Foundations of Health

A sequenced, deep dive into universal Functional Medicine principles delivered in a year-long, twice monthly, group education series led by Jessica Jimison, FNP, IFMCP

Knowledge is power. Achieving lasting vitality and good health requires a deep understanding of what your body needs to function properly – and why. Lifestyle changes are notoriously hard to maintain, especially when you’re tired, sick, or stressed. In Foundations we empower you with the WHAT and WHY of how to regain and maintain your health. 

The Functional Medicine education provided in Foundations is uniquely presented through the lens of Polyvagal biology. We know the greatest healing is available through regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System because maintenance, repair, and rejuvenation of the body is only available in a ventral vagal state. And, we know that our OCC Members come to us with ANS dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and multiple symptoms. The sequence of lessons in Foundations supports your movement from chronic ANS dysregulation and inflammation toward health. 

The Autonomic Nervous System regulation you are strengthening through your OCC ANS work will enable further healing in your body as time goes on. Our education provides the toolbox you need to steer your body back toward health again and again when challenges inevitably arise in the years to come.

 Each Session Includes:

  • Didactic Education

  • Group Discussion

  • Printable Handouts

At the end of this twelve-month group program, you’ll have a clear and applicable understanding of the biology and biochemistry that underlies your own body’s health, and how to shift your system back into health when new challenges arise.
