We see patients from all over the country and find phone consultations very convenient. In fact, about 30% of our patients do their consultations via phone. When you first set up your appointment, we will email you an intake form which you can fill out and email back to us. If you are not email savvy, don’t worry, you can always send your filled out form by regular mail or fax. As with an in person consultation, we will set up a full hour for your initial consultation. Everything we talk about in person we can talk about over the phone and any handouts would be emailed to you for your information following our call.

All of our tests are done with kits which you perform in the comfort of your own home because most need to be done at a particular time of day. The appropriate kits will be mailed to you and include everything you need to take the sample along with detailed instructions. Once samples (hair, saliva, urine) are collected, you simply mail them directly to the lab in a prepaid envelope. This makes it easier for all patients and you do not have to physically be at the office to do the tests. If a test requires a blood draw, we can direct you to a lab in your area or set you up with a mobile phlebotomist who can come to your home or office to draw your blood.

If you do not live in the area, a phone consultation can be a great way to get your health on track and you will get all the same benefits as our in office patients. And best of all, you never have to leave the house.

We normally do an initial consultation so that we can get a detailed health history on each patient and recommend the tests that would be the most beneficial for them. Depending on your concerns and goals, the tests that are best for you may be different than for your friend. Furthermore, a big part of the initial consultation focuses on eating habits and food education so that you know which foods are best, how to combine them and time meals properly. This process guarantees the most success and the quickest results with your program.

Unfortunately this is not possible because all test results require a lot of interpretation and explanation. You would not be able to understand the results on your own and you would also not know what would be recommended to fix imbalances without going over the results. It typically takes us a full hour to go through your results as we go line by line explaining exactly what we found and put together a plan of action.

This is very individual and depends on the severity of the deficiency. If there are slight imbalances, it is very possible to increase or decrease certain foods to get things in balance. However if the imbalances are large, it would be nearly impossible to consume the amount of food needed to raise the nutrient level. Furthermore, foods rarely contain just a few nutrients as the vitamins and minerals are there in combination so if you are low in one but have too much of another, its hard to find a food that only has high amounts of the mineral you need and does not contain minerals that you do not need. Consuming more of that food would increase not only the mineral you are missing but the others as well so even though all levels would be higher, the missing mineral would still be lower than the rest and balance will not be regained.

Absolutely not! Our goal is to find your deficiencies and fix them as quickly as we can. This usually requires supplementation for 3-6 months to get your levels in the correct range, but once they are there, you can maintain them with proper diet and a maintenance regimen of a good multi-vitamin if needed.

There is a huge difference in the quality of supplements on the market today. Drug store brands are normally the cheapest, and when it comes to nutritional supplements, unfortunately you get what you pay for. Drug store brands use poor quality raw materials thus creating a subpar product. Furthermore, many of these brands contain fillers, preservatives and even artificial colors which are detrimental to health. Health food store brands are a step up from drug store brands and usually use more natural and better quality raw materials. However because supplements are not regulated by the FDA, there is still no accountability and its hard to tell which are best from the hundreds of brands that exist.

The supplements that we use in our office are professional brands. They use the purest raw materials backed by years of research and manufacture them with the highest technology to preserve and maintain integrity and purity of their ingredients. These brands go against the most stringent guidelines and come with certificates of analysis so we know exactly where the nutrients and herbs are coming from. They are typically much more potent and therefore not available in stores. Furthermore, because these brands are used by healthcare professionals, the manufacturers have a lot more accountability.

Many of our products are also custom-made for you based on your results which enables you to take less pills but get more needed nutrients as they are combined for your convenience.

It is of course your choice on where you get your recommended supplements and we never want you to feel forced to get them through us. We are happy to evaluate any brand you may already have and help you find the best option because quality plays a huge part in the success of your protocol.

You’ll get a personalized roadmap to solving your thyroid mystery (for you to share with your doctor). You will understand your thyroid like never before. I will show you how to identify your thyroid type, show you why it happened and then create a step by step plan including diet, lifestyle, physical activity, personalized supplements and support (for you to share with your doctor). You’ll understand what’s causing your symptoms and you’ll become your own health advocate and be able to understand your blood work results. And you get lifetime access to all materials if you need to hop back in to find something.

You could still have underlying issues. Sometimes your levels might be showing up as normal because not all providers test all of the thyroid markers. Even if this is happening to you, you still might have an underlying thyroid issue.

We have a 7 day money back policy. If you don’t feel that the course and all the information and support is not for you, you can return the program within 7 days of purchase.

Clinical nutrition and a functional approach is about looking at all aspects of your health and balancing your biochemistry. Everything in the body is interconnected and we look at the physical but also the emotional and environmental.

Before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, my providers thought my symptoms were in my head. So when I became a clinical nutritionist I vowed to always make my clients and students feel understood, listened to, and validated. You are not crazy, your symptoms are real and we will get to the bottom of them.

In this course you will learn to identify your thyroid type, understand your blood work and your individual Hashimoto’s triggers. You will have customized protocols for you to share with your doctor so that you know exactly what to do, step by step by step.

I’ve designed this course for anyone who is suffering with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s and struggling to get help. Whether you were just diagnosed and only starting out on your journey or you have been at this for a while and frustrated with conflicting information. This is for you if you are new to this OR if you feel like you have already tried everything.
