The Importance of Environmental Inputs
The best way to get to the root cause of disease is to understand how your personal environment interacts with your genetics to determine your overall state of health or disease.

Hormones and Neurotransmitters
How do you feel today? Does your mood and energy level swing up and down? Do you crave sugar or salt? Are you overweight and putting on more belly fat? If you are a woman, do you have PMS, painful or heavy periods, and/or a low sex drive? Are you depressed? Do you sleep poorly?Do you feel tired but have trouble sleeping?
Gut and Digestive Health
Do you suffer from (or have previously suffered from) bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux, or gas? Over 100 million Americans have some form of digestive problems. Because of this, there are over 200 over-the-counter drugs for digestive disorders, many of which can actually create additional digestive problems.
