The Five Reasons You Are Still Struggling With Your Digestion
You're exhausted and overwhelmed. Despite visiting countless practitioners and possibly spending thousands of dollars in search of answers, you're still facing the persistent challenges of Crohn's disease or Colitis with minimal or no lasting improvement.
Occasionally, you might notice a slight reprieve from the debilitating abdominal pain, disruptive bowel habits, and unrelenting fatigue, but these improvements are fleeting Even when the results seem to stick, they plateau, leaving you managing the same old symptoms rather than fully recovering. You find yourself still battling significant discomfort, frequent and urgent bowel movements, systemic inflammation, and a constant cloud of anxiety. Despite your efforts, you don't feel vibrant or truly alive; you're simply not feeling like yourself.
We’re talking about a revolutionary, evidence-based approach to healing through customized clinical nutrition
This method goes beyond what your bloodwork shows. It goes beyond one-size-fitsall protocols. It’s highly specific and customized to you.
We’ll go into how this works in more detail later, but for now I’d like to share with you the reasons why you’re not getting the results you’re seeking in your healing journey. Some of them may surprise you…
YOURNERVOUSSYSTEMISINASTATEOF CONFUSION.
This is one of the primary reasons why patients achieve temporary, variable, or minimal results when attempting to handle a health condition with more medical or even more natural or “alternative” methods. You see, your nervous system is vital when it comes to healing.
Your nervous system is also your body’s regulator. It supports your body’s adaptability to the stress of an ever-changing environment. This includes not just your physical environment, but your mental and emotional environments.
There are two key components to your central nervous system that operate like the gas and brakes in your car. The gas pedal - or sympathetic nervous systemenables you to adapt to stressors in your environment and is in charge of your day to day living At other times, your body needs to apply its brake pedal - the parasympathetic nervous system - to allow for resting and digesting.
When you learn to drive, you learn when to apply the gas and when to apply the brakes - otherwise, you’re not going to get very far. There’s a necessary balance, a rhythm between the two, that allows you to drive forward safely. The same applies to your nervous system Your body’s ability to balance between the two components, between the sympathetic and parasympathetic, is key for healing to happen.
If your body gets stuck in one or the other (the gas/sympathetic or brakes/parasympathetic), its ability to function becomes compromised. It’s a confusing state for your body to be in as all other systems - digestive, immune, endocrine, you name it - rely on cues from a balanced nervous system to do their jobs. Over time this sets the stage for disease to develop and declining health This is also the main reason why healing interventions performed in the past have minimal or no results or may even make conditions worse. It is also why people who have spent years looking for alternative approaches to their conditions are stuck in their healing process.
Dr. Erika’s The Resiliency Method™ identifies the reasons why a client’s nervous system may be overburdened or not performing its job properly. Through specific testing procedures, we uncover stressors that distract the nervous system from functioning optimally. This often looks like miraculous results for patients, when in fact we are simply uncovering what had the body blocked in the healing process in the first place.

Let’s face it, we are inundated with information about the latest and greatest diet fad or trend that promises weight loss and optimal health The reality is that the latest diet trend or approach worked for the individual or author of that diet book/article but may not work for you. Extensive clinical experience has shown that while there are basic principles most people can benefit from, for the most part each person’s ideal diet is as unique as they are. Diet programs will have you believe that healthy eating and weight management is a calorie counting game and that as long as you are within the appropriate calorie counts you will see results. This can work at first or at times, but the moment you let go of the counting, the pounds return and sometimes even faster than before
Our approach recognizes that it is more about the types of foods and combinations of foods that provide the proper nutrients and requirements for your body. It also recognizes that, especially at middle age and beyond, weight loss becomes more complex and specific organs and systems need to be addressed to restore metabolism and proper digestion. It is essential to reverse the process of fat storing to fat burning, especially as aging occurs and hormones change
The reality is, after years of eating processed and chemical-laden foods most of us are dealing with some level of digestive unrest (whether our symptoms are showing as digestive issues or not) The instability of the digestive system combined with unidentified immune challenges and toxic burdens cause oversensitivity to foods that are consumed.
