Nutritional Evaluation/Plan

Individual Nutritional Evaluations help identify dietary, metabolic, and biochemical factors that influence energy, digestion, hormones, and overall health. This is often integrated with a Methylation Protocol.

Methylation can influence metabolism based on the DNA methylation shifting genetic expression. Methylation refers to the addition of how a methyl group (CH3) shifts genetic expression and influences all the metabolic processes in the body. (This determines how/which genes express, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production).

Rather than following generic diet plans, this process evaluates your unique needs to create targeted nutrition and supplement strategies that support the body’s ability to heal, regulate, and perform optimally.

WHAT IS A NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION + WHOLISTIC METHYLATION?

One way we support a nutritional supplement protocol is utilizing a technique that is directed by a technique called Wholistic Methylation. Methylation is basically how things are built up or broken down/detoxed biochemically within your body.

Our Nutritional Evaluation looks at how nutrition (what you eat, drink and/or may need as a vitamin or supplement), lifestyle choices, and biochemical factors impact your health. Practitioners assess patterns such as nutrient deficiencies, digestive stress, blood sugar imbalance, and inflammatory triggers and supply a plan that can specifically support and optimize your health. The specificity ranges based on genetic SNIPS, toxic load and/or illness experienced.

The goal is to determine:

  • What your body needs more of

  • What may be creating stress or imbalance

  • How to support metabolism and cellular function

  • Which supplement, herb, homeopathic remedy and/or flower essence (if any) may be helpful

Plans are customized and evolve over time based on response and progress.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During your consultation:

  • A practitioner reviews diet, lifestyle habits, symptoms, and health history.

  • Additional insights may be gathered through Wholistic Methylation vials, CRA, Applied Kinesiology, labs or functional assessments.

  • A personalized nutrition and supplement plan is developed.

  • Follow-ups refine and adjust your plan as your body responds.

Appointments typically last 15–60 minutes.
