Hi! I’m Heewon! I have been a holistic nutritionist for 16 years, working in the Los Angeles area. I am dedicated to helping you find the root of your health concerns so that you can express your greatest genetic potential and live your best life. I believe that proper nutrition is key to achieving wellness and am eager to help you find your genetic uniqueness and custom tailor your individual path to a vibrant life.
I believe that our struggles, when it comes to ridding our ailments and overcoming disease, is due to our lack of education, combined with a cultural tendency on covering up symptoms with medication, rather than finding the root of our dis-ease. In my studies and experience, I’ve seen that the whole body is connected and many times the root issue doesn’t lie where you may experience symptoms. Depending on your unique genetics, ethnic background, traumas, diet, lifestyle and stress, people may experience the same symptoms due to different root causes and thus may require different remedies.
I will help you remove the “layers of your onion”, in order to reach these root(s). With therapeutic supplements, a flexible whole food diet and by restoring the body’s own healing powers, you will experience freedom from your symptoms and a sense of wellness that you can maintain with minimal effort. Just as you can develop a condition or disease NOT in your genetics due to destructive lifestyle choices, you can express “good” genes to help your body to “ignore” and therefore not express the “bad” genes. Through this approach – Defy your DNA, we:
- Detoxify your body of what doesn’t belong in it (chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, etc);
- Nourish your body with what it needs (vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, etc); and
- Adapt your body to withstand the stresses of our daily lives and that of our environment (work, relationships, growing EMF’s and toxicities).
