Nutrition Counseling Services

Considering the amazing benefits of our gut bacteria and its implications on our health, how can we be sure we are eating to maximize our microbiota?  Our gut bacteria are influenced by our diet, environment, age, activity, hygiene, life behaviors, and stress level.  Once out of balance, it can be very challenging to get digestive health back to its optimal state and function.  This imbalance can lead to further complications that include food sensitivities/allergies, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and more.  Norma teaches clients to understand better foods, supplements and lifestyle choices that heal and support a healthier gut.  She will guide you through an individualized protocol to rebalance your gut health to support your quality of life and sense of well-being.

Did you know that nearly 40 bacterial strains have been identified that produce or regulate our brain neurotransmitters, including Dopamine, GABA, and Serotonin?  Research is now just scratching the surface and there is already clinical data showing how gut bacteria influence anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism, eating disorders, addiction, and other behavioral health issues!  

Norma provides nutritional guidance that starts at the gut, and carries into other biomedical interventions that are truly effective in improving behavior health!  Having had her own challenges with ADHD as a child that was left untreated, she was led down the path of eating disorders and addiction as a young adult.  Norma recognizes the benefit in rebalancing her own health, as well as helping others to avoid the same life challenges.  
 

Whether you are struggling with food issues that currently consume your life, or trying to heal your gut after years of imbalanced eating behaviors, Norma can meet you wherever you are, to guide you back to a healthy relationship with food and a healed digestive system.

Norma's experience runs deep, having struggled with an eating disorder and then challenged by digestive issues, food sensitivities, severe migraines, and mental health imbalances that ensued long after healing her relationship with food.  Learning how to heal her own imbalances has empowered her to want to help others through the same healing journey!
