Talk Description

Action Potential: Sparking the Change in Health Care

Deep within your nervous system are unique and mighty cells called neurons. The neurons have long arms named axons. Its along these axons that messages are relayed and action, throughout the body, is manifested. Similarly, by drawing on the central wisdom of the body, and gaining a deeper understanding of what’s actually happening within an individual’s physiology, we too have the power to inspire a person’s potential to change. This action potential results in healing not just one body, but a population. Andrea Nakayama is a Functional Nutritionist and Educator well-versed in the art of healing. She invites you, through story and metaphor to consider your own role, as a healer or individual, in changing the course of medicine and health care.

About Andrea

As a functional nutritionist, I work as your personal private investigator to help you get to the root cause of your health challenges and manage dietary changes that might otherwise seem daunting. I provide the bridge between what you put on your plate and what you are learning from your doctors so that the keys to your health reveal themselves and you are empowered to enact your innate healing potential.
