COMMON QUESTIONS
What is Live Blood Analysis?
Live blood analysis (LBA) is a technique that requires the use of a high-resolution Darkfield Microscope in order to observe live blood cells. LBA is a preventative and reactive way to respond to current diseases or possible conditions on the horizon. It is performed by a certified Live Blood Analyst who is qualified to view and understand live blood. The analyst can implement necessary protocols in order for the patient to maintain or improve their current health.
How is it done?
A small drop of blood is extracted from the finger and placed on a glass slide, protected by another glass
slide so as not to allow in oxygen. The analyst and patient will look at the blood together on a monitor. The
patient will be able to view the actual state of their own blood. This interactive technique allows both
patient and practitioner to ask further questions and to get immediate feedback.
Live Blood vs Standard Blood Tests
When blood samples are sent to a lab, chemical compounds are added to try and preserve the blood. This may alter the results. Viewing live blood immediately under a microscope will allow us to look at the quality of your blood. Conventional blood tests look at numbers not quality.
What can I do with this info?
By the end of the consultation, I will be able to make nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. The patient will leave the session with greater knowledge and ways to improve their current health situation.
What will the test tell me?
The test will depict nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, level of toxicity, pH of the blood, and the overall state of health of a patient.

Nutrtional Counseling
A different approach
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
A nutritional health counselor is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we'’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as weight management, exercise, food cravings, energy levels etc... Working with me, you wi’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health. Now, being able to see your blood under a microscope makes the process a lot easier and precise.
Bio-individuality
The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has her or his own food and lifestyle needs. So, when the experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it doesn’'t apply to everyone. One person’'s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. This individual approach will allow for positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, personal preferences, and background.
We are not only nourished by food but by other factors in our lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual practice, quality sleep, rest and relaxation and love are essential forms of nourishment. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary.
Do it all or choose where you want to start. Yoga/personal training or nutritional guidance. Wherever you are emotionally and physically allow me to be your personal guide and support you through your journey.
