NATIVE NUTRITIONAL THERAPY

RESTORING HEALTH IN THE GREEN MOUNTAINS AND BEYOND

Are You Ready to Grow Forward?

Hi, my name is Jodie Stephenson. I live in the heart of the Green Mountains and believe that real food and digestive wellness are foundational to optimal health.

​

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Restorative Health Practitioner, I take a root-cause approach to digestive issues. Through personalized, functional nutrition, I help individuals uncover the hidden imbalances behind their symptoms, so they can feel peace, comfort, and confidence in their daily lives.

​

Regardless of the challenges, the first step toward true healing begins with food and digestion. Inflammatory foods, a disrupted gut microbiome, and impaired digestion can trigger a cascade of imbalances throughout the body, affecting every system, organ, tissue, and cell.

 

The good news is, your body has the ability to heal when blocking factors are removed, and the body is deeply nourished.  By supporting your body’s natural function and restoring balance, you can reclaim your health and enjoy life to its fullest.

​

Are you ready to embrace freedom and embark on your wellness journey?

MY APPROACH

Wild Flowers

Every day provides you an opportunity to Grow Forward

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe the human body is a beautiful work of art—deserving of love, respect, and nourishment. Nutrition and digestive function are foundational pillars to our health because every cell in the body depends on them for optimal metabolic function. Additional branches that sustain the tree of wellness include lifestyle practices and environmental factors that significantly affect our body's balance and the flow of biochemical processes.

Address Blocking Factors / Detox

Blocking factors like bacterial overgrowth, parasitic infections, food sensitivities, poor digestive functions and a build-up of toxins prevent healing and must be eliminated to create an ideal internal terrain to restore balance and function. 

Essentail Supplements

While there are no magic pills,  carefully selected holistic supplements work with the body’s natural environment to support and the body's orchestrated function and improve harmony.

CAN YOU RELATE?

Do you experience persistent digestive symptoms that are affecting your everyday life? 

​

Perhaps you have frequent brain fog, joint pain, and headaches?

​

Do you have a hidden bacterial infection, mold toxicity, or heavy metal exposure, preventing you from healing? 

​

​When your digestive system is under distress, symptoms expand beyond the gut, impacting your skin, immune system, hormones, energy, metabolism, sleep cycle, mental health, and more. 

​

It is time to discover the root cause and restore balance throughout your body by improving your diet, digestive function and gut microbiome.
