Hi, I am Casie Shepherd, an integrative health coach and founder of Spectrum Wellness. I work with a variety of clients, but the goal is always to optimize your body by looking deeper. A lot of people use the term "root cause" but we will most likely never know the actual root cause. Instead, we look at your health history and symptoms, then look at more of the internal systems to determine what deeper issues need testing. From there, we can decide the highest priority of imbalance and allow those systems to start to heal so they can carry over into others. The coaching and consulting I do is all encompassing from the testing we look at, your lifestyle, stress management, your nutrition, and your workouts/activity level. MIND-BODY-SPIRIT.

​

I do a variety of testing such as GI-MAP DNA stool analysis for gut dysbiosis, HTMA hair analysis testing for mineral/heavy metals, comprehensive lab testing for hormone/metabolic imbalances, and food sensitivity testing. Depending on the client's needs, we can dive even further into other toxicities, food and environmental sensitivities/allergies, and much more.  Digestion and absorption play a crucial role in the body’s ability to have the right nutrients and utilizing those nutrients to run effectively. Our microbiome, inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, mineral imbalances, and the way our cells are utilizing nutrients plays a huge role in our overall health. When we have a lot of gut dysbiosis, internal inflammation, and hormone imbalances, the entire system starts to fall apart. 

​

Even if your goal is to just get into amazing shape, you truly do that by optimizing everything at a deeper level. Allowing your body to function on all cylinders, utilize the food you are intaking at the highest level by digesting/absorbing it properly, keeping your hormones in a more balanced state so you have the lean muscle and can lose body fat, AND not overdoing it just to get there. Finding a plan to work with the flow of your body so your body CAN do what it is designed to do. Most people keep pushing their system into more and more stress working against problems that are deeply rooted and don't even understand why it's so hard for them to reach their goals. 

​

Regardless of where the issue started, or what phase of your health journey you are in, this deeper testing and balancing work can bring your health to the next level. I have several coaching and consulting packages available and am happy to discuss the best options for your needs!
