Memorable Moments:

”Food just isn’t made the way that it was years ago. Most of the food available out there….is overly processed or full of preservatives, loaded with chemicals. And who wants to be eating that?”

”When we eat better, we feel better.”

”We can’t supplement our way out of a bad diet.”

”There are thousands and thousands of supplements out there, and they’re just not created equal.”

”You will go so much further and you’ll take your child so much further when you’re really working with a qualified professional.”

”Kids are becoming more and more dysregulated….If your child is doing this, it’s their body’s way of telling you they’re overwhelmed and they need help with something. And the first place that I would start looking at is the diet.”

“Food matters.”

“It needs to be a gradual process for it to be effective…Take your time. Give yourself permission to take your time.”

“Our kids can react to gluten in the body for weeks - even months - after eating it.”

”If you can explore things further with functional lab testing, you’re really getting a clearer picture of what’s going on in the body, and it allows you to directly target those healing opportunities.”

”Things can change. This doesn’t have to be your life.”
