Our Story

Josh and Jeanne are revolutionizing nutrition for thyroid health by teaching people how to use food as supplementation, reduce stress and build the most sound foundation for the body to heal. After many years of following the functional medicine path coupled with teaching people about “healthy” food Josh and Jeanne began to see some common trends. People began qualifying themselves by their labs, resulting in increased anxiety, hyper-focus on disease and a devastating blow to the overall health of the individual. Another very interesting observation was the enormous spectrum by which food affected one person vs. another. Digging deeper into the effects of food on human physiology and the work of endocrinology and physiology masterminds such as Ray Peat, Constance Martin, Dr. John Lee, Hans Selye and a handful of others, Josh and Jeanne began to recognize the health of the metabolism and the different effects the environment can have on two different, yet similar beings. Underlying these differences are genetics, life experiences, nutrition, lifestyle habits and the effects of stress on the nervous system; the story. And underlying this story, working very hard to maintain health, is the living cell. “For us to understand disease we must first understand the living cell.”- Dr. Bieber. The role of thyroid hormone in every single cell in the body signifies the importance in having a healthy, functioning thyroid. Inspired by the work of Dr. Broda Barnes, Josh and Jeanne were able to develop a very effective and comprehensive approach to creating the perfect nutritional foundation aimed at restoring energy metabolism. Using food as supplementation Josh and Jeanne have transformed the lives of hundreds of people around the world by working with them to create the perfect nutrition plan. They do not believe in fixing or suppressing symptoms, but do believe when you provide the body adequate resources to meet the demands of that individual body, the intelligence of the human body takes over and healing unfolds. They believe the greatest defense one has against the ever-changing environment is the health of the metabolism. When the metabolism is strong and the thyroid is functioning, all systems are working in synergy, just as they are meant to. Josh and Jeanne pride themselves on their individualization and attention to detail. They believe unless the time is taken to listen to individual stories, to hear the story, to acknowledge the story and to respond appropriately to the story, health will be lost. To achieve optimal health they have learned it is imperative we learn more about these vessels we inhabit throughout our lives and how to support them. Josh and Jeanne are giving people back what is rightfully theirs, their health and their lives. Health is simple, so why is it so few have it? Because as a society we have been trained to look to someone or something to heal us and abandoned the simple laws of nature. Josh and Jeanne are teaching people how to use food to resource their body in new ways, which in turn is building a bridge for complete mind, body and spirit growth and transformation. They have spent the past 15 years building an approach to healing grounded in the health and innate properties of nature. They both have very different stories but have found by applying what they are going to teach you, have achieved greater health today then ever before in their lives. They believe that the best coach is one that has walked the walk. As Albert Einstein said, “the only source of knowledge is experience.” Josh and Jeanne have been in the shoes of their clients. They have walked step by step and live their lives based on the philosophy they teach. They know it works first hand and are excited to get to share what they have learned with you.
