 We are hearing so much in the news lately about diet and nutrition. Eat this, don’t eat that. Every day there is a new “super” food or a new book about health, diet or nutrition. Are you left wondering what to feed yourself and your family? I don’t blame you!

Quite often I am asked by my clients how I got into doing what I do, which is primarily sensitivity testing and BIE (energy re-balancing). The short answer is that when I graduated from nutrition school with all the latest information about nutrients, foods, diets and health, I was shocked to realize how biochemically unique each individual is. I quickly found clients that could not eat “healthy” foods such as protein or fruits. These healthy foods literally made them sick. You may think that sounds strange – I certainly did at the time. I quickly realized that giving someone a perfect by-the-book “diet” for their particular situation was useless unless I could find a way to figure out what actually made their body strong and what made their body weak. At the time, I was blessed to spend time learning from a fellow nutritionist who had developed a way to easily test for sensitivities, along with a way to energetically re-balance (using BIE) what may be out of balance in (or being rejected by) the body.

Over the years, I have worked with thousands of clients – many of them children – who could not eat simple healthy foods without a side effect such as a mood or behavior change, ear issue, stomach ache, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disturbance, fatigue or skin condition. My youngest client was a 4-week-old baby severely reacting to the foods his mom was eating and passing undigested through her breast milk (due to his mom’s food sensitivities). I have never seen a person who does not have at least one food sensitivity. We all have them thanks to the toxic environment we live in. When I say sensitivity, I am not referring to a life-threatening allergy. Allergies are something that must be diagnosed by a medical allergist.

My goal when you come to my office is to empower you to live as healthy as possible. This means that I will teach you to make healthy lifestyle changes that will include good whole foods suitable for your (or your child’s) own bio-chemical uniqueness. I do not hand out diets. Diets are restrictive and temporary. Knowledge is power and lifestyle changes are permanent.

Sensitivity testing and the energy re-balancing that can be done with BIE extends far beyond foods.
