The Optimum Wellness Plan follows the philosophies of functional medicine and integrative nutrition. If you are active, “generally healthy”, proactive about eating well and exercising, but want to determine how to reduce GI symptoms, fatigue, or ensure your nutrition intake supports your lifestyle, this is the program for you. This plan is recommended during the “off season” for a competitive athlete, and does not include fueling for training and racing.
The most common complaints of clients in this program are:
- Gas, bloating, constipation (leaky gut)
- Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis
- Heartburn, Indigestion
