Britt Kaylor, MHNFM
My journey to functional medicine began in my early 20s. I grew up dealing with asthma, allergies, monthly sinus infections, joint pain, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, fatigue, and depression. Modern medicine wasn't able to do much for me and so I just plodded through getting my monthly antibiotics, thinking this was just the way life was. When I left for college, I was apprehensive about being sick and away from home and I remembered a physician telling me to avoid dairy when I had a sinus infection as it thickened the mucous. I thought, well what if I avoid dairy altogether? Low and behold my monthly sinus infections decreased to once a year. I had inadvertently stumbled upon the realization that I had a sensitivity to dairy. A few years later, a friend recommended that I see an alternative practitioner who helped me identify other food sensitivities, and within weeks, my skin cleared, my energy picked up, my gastro-intestinal symptoms subsided, and my depression was gone. Several other practitioners over the years have helped me fine-tune my health using functional medicine methods.
Today I have more energy and vigor than I ever did growing up. I am able to enjoy my passions fully. Functional medicine has been a game-changer. Having personally experienced the incredible power of nutrition and lifestyle change , I knew that I wanted to help people in a similar capacity. I decided to pursue a masters of nutrition and functional medicine so that I could help others using the same powerful tools that have transformed my health. When my daughter was born, it quickly became apparent that she reacted to 50% of all foods/chemicals she was exposed to. She was later diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. With her extensive list of reactions even to supplements it became apparent that I would need more tools to be able to help her thrive. I branched out into acupressure, energy medicine and vibrational healing and two years later she had gained tolerance to over 100 foods. Today I am a certified Advanced Tao Healing Hands practitioner and have been helping clients using multiple different approaches that tailored to each client’s specific situation.
I am passionate about nutrition and lifestyle - having plenty of experience with the amazing results a few natural changes can accomplish. I am here to motivate, guide and support you through the changes necessary to get you on your way to optimum health!
