Optimal Nutrition

Eating right is not easy, especially when smell, color, texture, foods touching each other, and taste can immediately turn a beautiful meal into an emotional standoff. By addressing the underlying brain patterns, we work to gradually improve nutrition one bite at a time.

When appropriate we use specialized testing to find these gaps where key nutrients are needed for growth and balance. We create a personalized plan that supports healthy brain and body function through targeted nutrition and supplementation.

Functional Testing Helps Us Find the Root Causes of Neurological Imbalance

There are many reasons why the brain may not be working at its best. Our goal is to find and address the underlying factors that may be affecting function and development. Some people may have food sensitivities that create hidden inflammation in the body.

Others may have blood sugar imbalances or metabolic issues that limit the brain’s energy supply. Through functional testing, we look for these deeper causes to create a plan that supports lasting improvement.

Common Functional Tests Include:

  • Basic Blood Work

  • Food Sensitivity Testing

  • Gastrointestinal Testing

  • Hormonal Testing

  • Organic Acids Test

  • Amino Acids Test

  • Oxidative Stress Markers

  • Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acid Markers

  • Environmental Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing

  • DNA Methylation Evaluation

After working with Dr. Karen for about a month, we left her office and for the first time my daughter asked to go to a restaurant she had never gone to before, and she ate all her food - something that doesn’t happen. Additionally she asked to go shopping - and it was a good experience!
