Deborah Smart: As a mother of two (now adults) who have had significant health challenges, my interest in nutritional medicine grew from my desire to improve the health of my family.  

​

After an early career as a high-school teacher, after many years battling poor health, gut, and hormone issues, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005.  I then spent four years working with churches and communities devastated by AIDS in southern Africa. These experiences increased my determination to help people achieve their potential and pursue optimal health through nutrition. 

​

I have a special interest in auto-immune conditions, mental health, gastro intestinal issues, and hormonal imbalances, as well as over a decade of experience supporting a wide range of chronic conditions with nutritional therapy. I am experienced in many types of functional testing: DNA, OAT, MICROBIOME, DUTCH HORMONES, DIETARY ANTIGEN TESTING etc and appreciate the importance of an evidence based approach to the pursuit of health and longevity.
