Passion for Intestinal Health

Danielle believes strongly in the whole person approach to wellness, including mind, body and spirit, with healthy food at center stage. She understands that overall health begins with the gut; that both dis-ease and health are dictated by the state of our individual microbiomes.

Certain foods we eat, medications we take and the lifestyles we lead, contribute to the balance of our ”good” and “bad” bacteria in our intestines. Danielle encourages her clients to eat “real” food, live physically active, mindful lives in toxic-free environments to assist in developing and maintaining a healthy intestinal bacteria balance.

Danielle equates nutrition counseling to detective work. Her greatest passion is helping individuals reclaim their health by digging deeply to find the “root” of their health issues.

Her role at DrJockers.com involves working with patients through interpreting their lab work, making personalized recommendations based on the lab findings and providing individualized coaching to help clients restore their bodies back to optimal health.

Personal Life

Danielle has made eating nutritionally dense food and living physically actively lives, priorities for her family. Danielle is the mother to two strong, beautiful teenage girls, Gabbi & Jacqui and has a wonderfully supportive and loving life partner, Tim.

She leads a healthy lifestyle by example and believes it’s important to practice what she preaches. Danielle has been able to naturally overcome both hormonal and intestinal issues in her own life, which has helped her develop knowledge and compassion when working with her clients.

When Danielle is not helping others restore their health, she can be found cooking delicious organic meals made with locally grown ingredients, hiking trails both near and far, sunbathing and walking on the beach, skiing, biking and practicing yoga and mindfulness.