Continuing to eat these foods will contribute to the blazing fire of chronic inflammation burning within your body, perpetuating symptoms of fatigue, bloating, constipation, pain, poor sleep, depression, etc. Through blood testing in conjunction with Dr. Erika’s Resiliency Method™ we are able to quickly and easily identify foods that are contributing to the endless cycle of inflammation plaguing your body and causing inflammation
Eliminating these foods for 60-90 days will support and balance the digestive system to decrease inflammation so the gut can properly heal.
This specific process saves time and frustration for the patient who can often get overwhelmed with extensive food elimination diets.
With time, however, we can actually restore the gut (and the immune system) so that the worst food sensitivities can actually be REVERSED.
This is a promise that many clinicians/dieticians/nutritionists cannot make to their clients! It’s an indication that they haven’t uncovered a systematic method for healing from food sensitivities– which is what The Resiliency Method™ can do.

In the world of nutrition there are good and not-so-good supplements. This can depend on a lot of factors, including raw materials, manufacturing processes and other chemical additives sometimes added. We only work with the highest grade whole food, herbal and homeopathic supplements offered only through licensed healthcare providers and are comparable to the cost of commercial products. Nutraceutical or synthetic supplements can sometimes serve a purpose for a short while but over the long run serve only as a band-aid fix. They don’t get to the root cause of why the body needs the nutrient over and over again
Filling in nutritional gaps based only on blood testing is a leaky bucket approach. It will often bring blood levels back up, but it’s still not fully addressing why the bucket has holes in it. While addressing a health issue with a vitamin/supplement is often more useful than a drug, the approach is still symptom management when attempting to only fill in the gaps with missing nutrients.
Judith DeCava author of The Real Truth About Vitamins and Antioxidants, defines the difference between replacing lost nutrients with synthetic vitamins versus whole foods:
“Nature does not produce vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, or any other food components in concentrated or segregated forms, but merges and blends them, synchronizes them, for the body’s needs ”
“The idea that ‘if a little is good, more is better’ leads to ingestion of mega doses of ‘high potency’, refined, separated ‘nutrients', dismantled, disassembled, or artificially manufactured chemical supplements. This will ‘work’ for a short time, pharmacologically stimulating or suppressing. Eventually, this method backfires and causes complications, imbalances. The body works to eliminate the excess and what it perceives as foreign, non-food. It attempts to combine the isolated chemical and other members of the complex, which normally appear in food, taking rather than giving Such supplements do not contribute to health, they only disrupt it Balance and function, not quantity, are the keys ”
When it comes to nutritional supplements there is no shortage of advice about which products we should ALL be taking. A short while ago the claim was that we all need to be taking turmeric. Before that, magnesium was the nutrient in which we were all deficient. Nowadays, CBD is the answer to every ache and pain and health issue. While there is some validity in the promises of each of these nutrients, the truth is they may or may not be right for your biochemistry
With the combined use of blood testing and Dr. Erika’s Resiliency Method™, a whole food nutrition based and customized program is implemented in order to improve organ and cellular health.
Dr. Erika and her team have access to over 300 high grade quality supplements. They are time tested quality supplements to produce effective clinical results, however, it does not mean you should take any or all of them The important thing is to figure out which nutrients your body is deficient in and address the organs that are contributing to that deficiency.
With The Resiliency Method™ we will address and reverse the genetic patterns that lead the body to having a regular need for a particular supplement. That's true root-cause healing.

