Welcome to a Whole-Person Approach

HOLISTIC | TRAUMA-INFORMED | EMPOWERMENT-BASED | CLIENT-CENTERED

HTMA + Other Labs (When Strategic) + Energy Testing + Lifestyle Medicine Mentoring + Transformational/Neural Rewiring Coaching = A Truly Holistic Approach

I’m just a simple girl from the Midwest with a passion for all things wellness.  I love the beach, exploring new places, and helping others find their healthy place!

I’m Sara Korzeniewski, a registered dietitian, functional medicine practitioner, and transformational coach.

I work with confused yet motivated women who are struggling with digestive issues and all of the many health complaints that often become a result, including autoimmune diagnoses, anxiety, brain fog, hormone imbalance, period problems, skin issues like acne, and fatigue.

My approach embodies the whole-person, client-centered paradigm I teach within the courses and practitioner certification programs offered at Wellness Code Academy, of which I am a co-partner. Because chronic issues are multifactorial, I integrate functional, lifestyle, and mind-body medicine along with trauma-informed, transformational coaching to help you identify and address the DEEP roots of your challenges.

I also don’t fix or heal you or rely upon prescriptive protocols as the foundation for healing. Instead, I guide you on a personalized journey to step into your power, become your own best self-healer, and cultivate wellness in your body, mind, and spirit. As the famous biblical saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.”

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. The one lab test I run on all clients outside of the gate. When interpreted skillfully and through the lens of accumulated stress and trauma, it provides a vast look into the physical and emotional body, making it an incredible, low-cost tool for supporting the creation of a solid foundation for healing moving forward. I use other labs as well as supplements conservatively and strategically. As I see it, there’s nothing functional or holistic about over-reliance on labs and prescriptive supplement protocols as foundational healing supports. This is basically conventional medicine in somewhat better lighting.

What Paves the Way for Health Challenges to Develop?

As the graphic illustrates, it’s never just one factor that causes a person to fall into the rabbit hole of chronic health issues and the resulting life stress.

Instead, chronic disease is the result of the perfect storm of stressors and traumatic experiences that accumulate and exceed a person’s ability to adapt metabolically and psychologically.

Loss of adaptation then leads to widespread dysfunction that makes a person a vulnerable host for chronic diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, mold illness, chronic Lyme fibromyalgia, autoimmunity, etc., to take hold.

When dysfunction continues without resolution, the nervous system becomes chronically dysregulated, and the entire system spends more time in defense mode than energy-producing mode. This is known as Chronic Cell Danger Response mode.

Chronic nervous system dysregulation and CDR mode make it so the body doesn’t respond well to the things a person does to try to get well. It also fuels painful emotional states such as anxiety and depression.

From here, a vicious stress-illness-pain-life chaos cycle is created.

If you’re caught within this cycle, I’ll help you break free from it with a trauma-informed, whole-person approach aimed at figuring out what’s keeping you stuck (in body, mind, and spirit) and implementing a personalized, step-by-step healing plan to get you back on track.

Empowerment-Based Healing

In my practice, I integrate functional, mind-body, and energy medicine in tandem with transformational coaching into a cutting-edge, empowerment-based approach to healing chronic disease. I’ve named this approach The Wellness Code, which, as mentioned at the beginning of this page, I now also teach inside of our online courses and certification programs at Wellness Code Academy. You can learn more about the academy HERE.

This approach is based on 4 primary Rs of healing:

REMOVE as many stressors as possible

RECONNECT to nature and our deeper selves

REWIRE the brain and nervous system for wellness

RESTORE cellular function

This said, while biochemical interventions such as lab testing, dietary intervention, and supplement protocols are indeed integral components of the healing process that cannot be skipped, in order to find true and lasting healing, most people need dynamic coaching and support that facilitates becoming fully empowered in their own healing and transformational process.

In light of this, I work with clients in a way that offers new perspectives on microbiome and gut health, circadian rhythm and sleep optimization, pathogen eradication, detoxification, mitochondrial repair, and much more. I also offer a wide array of knowledge, tools, and strategies that take them beyond the biochemical aspects of healing and deep into the realms of energy testing, mindset, nervous system regulation, neural rewiring, psychoneuroimmunology, emotional healing, habit change, passions and purpose, and more.

My Services

VIP Transformation Package

Are you tired of feeling like you…

• Don’t have enough energy to get through the day despite a full night’s sleep?
• Can’t button UP your pants due to bloating or being constipated even though you’ve cleaned up your diet or felt like you have tried everything?
• Have to cover your skin from monthly breakouts?
• Have PMS or irregular periods every month, yet your doctor tells you your lab work looks normal?
• Do you go to practitioners who claim to be holistic and natural, yet all you walk away with is a long list of supplements to take?
• Are you confused about where to go from here? There is so much conflicting information out there that it is overwhelming.

And you wonder if you will have to learn to live with these symptoms.

