Kim's Bio:
Kim Heintz is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who helps high-performing men and women overcome burnout, eliminate migraines, and heal gut issues so they can get their energy and focus back.
Her health journey started in her twenties, when she was dealing with chronic migraines, sometimes 3 to 5 a week. At 28, she experienced a migraine that lasted an entire year, along with insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and more.
After being told she would have to live with it, she took a different path and turned to functional lab testing. That’s where she uncovered deeper imbalances and was able to fully resolve her symptoms.
Now in her mid-40s, Kim feels better than she did in her 20s and 30s and helps others do the same by identifying and addressing the root causes of their symptoms.
