I, Dr. Whitney will be moving out of AZ which means, Quantum Body Optimization will be seeing its last patient March 27th, 2026!

Healing is a journey to the depths of your soul…

Where you peel back the layers to discover the purest, most authentic parts of yourself.

What NET teaches us, is that we are not defined by our experiences & circumstances, that we can release & let go of those things that prevent us from being the highest versions of ourselves

It also teaches us; we are not to do it alone.

It is time to prioritize yourself, to peel back the layers & allow the best part of you to surface & to thrive.

You deserve to heal.

Healing doesn’t have to be complicated even when it feels like your health is all over the place!

The body is innately designed and connected, allowing for big shifts with simple changes.

If you’re feeling disconnected and lost in your health journey, let’s make it simple and sustainable to bring you back to yourself with more energy, better sleep and less pain!

If you have nagging pain that is preventing you from living your best life there’s a few things that must be considered!

The body while complicated is beautifully designed and does no wrong, it does everything in its power to keep you moving, until it can’t any longer!

While the body might be complicated healing doesn’t t have to be!

Healing most often needs a full body approach, taking into consideration all of the factors that make you human & removing the things that are blocking its ability to heal!

If you feel like you’ve done all of the things to get out of pain and back into action, but are still suffering with nagging pain, it’s time for a different and deeper approach that allows you to connect all the dots and hit strikes with treatment instead of chasing things down one by one!

If you are someone who feels like you are doing all the right things without the results equivalent to your efforts It might be time to start looking at your nervous system regulation & unresolved stress patterns aka emotions!

The issues are in the tissues!

Do you have constant, nagging low back pain?

Does your low back pain flare and take you out for days or weeks and then randomly resolve?

Does your low back pain keep coming back randomly without cause?

Low back pain is one of the biggest complaints to walk through my door and most often, it’s not caused by what you would think.

If you feel like you have tried everything from massage, to stretching, ice packs and heating pads, ibuprofen to physical therapy but still have low back pain plaquing your life, it’s time to look deeper.

The root cause is often not what you think, however when address properly gives you the freedom to resolving your low back pain & getting back to your active life, free of pain!

When it comes to food causing inflammation in the body i usually always start with eliminating the 3 big hitters: gluten, diary and sugar

I never want to take people off of meat, fruit or veggies unless it is totally necessary

So we focus on the big 3, eliminating them for 30-90 days to see what improves.

Usually we get massive improvement and help the body heal so that picking out whole foods isn’t necessary.

However if you are someone who suffers from joint pain in more than one joint at a time, we might have to dig a little deeper.

In this case we usually aim to eliminate all the veggies that fall under the nightshade family.

Join me on August 29th at 6pmPST for The Hidden War of Food Sensitivities: Body Under Siege MasterClass to find out what these vegetables are, why they specifically impact your joints & the easiest way to reduce your pain and inflammation so you can get back to your active life, free of pain.

In this masterclass we will also cover everything you need to know about food sensitivities, how they are impacting your health & what to do about it!!

Food sensitivities or food intolerances are different from food allergies but we often hear all of the terms used interchangeably.

However, there is a big difference and it is important to understand it, especially if you have true food allergies!

One thing you know for sure, that even without knowing what the difference is exactly, you know that the food is bothersome to you in some way.

Some people get digestive issues, some people break out in hives, others have more subtle reactions like breaking out in acne a few days later or even eczema over time.

Did you know different foods often result in different symptoms?

Do you know the real impact of food sensitivities wreaking havoc on your body?

If you have painful and achy joints and muscles, skin issues, fatigue, trouble losing weight & insomnia, you might be suffering from food sensitivities.

LET’S CHAT BLOOD SUGAR ROLLER COASTER⁣
🎢⁣
You know what I’m talking about. You take too long to eat a meal, you get 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐘, sweaty, lightheaded, irritable & your brain stops working.⁣
⁣
You then go ham on some food & 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐒𝐒𝐒 because your brain needs glucose asap!⁣
⁣
After, you’re not only stuffed full but feel so much better now that your brain can function again…⁣
⁣
Then about 30mins to 1 hour after you 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡 & 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝.⁣
⁣
You’re exhausted, ready for a nap, maybe have some brain fog and you’re ready to call it a day!⁣
⁣
That my friend, is the 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫.⁣
⁣
There is 𝘯𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦. And it’s almost impossible to get off of it unless you prime your day with a balanced meal that sets your blood sugar up for success.⁣
⁣
When your blood sugar takes a nosedive, your adrenals have to fire out 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥 to help regulate the blood sugar to bring it back up to normal levels to keep you going. ⁣
⁣
If your blood sugar is constantly crashing throughout the day, that demand takes a toll on your adrenals to be in high gear, as blood sugar dysregulation is a huge stress to your body, it starts a vicious cycle. ⁣
⁣
Or chances are due to some other lifestyle factors the cycle has already started, making this roller coaster a little more complicated to get off of because it’s surrounded by 🔥FIRE 🔥(inflammation)🔥⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘖𝘓𝘜𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕:⁣
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭⁣
🥩High Protein - steak & eggs🍳⁣
🥑Moderate fat - avocado⁣
🫐Low/Moderate carb (depending on activity level) - dark berries & sweet potato hash🍠⁣

Muscles are one of the storage organs for glucose (sugar).⁣
💪🏼⁣
It is stored in muscles as glycogen and is used for energy!⁣

Walking for just 10 - 30 mins after each meal will increase the uptake of glucose out of the blood and into the muscles, lowering your blood sugar immediately.

This also helps increase insulin sensitivity, meaning that your body will more effectively utilize the sugar & get it out of the blood faster.
⁣
The amazing thing about having a solid amount of muscle mass is that trained muscle has a higher capacity for glucose storage, meaning it can take more out of the blood & faster, helping lower your blood sugar back to normal.

This also means that depending on the intensity and duration of exercise, your blood sugar regulation can be optimized & you’ll have more flexibility with your nutrition (macros) and create metabolic resilience.⁣

𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫:⁣

🍩 Cut the donuts (all other sugar, processed foods, breads, pasta, soda,etc)⁣

🏋🏼‍♀️Strength Train at least 3 times a week⁣

🏃‍♂️Take a 10- 30 min walk after meals⁣
