October 2022 Newsletter
 
Fall is here, and hopefully you are doing well and had a wonderful summer to recharge. My husband and I actively support my mom in Germany every 2 months and sometimes more often for emergencies. She clearly needs our support, and it makes me feel good to be there for her as much as I can.
 
 
 
I love the phrase on the airplane when the flight attendant says:
“Put your oxygen mask on first before helping others!”
 
 
 
 
It is easy to put our own needs last and support the younger and older loved ones who need us, before thinking of our own needs and health.
 
It is time to move on and take the best care of ourselves as possible, because we have learned from the last years that the healthier we are, the stronger our immunity is, the less inflamed we are, and the better we deal with illnesses coming our way. Personally, I am 57 years old, and my goal is to be as fit, and through and through as healthy as I can be. I am working on it. I believe there are 7 pillars of health, and it is important to keep an eye on all 7 (that is what I recommend, and work on them all the time for myself too!).
 
 
 
 
 
7 Pillars of Health
 
 
Nutrition
Exercise
 
 
Relaxation
Sleep
 
 
Relationships
Finding Purpose in Life
 
Spirituality
 
 
 
 
 
 
So, nutrition is one piece of the puzzle, in any case a foundation, because most of us eat 2-3 times a day.
Of course, we always need to work on our gut health!! Without digesting properly, we are not assimilating the food as well as we should, which is necessary for absorption. ….and we need all those nutrients from the healthy food sources we are consuming.
 
 
 
I found an article that I wrote many years ago which is published on the KBMO Diagnostics website, that I would love to share with you.
 
Often my clients ask me how the FIT Tests that I am offering can impact our health. So here is a summary from a few years back explaining the amazing results I am seeing in my work.
 
 
 
 
"I have been using the FIT Test for the past 7 years in my Holistic Nutrition Practice and I absolutely love it. It allows me to implement a bio-individual approach through a diagnostic tool that clients can do in their own homes.
Some of my clients use the test just to continue with their healthy habits and eating only what their body agrees with. Others use it for weight loss goals and are astounded how the wrong foods have blocked their efforts. Many clients use the test to improve their inflammatory conditions, and I have seen amazing results.
For some clients who want to change their diet and don’t know where to start, the FIT test is a wonderful tool and is a great starting point as they are able to see which foods, they have a negative reaction to. The FIT test is a great first step for my clients to developing healthier eating habits.
Fatigue diminishes, sleep and mood improve. All kinds of medical conditions that have formed to chronic inflammation improve when the foods that show a reaction in the blood test are removed from their daily food intake. Dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and acne get better or heal, arthritis and joint inflammation improves.
One of my clients is pain free after decades of joint immobility.
Chronic headaches, chronic migraines have improved, diminished, or are not part of my clients lives anymore. Learning difficulties have improved, as have mood disorders. I have seen clients experience improvements with their depression and anxiety. All kinds of digestive issues have improved. I see many clients with chronic stomach pain, which have not been able to pinpoint the cause or been diagnosed with a medical condition.
The FIT Test is a fabulous tool to help these clients. For some it has been life-changing! Patients with gastrointestinal conditions, including diarrhea / constipation / bloating have gotten back to a balanced digestive tract after removing all foods that the body reacts to."

Personally, I have used the FIT Test many times, and have healed some responses and recovered from health issues. My clients find that they were able to find the missing piece in their health puzzle with the FIT Test.
 
 
Sometimes it is very encouraging to take the test again, to see how the effort of removing a few foods from their diet has paid off. It can reduce the reactivity while healing takes place and after this period of refraining from eating it, an occasional intake might be better digested and handled by the body.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Please reach out if you have any questions. I hope this helps you to determine if the FIT Test is right for you. I also offer POST FIT Test reviews with my years of experience to all who have the FIT Test from a different provider. As the head nutritionist of KBMO Diagnostics, I am creating meal plans with my amazing team of 7 meal planners for the FIT 176, that the providers are raving about. The FIT Test results also come with an APP that shows your test results, possible cross reactions and your meal plan. Included with the test results is a gut-permeability panel that allows me to offer more guidance for healing.
From my heart I wish you a great Fall with many health improving action steps! It is time Fall back to healthy habits.
 
 
 
Sending you good energy,
