"The tougher the setback, the better the comeback." — Bernard Osei Annang

Do these words hit home right now?

Maybe you’ve been showing up for your life doing what you’re “supposed” to do.

You're eating clean (mostly), moving your body, trying to sleep, managing your responsibilities... but still, something feels off.

You might not be able to put your finger on it, but you're just not yourself.

That feeling? It isn’t just in your head.

Let’s break it down and walk through the steps to reclaim your clarity, energy, and connection to your body and mind.


1. Take Stock of What Came Before

This disconnection didn’t just appear out of nowhere.

In fact, if you look back at the months (or years) leading up to this point, you’ll probably notice signs: afternoon crashes, weird gut issues, restless sleep, more anxiety than usual.

But because your labs came back “normal,” you kept pushing.

What if normal doesn’t mean healthy?

In functional medicine, we use tighter lab ranges to show where your body might be struggling before disease shows up.

2. Damage Control

This isn’t the time to panic. But it is the time to stop guessing.

Guessing what to eat, what supplements to take, or whether your symptoms are even connected keeps you stuck.

You don’t need to be a functional medicine expert to make sense of it all. That’s our job.

Tools like the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) and functional blood chemistry analysis reveal what your body is trying to say.

3. Accept That Support is a Strength, Not a Weakness

You don’t have to do this on your own.

That independent streak? It got you this far, but it might be why you're stuck now.

The body is a complex system. A symptom in your gut could affect your brain. Hormones, digestion, and inflammation are all connected.

With the Initial Functional Health Assessment, we don’t treat symptoms like random noise. We look at the whole story to give you a plan that works.

4. Plan for What’s Next (With a Blueprint)

This isn’t about another diet or protocol.

It’s about building a plan based on you.

Your story, your history, your labs. Not someone else's checklist.

By combining your lab data with the NAQ, we create a personalized health strategy you can actually follow.

Functional medicine isn’t magic. It’s science + personalization.

5. Act, Don’t React

Action creates clarity.

And the first step? Stop guessing. Start assessing.

I built the Initial Functional Medicine Assessment for people like you who are done feeling “off” and ready to figure it out.

Still unsure? According to the CDC, 6 in 10 adults have at least one chronic condition. That’s not a coincidence.

Feeling “not like yourself” is often the first signal. The sooner you act, the better your chance of reclaiming your health.


You Are Not Broken. Your Body Is Talking.

You don’t need to keep pushing through, guessing, or waiting for things to get worse.

What if you had clarity? What if you had a custom plan that made sense of your symptoms, your labs, and your goals?

That’s what we do.

Rebuild Your Nutrition From The Inside Out

Most people approach nutrition by trying to squeeze themselves into the latest fad, whether it’s carnivore, keto, or Mediterranean.

But the truth is, no single diet was built for your unique body. That’s why I designed the Reset & Rebuild Nutrition Program.

Instead of forcing you into a trend, we start from the inside with a Functional Health Assessment that maps out your body’s specific burdens: digestion, stress, inflammation, and hormones.

From there, we build a personalized nutrition strategy that actually fits you: using elimination, reintroduction, and a 90-day recalibration plan to create lasting clarity and results.
