Community Highlights: Meet Thea Sherman of Elevated Nutrition and Health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Thea Sherman.

Hi Thea, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi! My name is Thea and I am the owner of Elevated Nutrition and Health (www.elevatednutritionandhealth.com). The idea of starting my own Nutrition Consulting business was actually born on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. There, I spent 10 years leading multi-day wilderness expeditions and wondering what was next in life, I decided to go back to school to study nutrition. I spent some time trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to study and decided holistic nutrition with an emphasis on gut health was the right path for me.

Having struggled with my own health issues over the years and learning all about how important gut health is for overall wellness, it became my passion that turned into a career.

My goal with Elevated Nutrition and Health (www.elevatednutritionandhealth.com) is to offer a different option to allopathic medicine. Whether you’ve “tried it all” or are just beginning your health journey, here at Elevated Nutrition and Health (www.elevatednutritionandhealth.com), we believe in finding the root cause of your symptoms.

We take a deep dive into your health and address your specific symptoms with diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a small business has definitely brought some challenges with it, but we learn and grow with every roadblock.

Juggling two small children, as well as starting and growing a successful business has led me to self-reflect and reevaluate almost daily. One of the biggest struggles has been to find a good work-life balance, but this is something that is non-negotiable. Since starting the business, I have had personal health issues that I had to overcome. I took my own advice and prioritized sleep, self care, whole foods, and some supplements to help support me during stressful times.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Elevated Nutrition and Health?
We specialize in gut and hormone health for women with an emphasis on weight loss, at any stage of life. Many clients that come to us have an array of symptoms, ranging from digestive issues, insomnia, skin issues, thyroid issues, fertility issues, mood swings related to their cycle, inability to loose weight, anxiety, brain fog and more.

While managing symptoms is often part of our protocol, we don’t believe in a bandaid approach. Instead, we act as detectives to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and listen to what your body is telling us. This often includes functional lab testing to find a more targeted protocol that is effective and will get you feeling healthy with long-lasting results. We strongly believe that gut health is the foundation of health and well-being. Since we know that there is a connection between your brain (which controls your hormones) and the status of your microbiome (aka gut health), all of our clients incorporate gut healing into their healing journey. By laying this foundation, our clients often see amazing results and there is no need for long term restrictive diets, but rather a shift in lifestyle and diet.

If you’re struggling with finding answers and are ready to take charge of your health, our services can help you get there. We offer complimentary 20-minute discovery calls to see if working together is the right fit for both of us. The next steps include a 90-minute initial consultation where we take a deep dive into your health, symptoms, and history, After that, we offer 1-month, 3-month, and 5-month packages.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out.
