Health Professionals near Savage, MN

My intent is to help people achieve optimal wellness in all areas of their life. I like working with all patients with a variety of issues. I have years of functional medicine experience and have seen the dramatic effect of treating patients for nutritional deficiency. Rather than merely treating symptoms, as a functional medicine practitioner I aim to understand the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body that contribute to disease. By addressing these root causes, functional medicine seeks to restore balance and promote optimal health.

Building a relationship with food and your body can feel overwhelming. With such a wide variety of sources and information, it can be difficult to determine who to trust. Nutrition is not "one-size-fits-all." It is my aim as a clinician to listen, learn, and provide individualized recommendations to support your goals.

After more than 30 years in the field, my passion for nutrition continues. Seeing a client find relief from pain and exhaustion is a joy! Plus, I can relate to their desperation to get their life back. In 2005 I put my knowledge of nutrition to the test when, two weeks after invasive back surgery I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly afterwards I discovered multiple food allergies. Once those were removed I stopped three prescription medications and feel better than I had in years. I absolutely love bringing that relief to clients!

Common problems I can help: neck and back pains, headaches, carpal tunnel, sciatica, arthritis, digestive problems, infections, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and others.

By utilizing muscle testing methods I am able to pin point the area of imbalance and correct it with the necessary procedure.
