Dr. Yvette M. Whitton
Founder & Medical Director
I’m Dr. Whitton, a Board-Certified Naturopathic Physician licensed in the state of
Connecticut. After losing my mother to metastatic pancreatic cancer in 2013, I made it
my mission to seek out training and education in evidence-based complementary and
alternative medicine that would support the innate wisdom of the body to heal itself.
Having witnessed the majority of those diagnosed with cancer succumb to the result of
the treatment rather than the disease itself, I sought to educate myself in the
foundations of healing, earning a doctorate in Naturopathic medicine and a Master’s
degree in in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, focusing on the healing
power of nature from the perspective of the person “housing” the cancer and not just
the disease itself.
With certifications in nutritional enzyme therapy, Mistletoe Therapy, Ozone therapy, and
Terrain Centric Medicine. I’m able to offer those who entrust me with their healthcare
needs, a comprehensive approach to wellness that addresses all facets of the human
spirit, which consists of the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic body. I
believe that when harmony is restored within the foundations of health, healing
occurs, and health is restored. My goal is empowerment of the patient through
education and environmental awareness so that they can make informed choices
regarding their health and not be guided by FEAR. My favorite quote is by Albert
Schweitzer: “Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. They come to us not
knowing that truth, we are at our best when we give the Doctor who resides in each
patient, a chance to go to work"
Valerie
Oncology Nutrition Consultant, Certified Yoga Teacher
I reclaimed my health from a serious cancer diagnosis. Immediately after receiving the devastating
news, I started building a powerful integrative healthcare plan with nutrition being in the center of my
healing modalities. Inspired by the process of holistic healing, I became an Oncology Nutrition
Consultant to empower others on their journey from cancer diagnosis to thriving health.
When I think of a human body, I see an enchanting and complex garden. Every garden needs energy,
maintenance and love poured into it to make sure it can thrive year after year. With a cancer diagnosis
at hand, you are being forced to put other priorities behind, so you can attend to your body-garden.
However, with limited experience, it's hard to do it yourself.
Using a therapeutic, personalized diet and lifestyle plan I can help you create the right conditions for
your body-garden to thrive again. Cancer is a powerful illness but let me tell you something - SO ARE
YOU! Your body is not a problem to solve but a miracle to discover. I look forward to working with you!
Lori
Certified Health Coach, Life Coach, Metabolic Advisor, EFT Practitioner, Laughter Yoga Leader
I have been involved in the health and nutrition field for more than 30 years and have
spent 14 years working with Naturopathic Doctors Nationally to create health and
wellness programs for a variety of medical conditions. In 2009, I was searching for a
better way to improve the patient care model and met with Bill Wolcott who was a close
friend and assistant to Dr. William Donald Kelley, an American orthodontist who
developed non-specific metabolic therapy, an alternative cancer treatment program.
Kelley based this on his personal belief that wrong foods cause malignancy to grow,
while proper foods get all the body's natural defenses to work. Dr. Kelley himself was
diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, and through his research, healed himself! Bill
Wolcott took the foundation of Kelley's studies, modifying it to create the Metabolic
typing diet, which is based upon the 9 fundamental homeostatic controls. This program
has been 80 years in the making.
As your Coach, I aim to form a partnership with you, one that is based upon mutual
respect and trust. I believe that your Cancer care is a very personal and individualized
journey. You are a unique and special person, as are your nutritional, biochemical,
genetic, metabolic, and emotional needs. I help patients manage anxiety, worry, trauma,
and emotional eating with transformational Life coaching and EFT (emotional freedom
technique).I will be working with you one-on-one to help you on your journey to become Cancer free.
Georgianna
Board Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach, Metabolic Advisor, Ayurvedic Medicine Specialist
My fascination with herbal medicine and nutrition began when I was very young. My father was a big inspiration for my interest as he often used garlic for just about anything and spent most of his time in his lush herb and vegetable garden. I attended the Commonwealth School of Holistic Herbalism and fell in love with herbs and the world of alternative medicine. I continued my studies and received certification from the Boston School of Herbal Studies and the Berkeley Herbal Center, where I learned clinical diagnostics and herbal protocols. I am in my second year of graduate school for Functional and Integrative Nutrition. It was essential to diversify my studies to acquire a broader range of knowledge, as our bodies are complex. I have over five years of experience as an herbal and nutrition coach. I truly believe that our bodies can heal themselves given the right tools and environment. I seek to create a partnership with my patients. Each healing journey is unique, and I provide an open, caring space to support each patient. I specialize in mindfulness meditation, managing anxiety, sleep disorders, IBS, and hormonal imbalances.
Kristie
Health Coach, Nutritionist, Nutrition Educator, Metabolic Advisor
I discovered my passion for the field of nutrition twelve years ago when I found myself trying to safely nourish 2 of my three children who, by the ages of 1 and 6, had developed severe and competing food allergies. Inspired by the importance of feeding them well and safely, I earned a Master of Science in Applied Nutrition from Northeastern University, a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University, and a health coaching certification from the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. Through my studies and my work as a health coach and nutrition educator, I came to believe whole-heartedly in the idea that knowledge can inspire action and behavior change. When we come to understand more about the fascinating intricacies of the human body and the power of food to nourish and heal us, we can find incredible motivation to embrace and enjoy nutritious food.
As your health coach and metabolic advisor, I will meet you where you are on your own personal journey. Wherever you are in your relationship with and understanding of food and nutrition, we will work together to identify the best foods for your body at this particular moment in time. We will discover the best ways to use the healing power of food to bring balance to your autonomic nervous system and to the intricacies of your personal metabolism. Partnering in this way will be a powerful step toward supporting your body's ability to heal and thrive.
