my personal commitment to your health and success
As with all of our offerings at ALWC, we have the intention of supporting the client as a whole which means we must address all aspects of living a healthy, balanced life. The following are the biggest attributes that may be addressed as we work towards finding that true balance for you.
Bio-individuality
The concept of Bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
Primary Food
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which is good basic information to have, however, I understand that it takes more than a list to be educated about food choices. My approach is somewhat different… by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. There are many ways to substitute a healthier version of some of the dishes that you love! Simply put, you will crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you along the way.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony. Rather than viewing cravings as weaknesses, we see them as important messages from your body meant to help you maintain balance.
Bio-individuality is the cornerstone to the way I work with people because no two people are alike, no one way of making recommendations for a condition or ailment works for everyone and no one diet is going to serve everyone in the same way. So getting to know you and all of the things that make you who you are is imperative in my being able to help you on your wellness journey. Some of the things I will want to address as I am getting to know you are: your family history, your medical history, any prescription medications and supplements currently being taken, symptoms that have been presenting recently, diet, how you feel about the foods you eat, and cravings you have. Together, we will also want to address lifestyle which includes family life, career, spirituality, sleep and exercise/movement.
As we begin to develop a picture of your overall health and diet, we can start to build a plan to help you take the steps needed to help you reach your goals. After your initial consultation, follow-up consultations may be recommended to review things such as food logs, dietary progress and to reassess where you feel you are in that process. If any tests were recommended we will go over those results and determine potential recommendation plans as well as make any changes to existing nutritional guidelines. A recommendation plan can include herbal and/or homeopathic remedies or other types of supplementation such as vitamins, minerals or probiotics to support your specific situation.

ALLERGY ELIMINATION
What type of allergy elimination technique do we use?
The type of allergy elimination technique we use at Abundant Life Wellness Center is called SET-DB created by Dr. Teryl Boothe.
History of allergy elimination treatment
There are two pioneers in AET: Dr. Devi Nambudripad and Dr. Ellen Cutler.
The fact that allergies could even be eliminated was discovered by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, serendipitously, while she studied acupuncture. She refined the process over the years and began teaching it to other practitioners, calling it Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET).
Dr. Ellen Cutler ran a busy NAET practice north of San Francisco, in Marin County. Shortly after she had a positive experience with enzyme therapy, she developed her own technique: BioSET. She changed the allergy treatment a little, added enzyme therapy and homeopathic detoxification, and improved on Dr. Nambudripad’s overall approach for treating allergies. Dr. Cutler has since changed her protocol significantly, with a strong emphasis on enzyme therapy and supplements.
I came to Abundant Life with shingles for Raindrop Therapy and Lymphstar Pro and was able to go back to work for a few hours the next day. Within a week the pain was at a 3 or 4 instead of 10 and a week later I back to normal. Susie was wonderful. I purchased the shingles protocol that was recommended and it worked great. It is so nice to know that there is a place that has such a caring staff. Thanks.
Excellent staff, services & place. My go to for all things natural. Blessed to have access to ALWC and I tell everyone about it!
I absolutely love this place! The staff is amazing & so kind. Jennifer & Rochelle are so knowledgeable! They have helped me and my family so much.I always look forward to our appointments! Rachel, Katie and the other front desk ladies are so personable and helpful!
We love Abundant Life Wellness center! They help us get to the root cause and partner with us on our complete healing and wholeness.
I chose a rating of 10 because I feel as though we have an action plan to follow based upon the bloodwork results and the Zyto analysis. We want to get to the root cause of what's going on and now we have some direction to make that happen. Dr Trejo is kind, attentive and very knowledgeable.
Jennifer has helped my family more than words can say and I am very grateful for her and for the staff at Abundant Life! May the Lord guide and direct your lives ladies! Go in His wisdom and strength!!
We love Jennifer! My son and I go to see her and every time we go is like visiting a dear friend that looks out for you. Gives the best care and the best advices. Not only she works on our physical health but also on our spiritual health!
Ramona is an expert at her work. Knows the system, knows the body, knows the colon! And just as important, she knows YOU, the client, as she takes the time to get to know you. Not just on one visit, but every visit she takes it to a personal level. Why? Because she CARES. Thank you Ramona.
Abundant Life has improved my quality of life and is very affordable compared to many alternative medical clinics. Thank you!
Because I am seeing results of my body healing for the first time in a decade. Everyone there actually cares about my health and well being.
Abundant Life uses functional medicine as well as the body’s capability with support to heal itself. God created us in His image and designed our bodies to do just that. All of the practitioners are knowledgeable, professional and genuinely interested in helping us heal. The best part is that it is natural medicine.

Wonderful bunch of ladies! Highlight of my day coming and being pampered. Bottom line…..because I get help naturally with my health issues. I thank our God for leading me to Abundant Life staff. I am so blessed.
SET-DB is a protocol that eliminates a sensitivity response.
This means when we utilize SET-DB on a client, they should no longer react to what they were having an issue with. Dr. Devi Nambudripad, who created the NAET protocol, called this approach Allergy Elimination Therapy.
Does Allergy Elimination Technique work?
Yes, at least the way SET-DB™ practitioners perform the protocol. Dr. Boothe believes his protocol works every time, with very few exceptions. He knows that NAET and the BioSET can work, but their treatments often have to be repeated in the office or at home by the patient with long avoidance times for what was being treated. While there is an avoidance period with the SET-DB protocol, four hours is not excessive.
There have been other allergy elimination protocols over the years that purported to eliminate a sensitivity response, but they’ve seemed to have fallen by the wayside.
How Does Allergy Elimination work?
Using the Zyto biofeedback software, we can determine what items in a specific category are stressing a person’s body. There is a methodical approach to which categories need to be scanned first in order to have the best outcome. Once the stressors are identified for the client, the client does breathing exercises while we stimulate the central nervous system. After sitting quietly for 10 minutes, the session is complete. The total time of each allergy clearing session is 15 minutes. It is that fast. Also, two sessions can be done in one day, with a 2-hour gap between sessions. This protocol has been successful for Dr. Boothe for over 15 years.
What is the cost for the SET-DB Allergy Elimination Technique?
The cost is $45 per category. Each person will need a different number of sessions based upon their individual sensitivities. We offer discounts for those who will need several sessions.
