ROOT CAUSE NUTRITION Get to the root cause of your health issue through our personalized process designed to bridge the gap between functional medicine and clinical nutrition for clients with imbalances beyond the reach of diet and exercise alone. Through our own personal experiences we understand the daily struggles of a life with chronic symptoms and the practicalities of what is required to get your health back on track. The typical client healing journey takes anywhere from 4 to 12+ months and follows our personalized process. For a more detailed breakdown of each step in the process, continue reading to the bottom of this page.
Functional Nutrition is a great option if you want to:
Discover the root cause problems that are keeping you sick
Get access to functional lab testing to uncover the hidden stressors in your body
Troubleshoot common problems like gut infections, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances and liver toxicity
Look at your body holistically, instead of just chasing symptoms
Use natural therapies backed by science instead of synthetic pharmaceutical alternatives
Customize your diet and supplements based on a healing protocol for YOUR body
Learn to understand the systems of the body and how to take control of your own health
Work with someone who has dealt with chronic digestive issues themselves
We work with clients who:
Are committed to restoring their health to 100% function
Want to learn more about their body so that they can take control of their own health and healing long term
Are willing to make the necessary changes and investment required to improve their health
Have tried other approaches, conventional or otherwise, that haven’t worked
We do not work with clients who:
Are happy to be dependent on medications or very restrictive diets for life to control their digestive symptoms
Feel that making the necessary diet and lifestyle changes are too inconvenient or impossible for them
Want a quick fix or magic pill to solve their health problems
Aren’t prepared to take responsibility for their own health and healing

4-Session Healing Package
Phase I: Initial Discovery Session (1.5 hours)
This is primarily an information gathering session. Prior to our meeting, you will have completed the new client paperwork in the patient portal (to which you will receive an invitation from us). These are the most important forms in attempting to understand your present state of health. Please complete them in as much detail as possible. It should take about an hour to finish. It is imperative for us to know everything possible about you and your wellbeing. Todd will use this information along with further questioning to clarify meaning. Thereafter, acting as your guide and coach, we will generate a plan to achieve your goals, overcome lingering health issues and empower you to healthier lifestyle choices and habits.
During this initial evaluation we will:
review and discuss your present health goals and concerns
review and discuss your health, nutrition and testing history
estimate your body composition (body fat % and muscle mass)
consider potential approaches to improve your wellbeing
recommend lab tests that are appropriate for your specific health issues
Upon conclusion of this meeting you will have recommendations for follow-up lab work and dealing with any immediate health concerns.
Phase II: Recommendations and Action Plans
Once you have completed your lab tests, Todd will explain the meaning of your test results to you and recommend a plan tailored to your specific goals and needs in a follow up consultation called a Review of Findings (ROF).
Review of Findings Appointment & Initial Treatment Recommendations (60 min) During the ROF we will review and discuss your lab results in detail. The ROF will be scheduled about four weeks after your initial consultation to allow enough time to complete any labs and for me to access, interpret and synthesize the results into your personalized therapeutic plan.
The foundational benefits included in each therapeutic plan:
Follow-up visits with Todd (50-Min. each)
Review of your progress implementing your individualized Tx Plan.
Recommendations for and analysis of follow-up lab testing (both conventional and functional including optimal ranges) appropriate for your specific health issues.
Refinements to your Tx Plan (as needed) and a detailed action plan updated after each visit.
Personalized Nutrition Plan.
Customized Supplement Plan.
Personalized Exercise Program.
Body Composition Estimations.
Stress Management/Reduction Techniques.
Secure email support via the patient portal. This is for facile queries to keep you on track; communication that requires more in-depth analysis are addressed in follow-up visits.

Why do you mostly offer monthly programs instead of a la carte services?
I only accept a limited number of new clients each month so that I can give each client the time, attention and individualized care they deserve. The work I do with clients is designed to be transformational and to help restore and foster long term optimal health, not just temporary relief from symptoms. It is difficult to provide this type of care on an “a la carte” basis. My experience has shown that the clients who get the best results are the ones who are fully invested in reaching their health goals, are willing to commit the time and effort to it takes to achieve them and follow up on a regular basis. Being consistent with your care is important because it allows me to continually modify, fine-tune, research and troubleshoot your treatment plan. My programs are also designed to provide you with resources, support and access to me outside of your appointments so that you have continual support as you implement your therapeutic recommendations.
What happens at the end of my program?
At the end of any treatment program, I offer a membership program that includes a range of services and “a la carte” pricing for follow-up appointments. At the end of your program we will discuss what makes the most sense for you.
Phase II Extension ADDITIONAL FOLLOW-UP VISITS (if needed)

Schedule 30-Min. Follow-Up Visits #2 and #3 respectively for Phase II Extension here (Only AFTER the initial 30-min appointment--made with payment--has been completed.)
Note: **All sessions must be used within the specified program time-length--4-months--or you will forfeit them. **All costs of tests and supplements are paid by you (the client) directly to the lab and dispensary respectively and are additional to the individual program fees. **Rescheduling/Cancellation Policy: We have a 48-hour rescheduling policy. If you cancel or reschedule less than 48-hours (two business days) from the time of your scheduled appointment, you will be charged a rescheduling/cancellation fee of $300. for Initial Evaluation/History & Exam appointments and $150. for ROF and Follow-Up appointments. **Arriving late for an appointment: I believe it is not fair for me to keep clients waiting. I expect the same from my clients. Thus, your consultation appointment will terminate at the scheduled time and you will be charged for a full visit, even if you are late. ***All prices in USD
