Herbal and Mineral Wellness Consultations 

"I work clinically to provide preventative health care and education using plants, mineral re- balancing and natural therapies that utilize my holistic foundation to support each person's individual needs."

My practice focuses on helping you address physical and emotional imbalances while keeping the intention of helping you to access your most vital self.

I currently offer herbal & mineral wellness consultations that focus on bringing the body, mind, and spirit back into balance. We will work in a collaborative effort, as I help guide you to address emotional, physical, and spiritual imbalances, leading to the restoration of your own innate body intelligence.

My background includes a degree in Integrative Health from National University of Natural Medicine, 10 years plus studying herbalism and a certificate from The Root Cause Protocol led by Morley Robbins.

 

Why is mineral balance important?

Minerals = Life

Every single cell, every organ, every function of our bodies, requires minerals to do the work. Minerals are necessary to help our bodies develop and function. Knowing about different minerals and what they do can help you to make sure you get enough of the minerals that you need.

Minerals are VERY important for the function of the body. There are about 9,000 enzymes and they all work just like the cars we drive. So, if there are 9,000 enzymes there are a lot of minerals, right? No, there are only a handful. The key question is when was the last time you drove the car without a key? Or without putting gas in the car, or changing the oil? While cars and bodies are very different, the analogy is important that our bodies can't function well without adequate minerals. 

The way in which we live our lives, stress, pollutants, etc all impact mineral loss. Learning what minerals we need to produce energy can be very impactful on how we feel daily and our long term healing. 

 

What is the RCP-Root Cause Protocol?

The Root Cause Protocol (RCP) was developed by Morley Robbins, who transformed a career in the mainstream medical industry into a quest to learn the fundamental components of a healthy metabolism. The RCP is the culmination of his many years of research and is revolutionary in its approach to health from a truly holistic perspective, by looking at the whole organism and how all the elements work together, rather than limiting the focus to isolated nutrients or conditions.

The RCP works by restoring balance to the key minerals – magnesium, copper and iron – that must work together in order to optimize energy and increase vitality.

Empowering you to learn how your body works and to receive the tools you need to support yourself and your loved ones back to health.

If you, or someone you love, is suffering from chronic health challenges, then please continue reading…

The scientific, peer-reviewed literature from around the world — though not well known in conventional medical circles — is actually quite clear. All disease is caused by inflammation, better described as “oxidative stress."

And the root cause of inflammation / oxidative stress is “cellular dysfunction” caused by an imbalance of 3 key minerals:

1) Magnesium

2) Copper

3) Iron

This imbalance can be repaired — and you can feel much better — following the steps of the Root Cause Protocol as well as lifestyle, dietary and herbal support.

Restoring balance is a big undertaking, and the goal of the list below and the Handbook is to break it down into small pieces that can be easily integrated into a healthy lifestyle.

To get started and learn more before our session, click here to download the free RCP handbook.

I recommend downloading the RCP handbook to use as you implement the protocol for yourself.

     Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)-

    The beauty of the hair test is that it isn't a definitive test, it's a directional test. The two things we are trying to determine from hair tests are-is the person under stress? And are they able to mobilize energy amidst the stress?
    There are 12 minerals that show up on the test, 8 heavy metals and 8-10 additional minerals. We focus on the first 9 bars.  The electrolytes-Ca, Mg, Na and K -these tell us about the oxidation patter of the individual. Phosphorus shows us if the person is getting an adequate amount of protein. Next four bars are the metals-Cu, Zn, Iron and Manganese. These metals show the health of the liver, an important thing to measure when working with folks under stress.
    FULL MONTHLY BLOOD TEST -
    This complete nutrient panel will ensure you get all the nutrients you need to support optimum health and wellness. Full Monthly Panel contains the following tests for both vitamins & minerals:
    Ceruloplasmin
    Copper
    Ferritin
    Hemoglobin (Hgb)
    Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
    Magnesium, RBC
    QuestAssureD™ 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (D2, D3), LC/MS/MS
    Transferrin
    Vitamin A (Retinol)
    Zinc
      Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients for overall health, although it is frequently deficient in modern diets. The Full Monty Panel tests magnesium levels to ensure you're getting enough of this essential nutrient. Zinc is another vital nutrient often lacking in modern diets, and it's necessary to support a healthy immune system. The Panel also tests for zinc levels, so you can be sure you're getting enough of this essential nutrient.
      Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for supporting optimum health, but it's often deficient in modern diets. The Full Monty Panel also tests for vitamin A levels, so you can be sure you're getting enough of this essential nutrient. Ferritin is a protein that's essential for supporting optimum health, but it's often deficient in modern diets. The Full Monty Panel also tests for ferritin levels, so you can be sure you're getting enough of this essential nutrient.
