I’m going to start by telling you about my typical client. The type of person who typically comes to see me is incredibly educated, has done a lot of research, and usually is already eating an organic, whole foods diet, and living a clean lifestyle.
So today I visited with good friends that embody my typical client, but wanted to talk to me about vaccinations for their beautiful baby girl.
As a nutritionist specializing in gut health, I teach people how to eat to nourish their microbiomes, and how to eat to restore the intestinal barrier. And because I’m a nutritionist, I use food and supplements as the primary tools to achieve gut health. My goal is to give the body the tools it needs to fix itself, but sometimes a different kind of tool is required in addition to what I can offer. This tool comes in the form of structural approaches that involve manual therapists or movement therapies.
You are likely aware of organ donation, and may have even signed up on a registry, or if you are like me, and live in Alberta, you may have checked off the organ donor boxes on the back of your provincial health care card.

Did your mom ever put a plate of liver in front of you as a kid and make you eat it? A lot of people share this experience with me, and then go on to say that they were traumatized by the experience. Then there is a small handful of people, like myself, who love liver. It is a treat for me to be able to prepare it for myself, because the rest of my family doesn't like it. As usual, mom knows best.
Chances are you know someone with a child who has been diagnosed with some sort of brain disorder, or you may be parenting one or more children with a diagnosis that falls into the spectrum of brain or psychological disorders. Supporting these children through diet is an often overlooked method of reducing symptoms, but it is one that is gaining popularity as people see the drastic changes it can produce.
