​Why WelBoxx
Welboxx helps you identify and eliminate what is ailing you. Most of us know we need to make some lifestyle changes to experience better health and vitality. The trouble is HOW do we make those changes? Somewhere along the way we’ve stopped eating real food. We can’t figure out what is real and what is processed. Everyone is confused and hearing so many mixed messages.
We are overweight yet undernourished. We are literally starving for nutrients. And what we are left with, after years of poor eating, are a whole lot of ailments. We are overweight, sick, weak, tired, have autoimmune diseases, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, colitis, IBS, autism, ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s, migraines, and blood sugar imbalances. You name it—we’ve got it. We are needlessly suffering. Welboxx believes the answers are right under our noses.
‘Food is the most powerful medicine available to heal chronic disease” – Dr. Mark Hyman, M.D.
Rethink everything you’ve ever heard about what healthy eating really is and keep an open mind. We eat very poorly in this country and we need to get back to basics. Our bodies have nutritional needs that can only be met by eating real whole foods. You cannot possibly get what you need from these food-like products that are stripped of their vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber.
“Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food” Hippocrates
Welboxx provides a holistic, integrative approach to cure and prevent disease with nutrition. We empower people to be their own healers.

​
I was very ill. My entire body hurt, I was diagnosed with Scleroderma and Hashimotos thyroiditis_ both autoimmune diseases. I had debilitating migraines, reflux, and IBS, high cholesterol and pericarditis. I was so sick that it almost felt as if going from doctor to doctor had become a full-time job trying to figure out what was wrong with me. At one point I was seeing a- rheumatologist, neurologist, endocrinologist, gynecological oncologist, and a cardiologist— and none of them had answers.
​
They put me on various medications, from thyroid meds, antibiotics, arthritis meds, acid reflux meds and steroids but nothing helped. I had been put on several medications to simply quell the symptoms. At there in lied the problem. I had never corrected the problems, never found the root cause of the problems which led to these issues eventually turning into even bigger issues years later. Brain tumor, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, miscarriages, weight gain and severe muscle breakdown and weakness. I had to crawl on the floor somedays to take care of my babies and realized that this was insane. There had to be a better way because this—was not working!
​
I first put myself on a food elimination diet.– the doctors all said I was nuts and there was a lot of eye rolling. I was told not to waste my time and just take the med’s. It was annoying but I was determined. I changed my diet dramatically and my lifestyle and also learned everything I could about natural supplementation for the issues I was dealing with. I did a complete detoxification protocol and heavy metal detox. And—wouldn’t you know it- I was able to get off all my med’s and got better. I share my story in the hopes that you don’t wait as long as I did and let your symptoms turn into serious diseases. Listen to your gut instincts and find someone that will work with you and listen to you – you know your body best.
​
I will assist you with lifestyle changes, menu development and supportive supplementation and functional diagnostic testing to help you with any and all of your wellness goals or health concerns you may be dealing with such as diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, hormones, stress, weight management, food sensitivities, inflammation, arthritis, brain and gut health, heavy metals, and figuring out the appropriate diet/supplements specific for you body. I absolutely love combining my skills as a nutritionist and as a therapist together to help people along their journey towards wellness and watching them get their health and lives back.
My coaching isn’t about one diet or one way of living. Instead, I focus on bio-individuality – the idea that we’re all different and have unique dietary, lifestyle, emotional, and physical needs. This means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. I work with clients to help them discover how to fuel their bodies, live a healthy lifestyle, and become the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves by finding exactly what works for them. My comprehensive, root- cause assessment/consultation approach will allow me to personalize your recommendations for you to be able to live your best life.
Karen specializes in looking at health and wellness from an all-encompassing approach, understanding that the mind, body and lifestyle are all connected and need to work in balance with each other in order to reach and remain in optimal health.
