The day everything changed for me
|
It's a NEW DAY, Reader! Years ago, my son struggled with chronic joint pain and digestive chaos (to put it kindly). We spent seven long years looking for answers. Doctors. Tests. Medications. And then more of the same. We crossed countries and we crossed oceans looking for help. Everyone meant well and gave their best 'standard of care' recommendations, but no one could explain why he he was in pain and no one could fix it. As a parent, it broke my heart to see him suffering. I felt like I had exhausted all the options... how was it, after all this, we still had NO answers? When we finally turned to our focus food, it wasn’t because someone guided us there—it was because nothing else had worked. It felt like a desperate, last-ditch effort. So we pared down his diet, removing anything that might be remotely triggering. We meticulously tracked everything. Every meal. Every snack. Every trip to the bathroom. Every instance of pain. I checked in with him numerous times a day, asking him how he was feeling, hoping we would start to see improvement, or at least some patterns that we could make sense of. Three weeks into changing his diet, a switch was flipped. I still remember that day, and the realization at our bedtime check-in... No pain. All day long. For the first time in a VERY LONG TIME. That was the turning point. The moment I realized something I now believe with my whole heart: there is hope for healing for everyone, and what you eat truly matters. Not in a trendy, restrictive way—but in the deep, foundational way that lets the body finally do what it’s been trying to do all along - heal and re-balance. It is this HOPE that continues to drive me every day. This is why my work focuses on helping clients understand their patterns—what supports them, what keeps them inflamed, and how their body communicates through symptoms. Together, we build habits that last, simplify food choices, identify hidden triggers, and create nutrition and lifestyle strategies that actually fits their life and physiology. This is exactly why my client Eshinee got such impactful and lasting results! “Valerie has been an invaluable curator of health information for me. By doing a deep-dive into
my eating and living habits with me, she helped me process and come up with actionable
adjustments through the grid of her expertise. Knowing the scope of her training and her personal
investment in my well-being helped me have confidence to make and maintain some pretty
significant lifestyle alterations. The payoff in my well-being is obvious to anyone who spends any
time with me.” -Eshinee V., working professional

Reader, you were made for wellness! I know that may seem hard to believe, especially if you're experiencing health challenges and have spent too much time and energy searching for answers and real, personal support that will truly help you regain your health instead of just managing symptoms.

But they need the right tools...
It's a NEW DAY, Reader! Recently I attended the funeral of an elderly gentleman in our church. At the time of his passing, he was just shy of celebrating 45 years of sobriety. Anyone who struggles with an addiction likely has some powerful thoughts that come up hearing about this. Powerfully positive thoughts like: If he can do it, so can I! Yes! I'm on my way to that goal, too! Or maybe they're powerfully negative thoughts like: No way, I could never be that strong. How can anyone possibly...
It's a NEW DAY, Reader! You may have noticed I've been talking a lot about digestion lately. As a practitioner who sees people as WHOLE, not just organs, systems, and symptoms, I think about digestion quite differently than many other health professionals We have medical specialists who focus only on the digestive system - gastroenterologists - and some of them even get more specialized and focus on just one area of that system. When we need a surgeon, these are the people we want holding the...
