Hey there, I'm Shilpa!Ā
Metabolic Reboot Coach
I help middle aged men and women to take control of chronic inflammation through evidence based integrative approach.
My journey in functional nutrition started with my masters in Human Nutrition with heavy focus on functional nutrition. Then, eventually I became a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), which is one of the most recognized certifications in the functional nutrition world. I worked as a clinical nutritionist for 10 years, seeing people who were desperate to find out the root cause of their health issues. All of them went from practitioner to practitioner, not finding answers, with most of them suffering from chronic inflammation. They tried various diets and supplements but it was not helping them in the long term. This is one of the reasons that led me to develop a personalized DNA based program, which helps to shed light on your unique metabolism, nutrient requirements, and food sensitivities contributing to continuous inflammation. This helps to design a comprehensive and personalized nutrition plan to take control of chronic inflammation.
Secondly, my personal experience with chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and insulin resistance was eye opening. It made me strongly believe inĀ the finding root cause, DNA analysis based comprehensive nutrition, and a lifestyle plan, as this approach is what helped me to get rid the chronic inflammation impacting my own overall health.
It All Started When ..
Let me tell you my personal story of struggling with chronic inflammation. I had anĀ overwhelming and frustrating experience of trying to manage unexplained chronic pain, persistent brain fog, and debilitating anxiety for four long years. As well as this, I had chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis), knee pain, and insulin resistance (which I never realized that I had it).
I did all the diagnostic proceduresĀ from x-rays to blood reports but I found no sustainable answer to manage long debilitating chronic inflammation. Instead, I was offered medications which I was not ready to take. Chronic pain made my life hard and prevented me from doing basic things. Most importantly, it gave me great difficulty in exercise, climbing the stairs in my house, and my most favorite activity of hiking.
But Then Everything Changed...
My diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes was an eye opening and transformative experience for me, one that pushed me to look deeply within and explore the deeper issues that cause this disease.
By using advanced and complex functional lab testing methods and participation in illuminating and extensive DNA analysis processes, I was able to find my food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and the food that was causing inflammation in my body. In addition to this, it also helped me figure out the right kind of exercise, how much sleep is optimal for my body, sleep support, stress reduction, and gut support that was right for me. I effectively confronted and managed my chronic inflammation, blood sugar, and inflammation with this DNA based approach.
Ā Now I'm Able ToĀ
This was not a hasty fix for the problems at hand, but rather, it provided a solid foundation upon which major and deep-seated changes were possible in many areas of health. These included greater mental clarity, better control over blood sugar levels, a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, improved quality of sleep, and reaching a healthy and stable weight.Ā This journey taught me that true health and wellness comes from addressing the root cause, not just symptoms.Ā
At this specific point in my career, where I am a committed functional health practitioner, I am fully invested in the very important task of helping both men and women discover their individual underlying imbalances that might be impairing their overall well-being. My main goal is to assist them on their path to regaining and rediscovering their full vitality and radiant health. If you have been suffering from feelings of abandonment and debilitating fatigue resulting from long standing inflammation, you need to know that you can have absolute trust and assurance that I am committed to walking you through every step of this journey!Ā
