Nutrition Genome DNA Health Test
This service provides you with an opportunity to experience the most advanced nutrigenomic test available worldwide, covering 100 clinically relevant genes for a “whole body” analysis which can remove the guesswork by focusing on a whole body approach to thriving health.
The Nutrition Genome Report is a comprehensive whole-body genetic health analysis featuring 27 health reports including Vitamin Requirements, Heavy Metal and pesticide Sensitivity, Macronutrient Metabolism, Toxin Sensitivity, Bacteria, Yeast and parasite Sensitivity, DNA Repair, Hormones and fertility, Sleep Optimization, Meal Timing, Stress Management, Methylation, Cardiovascular Health, Mental Health including Anxiety, Addiction, Brain Repair & OCD, Athletic Performance, and a Personalized Grocery List.
We’ll help you remove the guesswork by showing how your unique genetic makeup affects how you metabolize, transport, and absorb critical compounds and also how you detoxify various chemicals and carcinogens. Most importantly, we provide you with an action plan to change the ways that your genes express themselves through modifications to your diet, lifestyle, and environment to bring your body into balance and thriving health.
The Nutrition Genome DNA Report can show where your vitamin and mineral requirements may be higher, which foods, drinks, drugs, and toxins you may be most sensitive to, and how this applies to your family history and current blood work. This allows you to get a customized food list and in-depth research into health issues’ root causes based on your genetic and biochemical makeup. We can then look at epigenetics, informing you of what modifications to make in terms of your diet, lifestyle, and environment to change the expression of your genes, building a healthier you from the inside.
Low Carb/Keto Nutrition Consultation
The liver can produce ketones from fat, which then serves as a fuel source throughout the body, especially for the brain. When the body produces ketones, it enters a metabolic state called ketosis which can provide many health & performance benefits.
Weight Management
The reason why low carb diets seem to be superior for weight loss really comes down to appetite. People can adhere to this diet because they are not hungry. There are consistently beneficial effects on appetite control hormones.

Keto for Lipedema
Lipedema is a common yet misdiagnosed adipose tissue or fat disorder, often mistaken with obesity. Currently, it is estimated that lipedema impacts approximately 11% of women, occurring only rarely in men with hormonal dysfunction, and can have a profoundly negative impact on quality of life.
Lipedema is a condition that causes excess fat to accumulate in the lower part of the body. It most often involves the buttocks, thighs and calves. The upper arms can also be affected. The condition does not affect the hands or feet. Lipedema is sometimes confused with lymphedema, but these are different conditions. However, lipedema can lead to lymphedema. The exact cause of lipedema is unknown. But the condition runs in families and may be inherited. The condition occurs almost exclusively in women, and usually starts or gets worse at the time of puberty, pregnancy or menopause. Because of this, there is likely a connection to hormones. Lipedema is not caused by obesity but more than half of patients with this condition are overweight or obese.
Symptoms of lipedema include pain, swelling, and weight gain that is resistant to diet and exercise. There is fat build-up in buttocks, thighs, calves, and sometimes the upper arms. Lipedema progresses and, without intervention, worsens over time. As the condition gets worse, lipedema can affect the ability to walk. Many patients with lipedema have emotional symptoms, such as being embarrassed, anxious and depressed as the lower part of their body grows larger. Over time, as more fat accumulates, it can block the lymphatic pathway. This causes a build-up of fluid called lymph. The condition is known as secondary lymphedema or lipo-lymphedema.
The painful and life-changing symptoms of lipedema have long been thought to be resistant to lifestyle interventions such as diet and exercise. However, there are solutions. According to the latest research, the keto lifestyle can reduce weight and dramatically decrease pain, inflammation, and bloating, which can improve the quality of life and prevent the natural progress of disease which may cause lymphatic dysfunction and mobility issues.
Intermittent Fasting
When you are sick, you naturally stop eating. In fact, your body naturally tells you to stop eating. There is some healing power in that. Fasting is natural. There is a time to eat and not to eat. If you’ve heard of IF but have never fully understood its concept, it’s merely an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. There’s plenty of flexibility when it comes to practicing IF. You are allowed to fast for as long or as short as you like. But obviously, for health reasons, longer fasts may require health supervision.
