Welcome to OHN!
Natasha Kurth, IHP2
You already know something is wrong. You just haven't found anyone who can tell you why.
Maybe your child keeps getting sick - ear infections, stomach issues, mystery rashes - and every pediatrician visit ends with "they look fine." Maybe you're the one who's exhausted, foggy, or running on empty, doing everything "right" and still not feeling well. Maybe you've cleaned up your diet, switched some products, and you're still not seeing the results you hoped for.
That was me.
I spent years feeling frustrated and let down by a system that treated my symptoms but never asked what was causing them. I watched my daughter struggle and felt that helpless, sinking feeling that every parent knows - the one where you'd do anything to fix it, but nobody can tell you what "it" even is.
So I started digging.
What I found changed everything. Hidden nutrient deficiencies. Toxin exposure from products I thought were safe. Imbalances in my body that no standard blood panel had ever caught. Once I found the root causes, I finally had a roadmap… and for the first time, things actually started to get better.
That's when I knew I couldn't keep this to myself.
I'm a Level 2 Integrative Health Practitioner and I use functional medicine lab testing alongside nutrition, lifestyle, environmental exposures, sleep, stress, and other Healthy Foundations to look for patterns and imbalances that may be contributing to how you or your child feels. We don't guess. We test. And then we build a real, personalized plan around what your body actually needs.
But I'm also just a mom.
A mom who has figured out how to keep this lifestyle going at daycare, at birthday parties, at family dinners where not everyone understands. A mom who knows what the "look" feels like when you pull out a different snack, and who has learned which battles are worth fighting and which ones aren't. I live this every single day and that means I know what's actually realistic for a busy family, not just what works in theory.
I started Optimized Health Naturally because every parent deserves real answers. Not another prescription to manage symptoms. Not another Google rabbit hole at midnight. Real answers backed by functional testing, rooted in science, and tailored to your family's unique needs.
Every symptom can have a reasonable explanation on its own. Sometimes it's the pattern that tells us to keep asking questions.
If you're tired of being told everything looks "normal" when nothing feels normal - you're exactly who I built this for.
