Today, I want to discuss why our DRESS approach is so important.

DIET: You’ve heard, “you are what you eat” or if you know me at all, you’ve heard “Food is Medicine!” It’s true. There’s no bad food, but not all food is good for every person. We all have very individual bodies with different nutritional needs. FDN aims to get you eating properly for your metabolic and individual needs.

REST: We all know that sleeping well is important, but many of us are still struggling to get enough sleep. We will work very specifically on improving the quality of your sleep. It’s that important to your well-being.

EXERCISE: We all need to move. Together, we will design an exercise program that is appealing, and appropriate to your level of physical ability.

STRESS REDUCTION: Stress ranges from emotional upheavals to toxins in our external environments to internal stresses that we may or may not be able to control. The bottom line is that we are facing unprecedented amounts of stress on our bodies. Reducing stress will be an ongoing part of our work together.

SUPPLEMENTATION: Why do we need supplements? Even if you are eating organic and whole foods, you are not getting the nutrients you need in your food. Our soils are depleted, creating the need for adding in high quality supplements. Supplements can also fill vital voids specific to your needs, and can help heal damage to your cells. Supplements alone will not heal you. They are one part of your wellness plan.
