Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Certified Health Coach Kim Shackleford offers an evidence-informed, client-centered approach that helps you address chronic symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support long-term wellness. Her work focuses on uncovering the root contributors to dysfunction, such as leaky gut, immune imbalances, pathogenic and inflammatory stressors, toxic load burden, or nutrient deficiencies, through individualized precision nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
In today’s world, we’re exposed to thousands of toxins daily, through our food, water, air, and even the products we use on our skin. From plastic particles found in our tissues and brains, to pesticide residues like glyphosate, heavy metals, mold toxins, and endocrine disruptors,these invisible stressors are contributing to what many call “mystery illnesses.” But they’re not a mystery when you look at the cell.
Are you stuck on the hamster wheel of social media protocols, chasing the next “big” supplement, or cycling through restrictive diets—yet still not seeing real results?
It’s not that you’re not trying. It’s that you don’t have a clear, phase-by-phase plan that goes deep enough to address the real issue: cellular dysfunction.
Healing requires a terrain-focused framework and restoration strategy—the right steps, in the right order, guided by someone who understands how to support the body at every level.
