As an unlicensed practitioner, I do not diagnose or treat disease.  Instead, I look at blood chemistries and various other laboratory tests from a nutritional perspective.  These tests offer opportunities to see imbalances before they become serious conditions.  If I ever suspect any medical condition, I immediately refer my clients to the appropriate licensed practitioners.

Whether you need a complete dietary overhaul or a little fine-tuning, Real Food Therapy is here to help you ...
