Chronic stress isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body. Over time, unrelenting stress can lead to hormone imbalances, immune dysfunction, poor digestion, mental fog, fatigue, and increased risk for chronic diseases. It disrupts sleep, drives inflammation, and pushes your body into survival mode. In Functional Medicine, we understand that stress is both a root cause and a result of deeper physiological imbalance.

In my practice, I help clients move beyond surface-level stress management. Together, we identify and correct the biological imbalances that are driving your stress response—so you can feel calmer, think clearer, and live with more ease and energy. This isn’t about temporarily escaping stress—it’s about changing how your body handles it.

How I Help You Manage Stress Effectively:

⦿ Functional Lab Testing for Stress Markers

We begin by identifying how stress is affecting your body. Testing may include:

• Cortisol and DHEA levels

• Adrenal (HPA axis) function

• Neurotransmitter balance

• Blood sugar variability and inflammation markers

⦿ Root Cause Exploration

We look at what’s triggering or sustaining your stress response, such as:

• Blood sugar instability

• Environmental toxins or EMF exposure

• Gut-brain axis imbalances

• Emotional overload or trauma responses

• Nutrient deficiencies that impair nervous system function

⦿ Nervous System Regulation Techniques

To calm and rewire your stress response, I guide you through:

• BrainTap neurotechnology

• Vagus nerve stimulation

• Red light therapy

• Somatic and grounding practices

⦿ Adrenal & Mitochondrial Support

We nourish and rebuild your stress-handling systems with:

• Adaptogenic herbs

• Mitochondrial support nutrients

• Anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-stabilizing foods

• Targeted meal timing to support energy and mood

⦿ Restorative Lifestyle Strategies

Together, we implement sustainable routines that support:

• Deep, restorative sleep

• Healthy circadian rhythms

• Breathwork, mindfulness, and daily calm rituals

• Boundaries, joy, and time for true recovery

You weren’t meant to live in a constant state of stress. With the right support, your body can shift out of “survival mode” and return to a state of balance, energy, and clarity. At GainingHealth.net, I help you regulate your nervous system, support your adrenals, and build the inner resilience you need to feel strong, grounded, and well.
