Carla is currently working with me to come up with a diet/food plan to keep inflammation down, ie Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Also ensuring I am taking the right supplements for my Thyroid condition. She knows the right tests to order to check hormone levels and for food sensitivities. I have gone years not knowing that I may have food sensitivities to gluten or grains (or other foods) because I did a food allergy test years ago with a doctors and the results came up with no allergies. That doctor never mentioned that I should do a food sensitivity test. Even slight sensitivities can cause inflammation. I have no answers yet why I miscarried half way through my pregnancy but I feel inflammation in my body was a cause. Carla is helping me with a plan and using food as my medicine (in addition to my Thyroid meds that I get from my Endocrinologist). I plan to continue to work with Carla when I hopefully get pregnant again and I feel more confident knowing that she will help me during my pregnancy to stay healthy.

One more important note is that Carla works with and networks with Doctors in various fields so that she can refer me to the ones she knows and trusts.