Maybe you’re beginning to think that this is just your new “normal.” Your symptoms run in your family, so perhaps you are destined to feel this way.

Because you’ve tried EVERYTHING to improve your symptoms…

Maybe food is the culprit?  You tried Whole30, Vegan, Paleo, AIP, low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy free…

Maybe a pill will help. Have you tried probiotics, adaptogens, parasite cleanses, candida detox, DIM, B vitamins, vitamin D, birth control, spironolactone, or antibiotics?

Maybe a doctor will know how to help?  You’ve seen a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine practitioner, Endocrinologist, GI Doctor…

Maybe blood work, a colonoscopy, or an endoscopy will give you answers?

Maybe you just need more sleep, and more exercise to decrease your stress. But how?

So why does nothing seem to be working?

You’ve cut out all the foods.  You’ve done all the online research.  You’ve tried all the supplements. You’ve seen all the specialists.  You know something is off.  Surely, something should have worked, or someone should have been able to figure it out.

But your symptoms are still bothering you.  And it is frustrating, draining, and expensive.  Why are you trying everything you can think of but STILL feel like crap?  All you want to do is to feel like yourself again. That isn’t too much to ask, is it?

No!  It doesn’t have to be this way.  

Just hear what my client Jessica M. says about working with me…

Symptoms may be common, but that doesn’t make them normal.  AND, it isn’t your fault.  It isn’t your genetics. You haven’t uncovered the root of your symptoms, which often goes beyond the physical, and no lab test can help you uncover….

GOOD NEWS! This is exactly what I help clients do so they can finally kick symptoms to the curb and uncover the missing pieces of the multifaceted health puzzle.  And you can do it naturally.

How would you like to…

• Elevate your energy
• Sleep soundly
• Learn how to support your hormones naturally
• Clear your skin
• Have better moods
• Beat the bloat
• Have regular bowel movements
• Feel more at home in your own body  

Get the awareness and tools you need to support your health for the long haul.

My program is different than anything you’ve tried.

The results? You thriving.

What you get:

√ Initial 2-Hour Minute Strategy Jumpstart your Healing Session with action steps to get started right away and a list of priorities

* Note on labs: I am much more conservative about spending your money on a bunch of one-size-fits-all lab tests than most practitioners. For example, I used to run stool tests on all clients; however, I have learned that even stool tests have big limitations, which you can read more about HERE.

√  Two- HTMA Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis from Trace Elements (included): 1 will be run at the start of working together and one towards the end

√ Ongoing energy testing throughout the program: Read more about energy testing HERE

√ Additional lab tests as needed based on individual needs; additional costs apply

√  11 Additional 1:1 coaching sessions (after the Initial 2-hour deep dive call) that can last up to 90 minutes (via Zoom video conference)

√  Ongoing messaging support:  Unlimited ability to reach out with questions to help keep you supported and motivated along the way

√ FREE access to my Heal Your Gut for Good online course modules (keep this after you complete the program)

√  Access to my supportive materials and resources to help support, inform, and cut the confusion

√  15% of supplements from the Doctors Supplement Store

√ A grand opportunity to transform your health and life (PRICELESS)

What clients are saying…

Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for your health journey and make a life change to feel your best? Take an active role in overcoming anything that comes your way.  Why wait?  Committing for the long haul will get you lifelong results and the life you deserve!

What would YOU do for better health, more energy, and optimal vitality?

This program is for you if you are busy yet highly motivated to get answers and make the changes necessary to heal your body.  If you have been searching for answers only to come up empty. If you feel deep down that your symptoms have DEEPER root causes, your doctor says everything looks normal.  You are only being offered band-aid solutions like birth control or antibiotics, but you are looking for something more natural. If you have even tried natural approaches only to feel like the biggest strategies offered are countless supplements or a cookie-cutter approach. If you are ready to be empowered and take 100% responsibility for your health journey instead of looking for someone to “fix” you.

This program is NOT for you if you are looking for a quick fix and are not open to making lifelong necessary changes in your diet and lifestyle. It is also not for you if you are simply looking to run some labs and get put on a supplement protocol or if you expect quick fixes with little to no effort.

Imagine a life with consistent energy, healthy periods, clear skin, restful sleep, consistent bowel movements, enjoying a meal without the bloat, and feeling empowered that you know what your body needs.

So many programs and plans focus on only one area of health.  But the reality is that your body works together as a whole, not just as individual systems.  If you only focus on one system, you could miss out on huge pieces of your health puzzle.

It’s NOT just about one thing.  Not just about the food, not just about taking probiotics, not just about needing to exercise more, or just about adding meditation.  All of these things may help, but if you don’t address the root problems, you may not be able to get the results you desire.  This program will cover each building block to help you build optimal health and work through any roadblocks that come your way.

True health isn’t just about trying all the diets, running all the labs, finding the right supplements, and lowering stress. A true transformative journey is about taking radical actions to help you step into your greatest power. It isn’t about using tools to help a symptom but to help you GROW.
