Our approach goes beyond creating meal plans and calorie counting; Our focus is on addressing you, the entire person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. We believe optimal health involves looking at the body from a holistic point of view and addressing health issues from their root cause. That includes assessing nutrition intake, conventional + functional labs, stress, sleep, movement/exercise, nervous system health, thyroid health, genetics, hormones, and the gut microbiome.

The Latest on the blog

All Praise and Thanks to God, I found Alah when I needed her the most. She is such a blessing!
I feel more comfortable with Alah, because she is very sweet and caring, and she spends so much time on you. For example, sometimes, you go to doctors and pay $100 each visit, just for them to not give you any heed and then you have to come again and again, paying $100 each time because you did not get the chance to mention many important issues. Alah will let you talk all you want and then even ask follow-up questions. She gives you so much time and attention, she truly wants to help others.

Before I got treated with Alah, I was so sick, I had heavy brain fog and confusion, my arm ached really bad like it was broken, my stomach was so sensitive that if I was in a room with air freshener I would get extremely nauseous and dizzy, and my period was abnormal and I would get really bad depression and mood swings way from like 2 weeks before my cycle and it would stay through the cycle. Also, I had extreme anxiety for no reason, all day, for 3 years. All the symptoms were so heightened, I could not function. I could not even do a simple job.

Once I started with the protocol Alah gave me, I was feeling very good in 2 weeks. By the end of the 1st month, I already felt all my symptoms disappear and went back to work! If you have hormonal imbalance, IBS, or alzheimer you should definitely try out functional nutrition with Alah! I hope that whoever is reading this, that you also have such success with your treatment or even better, God Willing! <3

“My reflections on our sessions, especially when we first began, is that on top of seeing physical changes in my body from following your advice, the emotional aspect of my health journey improved so much in the sense that it became very easy to be forgiving towards myself and my habits and it helped with my emotional relationship with food! It felt really good to dedicate time to my mindset and then link it to my diet.”

I've noticed reduced bloating, I feel less bloated, reduced overall sugar intake, and I've been drinking at least 2 water bottles (32 oz) with minerals daily. My skin is clearer!
