Hello!  I am Alyssa Ciampi.  I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.  It was my own health crisis that led me to fully understand all that was involved in what makes us sick.  In the fall of 2017, my health plummeted so much I lost 30 pounds in the space of two months, I made many trips to the ER, saw many practitioners, and when I was at my worst, put on a drug for anxiety.  Due to an unexpected pregnancy and then later a miscarriage, I was forced to go off the anxiety medication cold turkey.  Come to find out later, I needed to wean off those medications slowly but because of the pregnancy I did not and suffered severe consequences to my entire system including my brain.  Fortunately, I was lead to an intelligent and compassionate chiropractor neurologist who practices functional medicine.  He was able to piece together my complex health puzzle to reveal that I was suffering from so much more than drug withdrawal including adrenal fatigue, impaired digestion, mineral imbalances, structural imbalances, and brain imbalances giving insight into my ten+ years of dealing with chronic pain, insomnia, digestive issues, and anxiety.  It was through his expertise I learned the power of treating the whole person and decided to get involved with helping others not to have the experience I did.   The foundation of all health begins with what we eat so I joined the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) and became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in November of 2019. The education I received at the NTA was exceptional and showed me how much our culture has gotten away from eating nutrient-dense, nourishing, whole foods to prevent dis-ease.  Little did I know that this health crisis would lead to an undeveloped passion and hidden calling!  I went on to study with Restorative Wellness Solutions and am trained in advanced functional testing as well.  I understand the heartache and disappointment from years of unrealized symptom relief and health improvement.  I am passionate and dedicated to finding the real root cause of my client's health issues and educating them to understand the beautiful and healthy way God designed their bodies to work!