Most people dealing with chronic conditions such as Chron’s Disease/Colitis have been dealing with their health issues for years, sometimes since childhood. Because a symptom is your body’s last resort to indicate that there has been an imbalance for an extended period of time, it is unrealistic to expect that the issue will resolve overnight Medications are designed to act quickly and thank goodness we have them for emergency situations. Outside these situations medications only cover up a symptom; they don’t actually HEAL a condition
Nutritional healing corrects an issue at its root by healing the organ, tissue and cell that are contributing to the deficiency. When we correct issues at their source we see symptoms that seem unrelated simultaneously resolve, appearing as miraculous events. Symptom improvement can be seen in a relatively short time frame which is encouraging and a customized nutritional healing program provides the inspiration needed for a client to stay committed to their healing process. Symptom improvement and/or disappearance, however, does not indicate good health The reality is, most health conditions are complex, and are caused by more than one stressor in the body.
For example, if a condition has been present for 20 years it is not realistic to expect that it will completely disappear within a couple of months on a healing program (although most of our clients see symptom improvements within just a few weeks).
Using Dr Erika’s Resiliency Method™ and highly specific laboratory testing along with high grade quality supplements we see conditions reverse and completely resolve in the most efficient timeframes possible.
YOUDON’TKNOWWHATYOUDON’T KNOW
Most of us are quite aware that when it comes to our health there are specific things that we know we know For example, the doctor says our cholesterol is high We know this as an indicator of a less than ideal situation and that something is off in the body.
We also know what we do not know. Most people will then immediately ask a few questions of the doctor and may even turn to the internet and spend endless hours researching articles, studies and blogs to better understand their situation.
What we do not understand is that there is a REASON behind the Chron’s/Colitis diagnosis.
What we also may not know is that any number of causes can cause chronic conditions in the body and so when the source of the imbalance is identified, multiple issues that otherwise seem unrelated can be resolved, issues you would see multiple different doctors for using traditional medical care
What is the solution? Get answers. Identify the factors that contribute to you and your unique biochemistry with highly customized testing. Then, get specific solutions for you
It is unlikely you would try to fix something as complex as your vehicle on your own when it breaks down. Be willing to be coached so that your greatest asset, your body, is no longer a guessing game
THESOLUTION
The human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. The innate ability to maintain health and heal disease is always present and expresses itself as much as it is allowed to do so. The body naturally heals itself when it is given the tools to do so. Our primary focus is to identify anything that can interfere with the body’s natural healing potential and to support the process by nourishing it with optimal nutrition.
The process we take is the culmination of decades of research and clinical testing. The technique has assisted thousands of people world-wide to recover from health problems and regain their health and well being. It works because it allows Dr. Erika and her team to identify the underlying stressors blocking the healing process. The most common underlying stressors are food sensitivities, low grade immune challenges, heavy metal stress, chemical toxicities, and even scars. Because of the current state of our food supply and our environment, nearly everyone is being affected by these stressors to some degree. The interesting thing is that these stressors are relatively recent phenomena and are usually not found with standard medical testing.
In cases where hidden stressors are contributing to health problems, the root cause needs to be addressed before optimal healing and recovery can occur. The testing utilizes “applied kinesiology,” a science originally developed in the 1940’s. Applied Kinesiology (AK) or “muscle testing” is used around the world by a wide variety of healthcare practitioners- both in person and in a remote fashion applying the principles of Quantum Physics. The technique combines several different applications of applied kinesiology and is a repeatable form of analysis that can quickly and noninvasively shed light on imbalances and deficiencies. That said, not all muscle testing techniques or clinicians are the same, and the true brilliance of applying these practices is in the actual analysis being performed.
Dr. Erika’sResiliency Method™, is a systematic, repeatable and workable way for uncovering such hidden stressors and finding the most effective means of handling them. Using this method in conjunction with highly specific and sensitive laboratory testing can quickly and accurately determine WHERE the problem is, what is CAUSING the problem, and what DIETARY CHANGE or specific SUPPLEMENTATION is needed to address the health issue.
Thousands of people have been helped by this amazing approach to healthcare. Isn’t it your turn?
