The evolution of healthcare has led to a sick care approach, treating symptoms with endless MD visits and pharmaceutical prescriptions. Jean provides care with an Integrative and Functional approach to Nutrition Therapy. This means looking for root causes to the symptoms that are causing imbalance and illness. Comprehensive assessments include thorough testing and evaluation.
