Oliver Wellness
Are you looking for a root cause practitioner who will look at your symptoms, identify what is preventing you from being at ease in your body, and help you build a plan that addresses your unique needs?
At Oliver Wellness, we don’t quick-fix symptoms. We search for the underlying drivers of hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, seasonal allergies, eczema, acne, anxiety, depression, infertility and autoimmunity. Working together, we’ll dig for the root causes of your dysfunction using a food and symptom tracker, nutritional assessment and functional labs.
Women often suffer a wide range of symptoms that feel random and unassociated. However, these trace back to the same few root causes – gut issues, blood sugar imbalance, poor diet, toxicity, and lifestyle stressors. Addressing these foundations supports every cell, organ and system in the body, optimizing your body’s innate ability to heal.
Are you ready to build your foundations rather than chase symptoms?
Are you done with random supplements,
faddish diets, and expensive bio-hacks?
Do you need more bio-individual support than the medical system is offering you?
What we Offer
You know your body isn’t working well but doctors tell you things are “normal.” Or they offer drugs with a long list of side effects to eliminate a symptom, but you want to find out why that symptom is there in the first place. Pre-disease levels of dysfunction are the new norm for Americans. Sadly, we often have to go outside the standard healthcare system to get answers. You’re here because you’re trying to learn what your body is telling you. You want someone to take your pain points seriously and guide you through the barrage of conflicting health advice. You want bio-individual data and a clear roadmap, not a one-size-fits-all diet or a cupboard full of random supplements.
I support root cause healing with nutrient-dense foods, gut health, and blood sugar balance. We will run a GI MAP test (yes, you get to swab your poop) to uncover imbalances that are hiding beneath your symptoms. We will also do comprehensive blood labs so we can identify any hidden sources of inflammation and system imbalances that stand between you and your health goals.
The process:
1. Submit a brief form so we can determine if we are a good fit
2. Fill out a detailed symptom assessment and complete functional testing
3. Collaborate on a personalized plan crafted around your goals, symptom presentation and lab results
4. Rely on ongoing support, education and accountability
5. Measure improvement with reassessments
What is Nutritional Therapy?
“A foundational, holistic approach to wellness that focuses on allowing the body to heal itself through a properly-prepared, nutrient dense, whole food diet and well-balanced lifestyle.” (Nutritional Therapy Association.)
Conventional healthcare matches a drug to a symptom. That has its place in acute cases; however, drugs do not create health. Nutritional therapy believes that symptoms are evidence of sick cells. Cells need sufficient nutrients and a healing environment or the body starts moving toward metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, immune issues, food sensitivities, hormone imbalance, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and more. Instead of treating the symptom, we look for the cause of the symptom – the underlying deficiency or imbalance.
We believe the body is intricately woven with a person’s beliefs, feelings and experiences. Every part has the potential to affect every other part. We honor the needs of the whole person and the uniqueness of the individual. We honor the body’s innate wisdom to heal when properly supported.
Nutritional Therapy rests on four foundations:
- A nutrient-dense, whole foods diet (getting the most bioavailable nutrients through proper hydration, mineral balance, fatty acids and protein)
- Good digestion (the healthiest diet doesn’t do you any good if you can’t break down and absorb the nutrients in your food)
- Blood sugar balance (to fuel all the jobs your body has to do)
- Healthy stress management (stress depletes minerals, slows digestion and spikes blood sugar)
