). His Written Word - the Scriptures preserved ("The Word of God is living and powerful"). His Living Word - the Person of Jesus - ("In these last days spoken to us by His Son.") "Faith comes by hearing. And hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17.