Time-restricted eating can help you lose and keep the weight off. Intermittent fasting regulates the levels of insulin in your body; with lower amounts of the hormone in your body, the breakdown of your body fat is enhanced. The current scientific literature supports Dr. Jason Fung’s hypothesis that sustained weight loss can be achieved through the mechanism of lowered insulin levels. And undoubtedly, it seems that intermittent fasting is an effective way to achieve this effect. Furthermore, fasting is also associated with a wide array of health benefits, in addition to weight loss such as blood sugar control, heart health, and possible lifespan extension. Ultimately, intermittent fasting is a powerful tool you can use to stimulate your weight loss and improve your health.
Food Addiction & Emotional Eating
This service provides tools and understanding of how to overcome any kind of food addiction, specifically sugar & carbohydrate addiction. Sugar and carbohydrate addiction is well established in both animals and humans. The psychology of sugar addiction is frighteningly similar to the behaviour exhibited in cases of substance-use disorders.
Addiction is believing the lies your appetite is selling. Eating for satisfaction is not the same as eating for satiation. The difference is very complex, especially when you start exploring the idea of giving up sugar & carbohydrates.

Metabolic Approach To Cancer
Whether you aim to prevent cancer, have recently been diagnosed with it, or are in remission, it is essential to assess the elements that could or did contribute to its development. By identifying and prioritizing the potential drivers of the cancer process, you gain the ability to control it. Remember, you are in the driver’s seat of your health care plan.
It is critical to understand that cancer is about the way our bodies and our minds interact with the environment. The majority of cancers seen today are modern, man-made diseases, and a metabolic approach can prevent and halt the cancer process. Most common cancers take months, sometimes years to develop into a detectable mass. Even healthy adults produce new cancerous cells every day, and only one in a thousand people is truly cancer-free. It seems scary to think about it that way, but all of us have cancer cells in our bodies, no matter how healthy we are. Cancer doesn’t just show up one day, it doesn’t just “happen” to you overnight, and it is not bad luck. You can think about it as a weed in the garden notifying the gardener about minerals or deficiencies in the soil, cancer is a messenger telling you that some elements within you (physical, emotional, or spiritual) are not in harmony.
The metabolic approach to cancer is a naturopathic nutrition program developed by Dr Nasha Winters that utilizes the medicinal power of traditional foods, therapeutic diets, and a nontoxic lifestyle approach to cancer. Dr Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO is a world-leading expert in integrative oncology, metabolic cancer therapies, and keto for cancer, and the author of Metabolic Approach to Cancer. The core of the metabolic approach is dedicated to the science of using therapeutic nutrition to positively impact metabolism, creating an inhospitable environment for cancer while simultaneously removing dietary and lifestyle factors that provoke it.
The term “terrain” refers to a person’s internal and external biological ecosystems which interact with one another. The Terrain Ten™ are ten factors that affect the health of our biological terrain. When these factors are optimal and in harmony with each other, our bodies are thriving and resistant to chronic disease.
The Terrain Ten™ areas of focus include the following:
- Genetics, epigenetics, and nutrigenomic modifications
- Blood sugar balance
- Toxic burden management
- Repopulating and balancing the microbiome
- Immune system maximization
- Modulating inflammation and oxidative stress
- Enhancing blood circulation while inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis
- Establishing hormone balance
- Recalibrating stress levels and biorhythms
- Enhancing mental and emotional well-being
The metabolic approach can help you understand and identify where your terrain elements may be out of balance, where to focus first, and what the next steps are. Think of it as your empowerment plan. This is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure your cancer, but rather simply to heighten your awareness and create those ‘aha” moments. The goal is to draw your attention to which areas of your terrain or life may need support and to recognize which of these you have control over. Starting to address any one of these ten areas will significantly enhance your body’s ability not only to respond to conventional therapies and reduce side effects from the treatments but also to make you stronger and better able to prevent cancer from occurring in the first place. Metabolic health is when all the processes in each of our body’s systems (The Terrain Ten™) are optimal and working together in harmony. The Metabolic Approach to Cancer looks at a person’s terrain or entire ecosystem to give clues as to what most needs attention in your body to heal. This is not just about getting rid of the lump or bump but making the terrain as healthy as possible so cancer cannot thrive.
