Please know, you are not alone. Low energy is a big problem.

The majority of my clients are struggling with fatigue to some degree. It is hard to make the necessary diet and lifestyle changes while feeling exhausted. It is frustrating to navigate the mounds of information to find a solution. It is depressing to miss fun events because you are too tired to get off the couch.

Tired at Desk

People are not getting the help they need.

Most of my clients feel stuck about what is going on with their bodies. Many have visited their health care provider but continue to feel frustrated as they were not given actionable steps to resolve their health concerns.

Root Causes:

There are many reasons that exhaustion is at epidemic levels.

  • Lack of nutrient density in the Standard American Diet (SAD): This results in nutrient deficiencies which puts stress on all organs and systems that require specific nutrients to function optimally. Processed foods also contribute to toxicity in the body and blood sugar dysregulation.
  • Lack of sleep: In our 24/7 society, people are burning the candle at both ends and not getting restorative sleep. When people are not getting adequate sleep, the system wide repair work that happens at night is not taking place and can negatively affect health over time.
  • Stress levels: In our fast-paced, modern society unmanaged stress is at the root of many chronic health conditions. High stress can dysregulate blood sugar, promote inflammation, and imbalance hormones while keeping one in fight or flight mode.
  • Inflammation: Inflammatory foods can derail your hormonal balance, causing brain fog, sleep issues, and general malaise while negatively affecting all aspects of health. Chronic inflammation is at the root of many health issues and has a variety of root causes.
  • Digestive dysfunction: You could have the best diet in the world, but if your body is not breaking down, absorbing and assimilating nutrients, it is money down the drain. Many of my clients struggle with digestive issues such as IBS and SIBO as well as inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis.
  • Autoimmune disease: Autoimmune conditions are on the rise especially in women and contribute to the epidemic of fatigue and inflammation. There are many root causes for autoimmune conditions, and the best approach is to test, assess, and address as early as possible.
  • Toxicity: Toxins come in many forms including heavy metals, environmental chemicals, mold, and food additives which derail our system creating confusing and unpredictable symptoms. Our liver is a remarkably busy organ and participates in over five hundred biochemical processes. When our liver is overburdened with toxins, it is not able to attend to its many roles in the body.
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction: Mitochondria have multiple functions from generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to energy metabolism and ATP synthesis. Healthy mitochondria are crucial for optimal energy and vitality, and many of the factors listed above can create dysfunction which often results in feeling fatigued.
  • Oxidative stress: Oxidative stress is basically rusting at the cellular level. Think of a slice of apple left out on the counter for a few hours that turns brown. When our body is under stress, it has a hard time keeping up with the production of antioxidants needed to combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Over time, this can manifest as brain fog, fatigue and memory loss.
  • Blood sugar dysregulation: Never before in the history of mankind have we had such an emergency need to lower blood sugar. Not only do processed carbohydrates deplete our body’s reserves of minerals, vitamins and enzymes, but they create a state of blood sugar imbalance that can contribute to hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.

What is Nutritional

Therapy?

Nutritional therapy uses an assessment process to identify imbalances in body chemistry. These imbalances or nutritional deficiencies are corrected through diet, lifestyle changes and targeted nutrients.

Nutritional therapists do not diagnose or treat disease but work to correct imbalances with the goal of gently guiding individuals back on the path to health.

Optimal health is our birthright and nutrition is the root of good health! As we progress down the path of life, however, we often develop symptoms of ill health and feel a loss of vitality. Nutritional therapy can assist you with these health challenges by identifying imbalances to get at the root of your symptoms.

“When I started searching for a nutritionist, I was experiencing digestive reactions to various viral exposures. We were in the midst of the pandemic, and I was in isolation for the most part, and I felt it was a good time to strengthen and heal. Meeting Ellen changed everything. She had a 6-month gut health program that was rigorous and challenging but doable with an endless feeling of support as I worked through it. Ellen was available every step of the way for advice, adjustments, explanations, and encouragement. The results were more energy, better sleep, lowered HbA1c, a better diet, weight loss, and a general practitioner/PCP who was thrilled with the improvement in my diagnostic labs overall. Ellen is a great listener, a solid practitioner, and is thorough and comprehensive in her approach to nutritional health. I am a grateful client!”

“As someone with Celiac, it was amazing to have support and resources as well as tips and tricks to help me on the SCD diet. Ellen also developed a gut healing supplement protocol that resulted in better energy, dramatically reduced digestive issues and improved lab work. Ellen was able to interpret my labs in the context of my overall health. My health has greatly improved over the 8 months that we worked together, and I am happy with the progress we have made.”
