Complex Health Issues

Are you experiencing chronic health problems that are impacting your quality of life or ability to perform optimally? Have you seen “every doctor” and specialist with no one able to solve your problem?

OYMN continually works with individuals, including professional athletes, who are frustrated while stuck in a rut when facing mysterious health issues that they cannot seem to find the solutions for.

These problems greatly influence the efficacy and progress of the nutrition programming. Therefore, OYMN offers an Investigative Nutrition service to help individuals reach their true potential for a resolution and restoration of health.

Investigate the Clues to Find the Health Puzzle Pieces

There are different areas of health that serve as the puzzle pieces to investigate. Any dysfunction in the specific area requires changes to restore their function. These areas include:

  • Nutritional Deficiencies

  • Hormone Imbalance

  • Gut Dysfunction

  • Gut-Brain Dysfunction

  • Thyroid Dysfunction

  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction

  • Adrenal Dysfunction

 

Time is invested in gathering plenty of data that includes measurable variables as well as extensively communication with the individual and others of value surrounding the individual (e.g., significant other, trainers, coaches, etc.). All of the info acquired serve as clues to determine the etiology (i.e., cause) of the chronic problem.

  • Personal Health & Family Health History

  • Current and Former Lab Work

  • Data from OYMN Testing

  • Lifestyle Habits

  • Details Regarding Specific Competitions/Games/Races

  • Home and/or Training Environment

  • More

After investing time in carefully investigating the areas mentioned above, Katie takes all of that information and searches the published literature. The analysis is carried out through the lens of what is in the context of the individual.

Evidenced-Based Approach

Solving complex health problems is an art and a science. “Evidence-based” is the ability to take what is published in research and then using professional expertise synthesize it in the context of the individual.

Katie holds a Master’s in Public Health and a Master of Science in Nutrition from Tufts School of Medicine where she’s trained in epidemiology and analysis. She has 3 years of experience in neuroscience research where she conducted her own neuroscience project with Miami University’s Dr. Dawn Blitz. Most importantly, she spends much of her free time researching and thinking critically about complex cases and continually stays up-to-date on the latest research.

The Process

Working one-on-one with Katie to solve your complex health issue is a separate “program” than the nutrition programming (two different services). This requires:

  • At least 3 months of working together in a team-based approach

  • Follow through

  • The agreement to conduct specific tests that are required to help solve the problem
