What is Functional Nutrition
Functional nutrition is the intersection between functional medicine and nutritional coaching. Jesika is trained to use a “full body systems" approach to address underlying root causes of dis-ease. Genes do not dictate your health, genes only load the gun. It's your cellular environment that pulls the trigger to symptom and dis-ease. This is such a promising discovery when it comes to wanting to transform your current state of functional health. 99% of the DNA contained in your body is the genetics of the contents of your gut. Think about that...only 1% of the DNA contained in your body is your DNA and the rest is your microbiome. Your microbiome is a community of organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi that live within you and make up 99% of the DNA in you. This is why when wanting to heal it is crucial to focus on healing and repairing your gut. Jesika believes it's not enough to heal the root cause of dis-ease you must also change the soil where the roots grow. The study of the internal cellular environment is called Epigenetics. Through education and lifestyle choices Jesika will support you in creating your intentional transformation and reaching your AlcheMe state.
​
Jesika uses a unique approach that allows her to reveal the source of your suffering and create a customized nutrition and lifestyle solution for you to implement. Jesika knows you are an individual. You are biologically unique and you are not a statistic. The current health care system treats everyone with the same signs, symptoms and conditions the same diagnosis and treatment. This has to change and this is where Jesika can help fill the gap.

Jesika's Approach
Jesika’s approach looks at all aspects of your history and your health not just your signs and symptoms. Jesika offers 2 main steps to your health solution. Not everyone will need both steps.
Majority of people will see improvement after STEP 1
In your first 90 minute appointment you will share your symptoms, history and lifestyle to help Jesika understand your story. She will reveal your top inflammatory culprits in your diet and lifestyle. This step aims to reduce systemic inflammation which is often the cause of so many symptoms. In doing so this will allow for a clearer lens when discovering whats going on in your body and unique to you. This step will be completed in your initial 90 minute consultation where Jesika will provide you with a plan to implement.
STEP 2
After the inflammation is cleared if symptoms continue to persist Jesika will begin to help you identify your triggers and root causes in your second appointment. Through this process Jesika will aim to address any deficiencies that may be getting in the way of your healing. This is where she will work on root cause resolution but also begin to change the environment within on a cellular level. Please note: Jesika’s work is most successful with people who are willing to make significant changes in their diet and lifestyle in order to improve and heal.
