karen brennan

I am a holistic nutritionist that will work with you, beside you, as your advocate and guide you every step of the way towards optimal health and wellbeing. I do not believe in symptom management and instead believe that everything that is going on in your body is related. I also believe that anxiety, depression and ADHD are not diagnoses but instead symptoms of underlying root problems. For instance, while I support talk therapy, all the talk therapy in the world isn't going to help you if your depression is caused by an underlying issue such as a nutrient deficiency. I work with a range of clients but my primary focus is mental health, skin conditions, autoimmune conditions and gut health. I also see people that come to me with random symptoms, have seen many specialists yet still no answers, no solutions. I believe in an individual approach and making sure it is doable for you and fits into your lifestyle as well. I see in person, and distance clients. I use zoom or we can do via phone call as well. I keep supplements in stock but also use two online apothecaries to get you the supplements that you need. Testing can be ordered and kits sent directly to you and if it is blood work I order labs via Direct Labs which has lab sites to use all over the US. I am board certified in Holistic Nutrition and as of Fall 2020 will be enrolled in a PhD program for Integrative and functional Nutrition so that I can better serve you.
