Who am I and why should you consult with me?
I am a Graduate of the British Homeopathic Institute in Clinical Nutritition and have over 10 years experience consulting clients worldwide. I have been practicing Clinical Nutrition in Switzerland and in California and since recently in Chicago, Il.. I take a 360 degree picture of a patient, taking into account the emotional and physical health and history. There's always a mind-body connection and a reason we suffer from a certain condition. The soul may need to learn something? And yes, nutrients are much needed for emotional health as well. It's all connected!
My SERVICES
Hair analysis – to assess your overall state of health. This test provides me with information on stress level, sugar tolerance, digestive processes, glandular functions etc. and - yes – emotional health. This test provides me with ‘basis’ information about your health.
Orthomolecular medicine – thorough investigation of a patient’s health, symptamology, blood and urine tests, supplements that are lacking in a bodily system can be supplemented.
I cannot stress this fact enough – taking the wrong supplement can be detrimental. It is important to understand what goes on in your body. For example, taking more calcium for bone health, without knowing if the body properly assimilates calcium, may do more harm than good. If the body cannot process the mineral, calcium gets stored in tissues, which leads to ‘hardening’ of tissues, we call that a ‘calcium shell’. I recommend supplements to heal the body lead to proper calcium absorption again.
Trauma work – as a Swiss-born practitioner, who lived and practiced in many countries (third world countries included), I have had first-hand experience with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), anxiety and insomnia. I was involved in a tragic incident in Sri Lanka and have learned a truly amazing combination of methods to deal with trauma. Many times, a health issue develops some time after a traumatic incident (i.e. divorce, car accident). By us not dealing with the trauma properly, this ‘excessive’ that floats in the body can lead to physical and psychological problems. I use a combination of the ‘somatic experience’ and natural remedies to alleviate the symptoms and heal he body and mind.
I have been personally challenged with PTSD, see my war experience
and ensuing anxiety and treated the condidtion successfully with somatic exercises and proper homeopathic remedies and supplements according to hair analysis indications. Anxiety sits in the body, not the mind. It is important to know that.
What can you expect from a Consultation?
During a consultation, I investigate with you the possible root cause of your dis-ease. Through evaluation of your laboratory results, your body symptamology, stress levels, trauma in your life, unique biochemistry and other assessments, I get a clearer picture of what possibly could have prompted the manifestation of dis-ease. Often, this exploratory process is like solving a complex puzzle, but the results of treating into the cause, and not the symptom may return the body back into a state of good health. In most cases an intitial hair analysis will give more clues of a patient's biochemical challenges.
In a nutshell: The discipline of Human Clinical Nutrition applies principles derived from current biochemical and physiological scientific knowledge for the purpose of promoting optimal health while recognizing biochemical individuality.
We are all unique, not just in appearance and personality, but as well in biochemistry. A Clinical Nutritionist works with your unique biochemistry and treats your unique body type.
The educational protocol may include, among other information, nutrition / lifestyle modification, nutritive supplementation, understanding of physiological/biochemical pathways, and evoking of regenerative processes.
Target supplementation for unique bodily systems
Recently there has been a huge surge of interest in the health aspects of food. Not a day goes by without a stream of advice being printed, such as the many different diets which all claim to be ‘The best diet ever’, or reports on the latest research which contradicts what you had believed to be true only the week before. Much of the information available to the general public is sadly misleading and often inaccurate; trying to make sense of it all can not only become overwhelming, but also potentially harmful. What is fundamental to understand is that no two people are the same metabolically, as the saying goes ‘what is one man’s meat is another man’s poison’, therefore whilst some of these diets may be excellent for some, they may be disastrous for others.
This is why working with me can invaluable. As a trained clinical nutritionist, I am able to identify the best nutritional and orthomolecular medicine program for you, taking into consideration life style, health issues, laboratory results, metabolic body type and goals such as weight loss, skin improvement, fertility, better stress handling, improved skin, digestion, energy levels or sleep -the list is endless.
Take the time to explore your unique biochemistry and stop popping pills that may do you more harm than good.
