Welcome! I am Kim Martindale. I am pleased to offer my services as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner.
I am passionate about helping you to regain and optimize your health by teaching you how to build a strong, healthy foundation and designing a personalized wellness plan to address the underlying root cause(s) of your symptoms.
.
My goal is to to support the whole person by promoting healthy lifestyle changes through targeted nutritional support, nutraceuticals, exercise, and stress management to reduce your bio markers and risk factors of chronic disease. I also incorporate healing therapies including but not limited to ozone, FIR sauna and light therapy when needed.
.
One area that I specialize in is building a healthy gut and microbiome. I use the 5R approach (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Rebuild and Rebalance) to bring the gut back into balance. Hippocrates said that ‘All disease begins in the gut” and we are discovering more and more how right he was. Every cell and organ in the body is effected when the gut is not healthy.
.
Metabolic detoxification protocols are powerful for addressing the root cause of many chronic illnesses. Supporting the body to detoxify chemicals, heavy metals and other toxins can help to clear brain fog, relieve depression, and anxiety, reduce inflammation, prevent cancer and diabetes, and accelerate weight loss. According to the CDC, the average American has upwards of 212 toxic chemicals in their blood and urine. Never before have humans been exposed to so many toxins at such high levels.
.
In my practice I implement powerful, physician grade detoxification protocols.
.
Along with personalized coaching, and group classes, I also provide physician grade nutraceuticals and healing therapies, including far infrared sauna and infrared light therapy.
.
As a certified NutriGenetic analyst, I use genetic data to personalize lifestyle programs based on each individual’s unique DNA to prevent disease and optimize health.

What people are saying about Optimal Health Consulting:
Rebecca came to see Kim in November 2016. She had been previously diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) several years earlier. At the time she came to Kim she was struggling with weight issues and had tried all the medications as suggested by the endocrinologist. Unfortunately, those medications made her sick mentally and physically. More doctors were recommended as were pharmaceuticals. Nothing seemed to be working. Her weight continued to rise; she became depressed, and the medications made her physically sick. As her mom, I decided to stop all medications and pursue a natural approach. We visited Kim in November, ran some tests, and began a clean protocol of eating. As this process was so new and the holidays were looming I asked for a month to do research and get the necessary tools and recipes ready. I began experimenting and by Christmas we had began eating healthier and gluten free. In January we began the protocol as recommended by Kim. Although difficult, we saw radical changes rather quickly. Rebecca’s weight began to melt away even without exercise. That was enough to keep her motivated. We continued regular visits, adjusted supplements, and ran other tests. Rebecca lost around 30 lbs. and went down 3 sizes in clothing. Her sugar levels stabilized as well. Even her emotional well-being changed, and she came out of her depression. I can’t say enough good things about Kim. She didn’t try to put a bandage on my daughter’s health; she tried to get to the root. By healing her gut she experienced overall healing. — Melissa

I am very happy to say I’m totally off Metformin and any other prescription drugs related to my PCOS, aside from the birth control. Even this summer with traveling quite a bit. I had great results at my last checkup in September! My glucose and cholesterol has gone down to a normal range. As you may remember me telling you, doctors told me I would be on Metformin for the rest of my life. To see normal insulin levels every day and get off medication has by far been the greatest and most life changing part of this journey.
.
As far as weight loss, I know now what works for my body, and it’s very much about me choosing to eat the right things. Thanks to your diet protocol, I was able to lose 20 pounds in the time we worked together. I am so grateful to have a better knowledge and understanding of what works for me. I’m still working on losing all the weight I’d like, but before working with you I thought it was impossible. Now I know that certainly isn’t true!
.
Also, when I came to visit you I was struggling with being bloated, having a constant upset stomach, and suffering from debilitating headaches. Changing my diet has helped alleviate all of these symptoms for me!
Again, thank you for all your help! — Alexandra
