    Welcome! I'm glad you found this page! 

I believe that optimal health begins with nourishing your body from the inside out. At DJK Wellness, I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals through personalized nutrition plans tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. We recognize that each individual is biochemically unique, and our approach takes into account factors such as genetics, metabolism, environment, and lifestyle to create personalized nutrition plans.

Approach

I take a comprehensive approach to functional nutrition, guided by the following principles:

1. Personalized Assessments: We begin by conducting thorough assessments of your health history, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and specific health concerns to understand your individual needs and goals.
2. Whole Food Focus: We emphasize the importance of consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods that support optimal health and vitality. Our nutrition plans are centered around fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and herbs/spices.
3. Gut Health Optimization: We recognize the critical role of gut health in overall well-being and incorporate strategies to support a healthy gut microbiome, such as probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and fermented foods.
4. Balancing Macronutrients: We work to ensure a balanced intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to support energy levels, metabolism, hormone regulation, and other physiological functions.
5. Identifying Food Sensitivities: We help identify and address food sensitivities or allergies that may be contributing to inflammation, digestive issues, or other health problems.
6. Stress Management: We provide guidance on stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, adequate sleep, and regular physical activity to support overall health and well-being.
7. Lifestyle Integration: We consider other lifestyle factors such as sleep, exercise, hydration, and mental/emotional well-being that can influence nutritional status and overall health outcomes.
