Vitality Nutrition

Vitality Nutrition was created in December, 2015, after a long quest for knowledge of true healing.  
It is the end of one health journey and the beginning of the next, in which I look forward to learning more as well as sharing knowledge.  The amount of information about how diet and health relate is vast and increases daily.
My lingering  health problems as a baby and young child lead my parents first to allopathic doctors, and when the medications didn’t work, to an Naturopathic, Ayurvedic doctor in Portland, Oregon, who took me off all medications and gave me a thorough diet change and homeopathy.  This prescription cleared up the difficulties beautifully.
As an adult, I later returned to considering diet for health maintenance and disease prevention when looking for ways to cope with osteoarthritis.  In my studies at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (and for my own personal knowledge) I experimented with different diets in order to see how they helped with my symptoms, as well as what difference they made to my overall health and energy levels.  From these experiences I was able to see how different eating plans can benefit individuals, according to their own unique genetics and biology.  A few eating practices I have had good experiences with are (refined) sugar-free, gluten-free, slow food, vegan + fish and eggs, juicing, vegetable smoothies, dairy-free, caffeine-free, alcohol-free.  
In addition to this, in my clinic studies I have been able to support people who have come for a consult regarding health problems like thyroid difficulties, blood sugar imbalance (often seen in diabetes), eczema, asthma, IBS, cancer, anxiety and sports medicine.  
Love of dance leads me to take a special interest in dancers nutrition, which not only includes support of muscles & bones, but often endocrine, nervous system and gastrointestinal health as well.  I look forward to completing my diploma in the summer of 2016 and beginning practice, as well as continuing to learn more about personalised lab testing, which can tell a lot about how genetics and environment affect individual health.
