The Brainbow® Blueprint

Bioindividuality
Considering your BioIndividuality, I analyze your biology, genomics, and the environmental and cultural milieu that have shaped your health, developing a precision approach that illuminates your nutritional needs and your metabolic and detoxification pathways. This important first step lets me fine-tune and personalize other interventions you choose.
Adherence Strategies
Even the best program of health and self-care will not work if it’s not engaged consistently. With Adherence Strategies, I provide methods to help you tackle the 5 barriers to change in a focused, lighthearted, and shame-free way.
Altered States
Altered States entail embracing our natural capacities to alter our consciousness for healing while reducing ways we might self-medicate that lead to unwanted side effects. A potent method to improve depression, PTSD, anxiety, and loss of hope is the guided and judicious use of plants or medicines like psychedelics that alter consciousness and improve self-regulation. I evaluate whether you are a candidate for a variety of these methods.
Spirituality
In whatever form it feels right for you, Spirituality can help you make meaning of your life, find your purpose, and catalyze profound change. I can help you explore the power of myth and art, the wisdom of dreams, the practice of meditation, and the possibility of post-traumatic growth.
Breath
Breath is life itself. Methods to enhance and control respiration are essential to mental and physical health. When your breathing becomes conscious – with specific exercises I tailor for your symptoms – you have available at any time of the day a gentle yet powerful way to improve mental health conditions.
Somatics & Bodywork
Somatics & Bodywork comprise many methods of therapeutic touch that aid with sleep, pain, focus, and digestion. I recommend methods that will help you reconnect with your body to ground, energize, and relax.
Exercise
Exercise has numerous benefits. With so many types, how do you know what combinations are best for you and your health goals? I explore your history with exercise and use the science of exercise to personalize it to your needs, alleviate your symptoms, and boost your mood.
Hydrotherapy/Detoxification
With Hydrotherapy, I can teach you how to use water and different temperatures to reduce pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, aid digestion, and improve your overall cognitive function and mood. Detoxification includes gentle methods that I personalize to your needs and that assist your body and brain in eliminating toxins.
Herbal Medicine
Herbs are powerful natural healing agents. Many of their substances are the mother of pharmaceuticals. Incorporating Herbal Medicine into your health program is an organic process; I may suggest herbs that reduce fatigue, pain, and digestive upset, and enhance mood and focus.
Supplements
Supplementation addresses common nutrient deficiencies that affect physical and mental health. These can arise from your stress level, diet, use of certain medications, or genetic needs. I pinpoint beneficial supplements and check for drug-supplement-herb interactions to ensure you’re getting optimal support.
Culinary Medicine
Culinary Medicine frees you to follow the diet that is right for you, rather than fads or ideology. I help you discover whether you are biologically a vegetarian, a carnivore, or somewhere in between, and guide you to find tasty and easy ways to nourish and heal yourself with food.
Digestion
Without a doubt, Digestion affects your mind and mood. We can incorporate various methods to heal and optimize your “gut” so you can absorb the foods, nutrients, and herbs you take, addressing chronic digestive illness such as IBS, IBD, colitis, GERD, and more.
Human & Animal Relationship
Human/Animal Relationships with animal companions, emotional support, and service animals can all play a role in helping you heal from anxiety, PTSD, and complex trauma. I can help evaluate your readiness and support you in taking this step.
Culture
In the Brainbow Blueprint®, culture refers to individual and collective values and practices as they inform health. It includes the role of ethnic heritage and identity as it influences bio-individuality and genomics and extends into all aspects of personal identity, including sex and gender. Culture intersects with health as a protective, resilient influence and as a risk factor, where discrimination results. Culture connects to mental health—the meaning we make of symptoms and the role of cultural trauma. Culture is the root of who we are; the root words of culture, cult (worship) and ure, (earth), refer to worship of the earth. Cultural practices root us in the earth, even as we gaze toward the sky.
Nature
Getting into Nature and engaging with outdoor activities can provide you with a powerful means of decreasing anxiety, depression, and stress, and also increases your ability to build relationships. I use many of nature’s medicines to support your innate capacity to heal.
Biological Rhythms/Hormones
Depression, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and insomnia are linked to a disruption of Biological Rhythms and Hormones. When we rebalance these innate rhythms naturally, your mood improves and we rebuild your health from the ground up.
Integrative Assessment
The Integrative Assessment allows me to put the puzzle pieces together to see your full health story. This includes a comprehensive physical, emotional, cognitive, and trauma history and may include a variety of functional laboratory tests.

A Full-Spectrum Approach to Health and Healing

You came into the world with a natural capacity to integrate your experiences, and that included an innate ability to heal.

By being born into the modern world, your educational experiences and the career specialization you gravitated toward reinforced ways of perceiving the world (and yourself) where, quite naturally, you lost some degree of contact with these capacities.

There Are Ways to Reconnect Your Innate Ability to Heal

Like most people, you have also probably experienced how trauma and illness add to the disconnection your body, mind, and spirit experience and further narrow your “bandwidth.”

But having spent 45 years developing the field of integrative medicine for mental health, I’ve found that no matter how unwell you feel, there are ways to reconnect with your innate ability to heal and improve your physical, mental, and emotional health.

To enable deep healing to take place (rather than only the suppression of symptoms), your health care practitioners should embrace an approach that treats you as a whole person and restores your healing capacity.

How The Brainbow Blueprint® Works

One of the cornerstones of integrative medicine is the fact that the psyche (our mind-spirit) and the soma (our body) are two sides of one coin.

Working with one side without the other often leads to “side” effects, imbalances, and even roadblocks to healing.

Despite the promises of many enthusiastic practitioners or diet proponents, there is no cookie-cutter approach for improving your health.

With the Brainbow Blueprint®, I start by using genomic testing to help you understand more deeply who you are on a biological level and how you might respond to all the methods available.

The integration you experience is greater than what is commonly included in integrative medicine, because the Brainbow Blueprint® includes bio-individuality, cultural and ethnic considerations, culinary and herbal medicine, bodywork, spirituality and meaning-making, among 16 different areas you can choose from and incorporate.
