Birdie's Better Life is a place where you can balance your body through nutrition and detoxifying your life. I will teach you how to eat for optimal health and how to detoxify your home by utilizing essential oils to make your own body care and other products for your home.
My philosophy as a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is that the myriad health problems plaguing modern society result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations brought on by poor nutrition. Nutritional Therapy is holistic, evidence-based, comprehensive and personalized approach to health and healing.
Health is built on certain biochemical foundations.
Hydration
Digestion
Blood Sugar
Dietary Fats
Minerals
Nutrient Dense, Properly Prepared, Whole Food Diet
Nutritional Therapy is uniquely based on a foundational holistic approach to nutrition. As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) I use specific tools for assessing the body's nutritional deficiencies using the body's innate intelligence, and teach you how to address those weaknesses through properly prepared, whole foods diet, supplementation and lifestyle changes.
I also complete a Functional Evaluation (FE) in order to make nutritional recommendations to balance body chemistry and achieve optimal wellness. The FE is a series of points on the human body correlated to specific organs or systems in the body which are palpated to identify nutritional deficiencies.
There is no one-size fits all diet for everyone. Each of us is unique with highly individualized nutritional requirements. We are bio-individual. I reconnect people to healing foods and vibrant health. Optimal wellness can be attained by balancing your body's chemistry, therefore reducing or even eliminating dysfunction. As a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) I am focused on the biochemical individuality of each of my clients and recognize that there are no cookie-cutter approaches to diet and wellness. I consider your unique chemical makeup, toxic burdens, lifestyle and eating habits as well as your current physiological functions in order to provide a finely tuned, customized nutritional program designed to help you achieve and maintain lifelong wellness. This comprehensive and individualized approach to nutrition is specific to nutritional therapy only.
