You've done your research
You've done everything right
So why do you still feel like this?
You eat well. You take your supplements. You've seen the practitioners, done the protocols, listened to the podcasts. You're not someone who ignores their health — you've been working at this for years.
​
And you're exhausted. Not just physically. Exhausted from trying.
​
The Nourishing Life Program is for the person who is done with surface-level solutions — and ready for someone to actually go deep, cut through the noise, and help them figure out what's really going on.
The wellness world has a lot to answer for.
If you've spent any time trying to take your health into your own hands, you've probably noticed: there is so much information out there. And almost none of it agrees.
​
Eat low-carb. No wait, eat more fruit. Seed cycling for your hormones. Actually, seed cycling is a myth. This supplement will change your life. That supplement is a waste of money. Fast for 16 hours. Don't fast, it stresses your adrenals. Trust your gut. Trust the science. Trust your intuition. Trust the data.
​
At some point, trying to optimize your health starts to feel like a second job — one that's draining your energy, your wallet, and your confidence in your own body.
The problem isn't that you haven't found the right answer yet.
The problem is that nobody has helped you ask the right questions.
It's not your fault the things you've tried haven't worked
Most wellness solutions — however well-intentioned — are built for the average person, not for you. Here's where the system keeps breaking down:
The influencer protocol that was built for someone else
Social media wellness is built on what's dramatic and shareable, not what's clinically sound or individually appropriate. A 30-day reset designed for a 28-year-old in perfect health is not a healing plan for your specific body, your specific history, and the specific patterns driving your symptoms.​
The supplement stack that costs a fortune and changes nothing
Supplements are tools — and like any tool, they only work when used correctly, at the right dose, in the right sequence, for the right person. Taking B12 for fatigue, ashwagandha for stress, and a probiotic for bloating because three different Instagram posts told you to is not a protocol — it's a pile of guesses that may be working against each other. Knowing that your fatigue is driven by low ferritin and poor iron absorption, not B12, changes everything. One approach costs a fortune and spins its wheels. The other actually moves the needle.
The clean eating spiral that made everything worse
Restriction and food fear are the shadow side of wellness culture — and they're everywhere. Eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, nightshades, lectins, oxalates, and histamines might temporarily reduce inflammation, but it also creates nutritional gaps, social anxiety, and a relationship with food that is the opposite of nourishing. More rules and rigidity are rarely the answer.
None of these approaches are bad. They're just incomplete. And incomplete - when you're already depleted - is just another way of staying stuck on the wellness hamster wheel...
Step Off the Hamster Wheel
Evidence-Based Insight Meets Traditional Clinical Wisdom
The Nourishing Life Program isn't another protocol. It isn't a meal plan or a supplement stack or a 30-day challenge. It's a structured, three-month healing relationship built around one principle: find the real root, address it with precision, and build something sustainable.
​
Unlike the standard medical model that often waits for disease to manifest, Nourishing Life focuses on prevention and optimization.​ I work with a small number of patients at a time — because depth requires presence. Every patient gets a complete picture built from two complementary sources of truth:
​
-
Functional Medicine: Advanced lab testing that goes beyond standard panels — looking at hormone metabolites, gut microbiome, cortisol rhythms, mycotoxin burden, nutrient status, and more. Not to generate a report. To answer specific questions about your body.
-
Chinese Medicine: Thousands of years of clinical pattern recognition — pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, and a deep-dive intake that reveals constitutional imbalances and emotional factors that lab results alone can miss. The data and the wisdom, together.
By combining modern data with time-tested wisdom, we create a targeted, effective roadmap tailored specifically to your biology and your being.​
The Yang Sheng Differnce
Modern Science Meets the Rhythm of Nature
Ancient Chinese medicine didn't just treat disease — it cultivated vitality.
Yang Sheng is the philosophy that runs through everything we do here: simple, practical, seasonally attuned, and deeply respectful of your body's intelligence.
Healing doesn't have to be complicated. Usually, the most powerful interventions are the most elegant and the most practical.
​
This is the anti-biohack...Rooted in ancient wisdom on how to live in tune with nature - we work with nature, with your biology and with your constitution. We're never pushing into extrememes.
We don't guess. We asess. Every recommendation is grounded in your specific labs, your history, your constitution, and your life. Not what worked for someone on Instagram. Not a generic protocol. Yours.
​
Advanced Functional Lab testing combined with traditional diagnostics like Chinese Tongue and pulse diagnosis to uncover the root causes of your symptoms​.
​
Simple, not overwhelming. The goal is the fewest, most targeted interventions that will move the needle most. You will not leave with a 47-point protocol and a bag full of supplements you don't understand. You'll leave with a clear, practical plan you can actually follow.
​​​
Your not left alone with a handout or report. Between sessions you have voice and text support. I read your labs in full clinical context. We adjust the protocol as your body responds. The relationship doesn't end when the appointment does.
