Analyze the food, activity and symptom journal, make individualized recommendations and a plan and suggest specific types of testing if there is a string bio-chemical, food sensitivity or hormonal componen.

Weight can be affected by “hidden triggers” such as unresolved anger, abuse issues, old beliefs, and lack of feeling of safety. Fad diets are far from the answer.

By dealing with physical, emotional, mental and spiritual causes of weight, and creating a sustainable way of healthy eating for each person, weight issues can be resolved.
