Primal Restoration

Nora Gedgaudas’ book Primal Body-Primal Mind provides an amazing resource for getting started with Paleo Nutrition. However, we find that clinically, many people may encounter challenges that require the guidance and personalization of a professional Nutritionist. Primal Restoration is a multi-dimensional approach of using personal health history intake, blood chemistry and possibly other clinical testing (such as hair analysis, SpectraCell Micronutrient Testing, Lipid Particle Profile Assessment, salivary hormone testing, and 24-hour urinalysis) to create a personalized plan to help overcome any roadblocks clients are having in their journey to optimal health. Primal Restoration takes the Paleo concept outlined in Nora's book and applies it personally to YOU. Carrie and Nora will collaborate on each and every client, creating a plan and providing options such as personal meal planning services that fit with your lifestyle.

In order to get started with Primal Restoration, here are a few prerequisites:

1). Read and familiarize yourself with Primal Body-Primal Mind.

2) Realize that depending on the degree and length of your health history, that dietary changes take time to result in changes in symptoms. Give yourself the space and the time to give this way of eating a chance to work for you. We are here to help you as best we can, but sometimes it takes time to reverse the layers and years of poor eating habits and malnourishment.

3) Be ready to make the commitment to yourself to give your diet a huge overhaul, and create the space in your budget for the highest quality food that you can afford. The more able you are to invest in quality, organic foods, the less you will find yourself needing to spend extra money on supplements.

4) A willingness to invest in additional testing that may be necessary to further clarify your health situation. Many of the tests we work with are covered by insurance, but some are not. We do not bill insurance, but will provide itemized receipts for you to submit.

5) An openness to investing in a modest amount of supplements, if found necessary, for a period of time as needed for your body to restore optimal levels if deficiencies are found.

It thrills me to work with my clients to help uncover the “mystery” of their health, and help them find the answers they need to find optimal health!
