Karrie Danielson

About Karrie:

Hey, I’m Karrie Danielson, and I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a Restorative Wellness Gastrointestinal Health Practitioner. What does that mean? Well, I help folks with their gastrointestinal issues; reflux, heartburn, bloating burping, leaky gut, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal inflammation (pain). Based on the tools I use, I can identify GI dysfunction and then offer protocols to gain optimal GI function. You are not only what you eat, but what you digest and absorb. An optimal GI system is the foundation of the body healing itself. I’d love to help you get rid of those annoying GI symptoms. I love helping people get healthier and happier—it’s my passion. When I’m not doing that, you might find me lifting weights or hanging out with my three kids or three grandkids. I also love nature walks, getting morning sun, and sharing my passion for a living a healthy and active life. Health is wealth!

Zack Baldassare

About Zack:

A few years ago, I was happily making food for a Mountain Lodge in Ketchum, ID called Galena. One summer, I began to develop sleep disturbances, erectile dysfunction, and anxiety and depression. I could barely function in my sous chef role. I decided to move to Nampa to be closer to family, and focus on my health. I learned that many of my symptoms may be linked to problems with digestion, and metabolism. So I began a series of lifestyle changes that have helped rebalance the microbiome in my gut. I found much relief from my symptoms, and now I’m inspired to use my talents in the kitchen and the yoga studio, to support others in their healing using nutrition and exercise. That’s why I’m teaming up with my friend, David Cruz and Healthy Metabolic Solutions, to offer easy access to Therapeutic nutrition and yoga classes to my community.

Certifications:

Yoga alliance certified 200hr Vinyasa & Yin yoga teacher training
