What We Do with Amelia Luker

I've just got back from three wonderful weeks of travelling in the UK, and while I was there, I ran into some old friends who've been listening to my podcast. "Lots of great information, but not much prescriptive," they said. "What the heck is it that you do for a living now?". Well, that's the question that this show attempts to answer. 

And who better than Amelia to help me describe what it is that we do at Nourish Balance Thrive. Amelia and I have been working together for about a year now, and I'm proud to announce that she's now my first full-time employee.

In a nutshell:

Nourish Balance Thrive is the wellness programme created by athletes, for athletes. We've had great results recommending a Paleo diet, especially The Whole30 and Autoimmune Paleo protocol, along side environment hacks to improve sleep and manage stress. We don't design training plans, but we do recommend walking and lifting heavy things. If you're already doing these things and aren't getting the brochure experience, then now might be a good time to start doing some testing. Each set of results are unique, but the set of tests I use don't vary much.

The tests are:

The BioHealth 205 Adrenal Stress Profile The Genova Diagnostics 0091 Organix Comprehensive Profile The BioHealth 401H GI Pathogen Screen A basic blood chemistry with CBC, CWP, iron panel, Vitamin D, A1c, insulin, homocysteine, B12, folate and more.

Am I missing a test you've found to be helpful? Let me know in the comments below.

I know from personal experience that when you've been feeling like crap for a long time, perception of normal becomes distorted. You can now quantify your normal and track its improvement using my Health Assessment Questionnaire, coded by my own fair hand using the Python programming language.

In the show, I mentioned this LED lighting kit.
