Our guest this week is Functional Nutritionist Christine Cernera. Her wellness journey has included many unpleasant side effects such as yo-yo weight loss, anxiety, fatigue and digestive issues. Christine has always recognized the importance of exercise but the missing piece for her has always been nutrition. In a world where it gets more and more confusing to know what we should eat, the realization, through Christines experience and education, that going back to whole, nutrient-dense, properly prepared foods was the key to her success and the success she works with and mentors.
Christine Cernera has a goal to empower individuals to reclaim their health through nutrition/lifestyle education and support. She wants everyone to be gifted with good health that comes from being mindful of what you eat while at the same time enjoying life. The two are not mutually exclusive.
In practice, Christine begins with a thorough functional evaluation to identify organ systems under stress and then prioritize support accordingly. As each organ system is surrounded by a network (NEURO (brain), VASCULAR (blood vessel), or NEURO-LYMPHATIC (lymph vessels).
When an organ system becomes stressed, blood and/or lymph surround these networks in an effort to draw the necessary nutrients to support the organ. This collection of fluid takes up space at the organ system and registers as tenderness in the body.
The Functional Evaluation is completed by palpating a series of points identified to correlate to specific organs or systems in the body. Each client is given a scale of 0-10 and asked to rate their own tenderness. Each client's baseline is different and custom to your own body, but allows Christine to connect directly with the body's innate response to nutritional deficiencies.
Lingual-Neuro Testing
Lingual-Neuro Testing is a biofeedback tool that enables Christine to determine the usefulness of a nutritional supplement before it is dispensed. LNT accesses the body's innate ability to discriminate between what it needs, and what it does not need, in order to correct a specific problem, for example, a weak organ or a nutritional deficiency.
This simple and effective technique makes the difference between a generic nutritional therapy plan and a personalized one.
The Functional Evaluation gives Christine the ability to communicate directly with your body and understand what you need and customize a nutritional plan to support optimal health.
