ABOUT BOBBIE JO
My name is Bobbie Jo Redl and I am a certified Functional Nutrition Counselor. My journey into health & fitness began when I was around 12 years old. I was one of two girls in middle school that found out that they had scoliosis. For the next 5 years I wore a back brace and did certain exercises daily. After high school I started lifting weights and competed in dance and to this day I stay active. I enjoy swimming, biking, walking and dancing. In addition to Functional Nutrition Counseling I am also a certified instructor in Aerobics, Aqua and Pilates.
In 2014 I was experiencing acid reflux, a chronic health condition and my doctors approach was conventional medicine and he prescribed Prilosec. It was not effective and my condition worsened. My doctors advice was to up the dosage. I was not comfortable with attempting to treat the symptom with drugs that come with unwanted side effects and not treating the underlying issue.
This caused me to seek out and find a holistic health & nutrition practitioner and it was a life changer. I was now addressing the root cause through nutrition, and with great success. I’ve always believed that the body wants to heal itself, you just need to listen to its cues and support it.
My lifelong passion for health, fitness and nutrition has become something that now as a Functional Nutrition Counselor I am able to share with individuals from all walks of life, guiding them on their own journey to better health and wellness.
The Best is Yet to Come!
ABOUT BALANCE AND BLOOM
At Balance and Bloom I work with you as an individual. I look at your symptoms as indicators of the real issue that we are working on and addressing through lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and nutritional supplements. Functional nutrition counseling involves a personalized approach to health and wellness that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than just treating symptoms.
Functional nutrition counseling integrates nutrition science with a holistic understanding of how various systems in the body work together. Practitioners of functional nutrition assess factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental influences to develop individualized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. The goal is to optimize health by supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms and promoting overall well-being.