​
​Coaching & support for sustainable systems Because we don't rise to our goals, we fall to our systems. Your never navigating your health alone. ​​
Your three months - Here's exactly what happens.
1
Month One - Map & Understand
We begin with a 120-minute deep-dive intake: your full health history, Chinese diagnostic assessment (pulse, tongue, constitutional patterns), and a clear picture of what we're investigating. I guide any lab recommendations based on what will give us the most useful answers for your specific situation. You leave with a preliminary protocol and the first real clarity you've had in a long time.
2
Month Two - Targeted Protocol
Lab results are interpreted in full clinical context — not just flagged and printed. Your custom Nourishing Life protocol is delivered: dietary medicine, targeted herbs and supplements, lifestyle and nervous system interventions, and acupuncture if indicated. Two 60-minute sessions this month, with ongoing text and voice support between them.
3
Month Three - Deepen & Build for Life
We refine based on how your body has responded. Address deeper layers. And — critically — we build the simple, sustainable systems that will carry your health forward beyond our three months together. The goal isn't that you need me indefinitely. It's that you leave knowing your body, trusting your choices, and feeling genuinely well.
Moyra, BC
Working with Sugandhi has been one of the most transformative experiences of my healing journey. I came to her with cystic acne, gut issues, fatigue, and a deep need for personalized care. Her holistic approach—rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional medicine—combined with her genuine compassion, completely changed my relationship with my body. She listened deeply, created thoughtful protocols, and supported me every step of the way with structure, wisdom, and heart. My skin has significantly cleared, my energy is back, and I finally feel in balance. Sugandhi is a true healer—and I’m so grateful our paths crossed.
Vanessa, OR
Sugandhi is a true healer. She has helped me immensely - I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. Sugandhi helped clear my acne and balance my skin, she helped regulate my periods and helped me get pregnant. Sugandhi is helping my body reach optimal health, and most importantly she is helping me to understand, respect and love my body and myself. Not only is she talented but she is such a warm, kind, thoughtful, lovely, knowledgeable and professional individual. I highly recommend seeing her if you are looking to improve your health and wellness in any way!
Christie, IA
Sugandhi is an amazing practitioner. I have had amazing results under her treatment. She has helped me to significantly reduce chronic pain, increase my mobility, and has helped me to stop taking several prescription medications, including regular anti-histamine use, and birth control for hormone regulation. Her approach regarding what needs to be tested and how to proceed based on results are rigorous, thoughtful, and reasonable. She is incredibly knowledgeable and insightful, and she is also delightful as a person. I highly recommend her.

Functional Lab Testing Packages
Not your GP's labs! Advanced functional labs are more specific and sensitive than the regular blood work your doc might look at. We also examine the labs for patterns and optimal health rather than diseased or not. Lab packages in the context of your full health history help us to both zoom out to assess the big picture of your situation, and zoom in to see what’s going on down to a cellular or microbial level in your body.
Nutrigenetic Testing
Find out what your genes are telling you! A simple cotton swab can reveal how your genes impact your health, hormones, weight, performance, and risk of chronic conditions. Backed by 25 years of research and advanced AI technology, this paradigm-shifting tool provides data-driven insights so you can make empowered, targeted decisions for lasting wellness.
Food Allergy Testing
A blood test that screens for 88 common environmental and food allergens, including pollen, dust, pet dander, dairy, gluten, and more. Ideal for chronic sinus issues, skin problems, digestive symptoms, or unexplained inflammation. Helps identify hidden triggers and support long-term relief.
*requires phlebotomy.
Hormone Testing
The most comprehensive testing for sex andrenal hormones. A non-invasive at- home urine test (DUTCH). Ideal for understanding PMS, fatigue, mood swings, fertility issues, perimenopause and post- menopause-related syndromes. Identify root causes of hormonal imbalances to guide a targeted healing
plan.
Fertility Optimization
Advanced functional lab combinations that look at sex hormones, hormones metabolites, thyroid function and more. Basic and advanced female and male packages can identify challenges or root-causes of infertility early, saving a lot of heart-ache and time. Insights allow for targeted support of egg health and overall abilty to conceive and bring a beutiul baby full term.
Gut Microbiome Testing
Gut health impacts overall health. A DNA-based stool test that analyzes gut pathogens, beneficial bacteria, parasites, and markers of inflammation and gut-lining issues. Ideal for bloating, IBS, skin issues, and autoimmune concerns. Gets to the root of chronic conditions and deep insight into your gut microbiome for targeted, personalized healing.
Advanced Thyroid
Beyond TSH and T4! A full functional thyroid panel looks at the whole picture including antibodies, and liver conversion of T3 to T4 - essentially how are you using your thyroid hormones.
​
Other basic and advanced blood and urine labs are available, including mitochondrial function assessment, and more.
All lab packages include a comprehensive intake and report of findings. Labs can be ordered as stand-alone packages or integrated into a Nourishing Life Coaching package or Acupuncture treatment plan. Download the complete service menu & price list here.
