Toxicity and Regenerative Nutrition
Toxicity
There are 84,000 chemicals in the marketplace today. They are now in our air and water and food supply. The products we use to clean our homes, kill weeds on our lawn, wash our laundry, dishes, hair and body all contain toxic chemicals. Only about 1 percent of these chemicals have been studied for safety. We are exposed to an average of 200 chemicals per day. This all adds to our bodies “toxic bucket”. Toxicity increases inflammation in the body. When our bucket overflows we have a wide array of symptoms.
Toxins also damage our bodies' ability to function and play a role in virtually all diseases. When we decrease the chemicals we are being exposed to and increase our bodies ability to detoxify we see :energy levels increase, weight loss, skin radiance, better immune system resilience, decreased inflammation and pain, improved hormonal balance and improved gut health. It is key to address toxicity to be able to restore the body to health.
Soil Health
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” -Hippocrates.
Even if you’re eating all organic food which doesn’t have some of the chemicals that other conventional agriculture does, if it is grown in depleted soil then the food is deficient of nutrients
Did you know that 99% of our soil in America is depleted due to the massive use of agriculture pesticides, and not letting the soil replenish before the next crop goes in. What does this mean for our food? It means our foods have less nutrients than they used to.
Today we are faced with a health crisis of undernourishment and over-toxicity. What we put in our bodies directly determines the quality of our life/health. We have to start thinking beyond eating organic and looking at soil health and regenerative farming practices.

It is key to address toxicity to be able to restore the body to health.
Soil health and human health are directly connected. Amino acids in micronutrients are an essential part of human health and the regeneration of tissues and cells. As humans, we must get our micronutrients and amino acids from plants; without them, our body cannot , repair and build proteins properly and perform optimally.
Regenerate means to recharge, restore, renew, repair, revitalize, to bring back to life.
The human body is in a constant state of renewing and repairing, from the cells in our skeleton to the nails on our toes. Every 90 to 120 days our bone, skin and blood completely regenerate.
Organic Nutrition
Organic nutrition is food grown in organic soil. It does not mean it is grown in nutrient dense soil. Only 1% of the farms in the US are nutrient dense (regenerative) farms.
Regenerative Nutrition
Regenerative nutrition is nutrition from plants grown in soil that is grown with regenerative farming practices. As a result these foods grown in nutrient dense soil are also nutrient dense.
When I incorporate foods or superfoods grown in regenerative soil in my clients diets, they are able to get the deep nourishment and the tools their body needs to begin the process of restoration.
What My Happy Clients are Saying...
"After struggling for thirty years with chronic health issues, I received a consult from Heather. She was wonderful! She surmised that I was suffering from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), and bloodwork confirmed it.
We then tested our house for mold and found we had high levels which were making both me and my husband sick. We sold our house to get out of the danger zone.
Since then, Heather has been helping both of us nourish our bodies and detox using regenerative nutrition. Heather has been with us every step of the way to encourage, guide, and give us great resources and advice to help us regain our health. Our doctor has been astounded at how much our health is improving, as she is regularly testing our blood and seeing it the results improve at each visit."
~Jacqui C.
"I approached Heather with my coaching needs because she had restored her health form chronic Lyme Disease and Bartonella which I too was struggling with. She was living proof that I too could overcome it and be on my way to rejuvenated health.
I thought I knew a lot about my illness and how nutrition played a major role in fighting it, but Heather was able to articulate in a very simple way things that I was doing to slow my journey.
Heather has been able to provide me with the tools I need to take on my health challenges. She has helped me realize
that I can do the work to get my health back. She gently encourages me along the way, but still gives me room to grow and learn things on my own."
~Gina S.
"With Heather guiding me as my health coach I have experienced the following:
- I lost 70 lbs
- I have more energy
- I'm able to clean my kitchen floor
- I rebounded from Polynephritis (kidney infection)
- My HbgA1c, Triglycerides and Cholesterol all came down
- I have been able to decrease several of my prescription medications and came of one medication for my heart
- My blood pressure has come down
If Heather did not know the answers to my questions, she would let me know and sought counsel from those who did. I am forever grateful for her, her belief in me, and encouragement to persevere."
~Debra R.
"I met Heather during the darkest time in my life: I was completely bedridden due to upper cervical instability. I made contact with her when I was looking for answers to my elevated inflammatory markers.
When Heather suggested mold I couldn't believe it, as our house was newly renovated and in very good condition. Our home was contributing to my families health issues. She helped me navigate this very confusing journey and helped me to detox. She was supportive through thick and thin.
Her guidance worked and I am feeling so much better along with our kids Heather was supportive every step of the way, extremely knowledgeable and caring.
Thank you Heather, it was and it continues to be a pleasure to work with you!"
