Meet Brooke
Functional & Holistic Nutritionist
Getting To The Root Cause
After receiving a B.S. in Nutrition from Bastyr University I was introduced to functional medicine and I immediately connected with the root cause approach and decided to pursue a master's degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States.
I’ve spent almost a decade in private practice specializing in food sensitivities, gut health, autoimmune diseases, histamine/MCAS, mitochondrial dysfunction, detoxification, and many other chronic health issues. It's been amazing witnessing so many clients transform their health, yet it felt like something was missing…
My Passion
My passion is to help people transform their health and reclaim their vitality by consciously nourishing their body, mind, and soul. Blending both holistic and functional nutrition, I look at the body as a system and focus on the underlying root cause of imbalances in the body rather than just symptoms. This holistic approach resolves imbalances in the body that can have a systemic impact rather than simply addressing individual symptoms or ailments. I understand and respect each person's unique biological and physiological makeup and how genes are impacted by lifestyle and environmental factors.
My Health Journey
Like many of you, I grew up eating a lot of convenient, processed, and fast food. When my grandmother, who I was very close to and am a spitting image of, passed away from lymphoma cancer at the young age of 65, it hit me that these were my genes, yet I was not going to let that prevent me from living a long healthy life. This is when my passion for nutrition and health started and it’s been an incredible journey.
True Health
I’ve come to learn that you can eat the highest quality organic food, drink filtered water, take all the best supplements and still feel horrible. True health is embodying the interconnectedness of our mind, body, and soul through eating nourishing foods, drinking clean water for hydration, reducing toxins, getting adequate sleep, being mindful of our thoughts and the stories we tell about ourselves, healing trauma, and living in energetic integrity.
As I reflect back to my grandmother, I can now see how her unresolved trauma and stress contributed to her early passing. Emotions are energy in motion and they can get stuck in the body causing dis-ease. This depth of understanding about the power of healing emotionally, moving the energy, and rewiring our negative brain patterns has led me to expand my practice into being truly holistic by integrating the mind, body, and soul.
I’ve always felt a calling to help guide others. Through my own healing journey, I’ve learned how to align with and appreciate my unique energy and how that impacts every aspect of my health. This has helped me learn not only about myself, but how I can guide others to align with their true self and live their best life as well.
