Who am I and what do I do?
Hi, I'm Tawni Hendriks, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) and a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner specializing in Genetic Code Detoxification.
Everyone has a unique genetic code with variants and mutations. Some of these mutations make a person have difficulty detoxifying the daily onslaught of toxins and the body can't keep up. We will do some lab work to find your variants and create a specialized protocol to open up detox pathways and restore health and energy at the cellular level.
A quote from a PubMed paper named Genetic Biomarkers of Metabolic Detoxification says,
“Defective detox due to genetic factors, environmental overload, and nutritional deficiencies can result in various chronic diseases, including cancer, asthma, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.”
PubMed Central article PMC8876337 Published 2/11/22
I help restore the healthy function to the cells by restoring nutritional deficiencies and removing layers of toxins and inflammation that can lead to disease.
Four facts:
1. Without proper detoxing inflammation builds up and can cause sickness and disease.
2. At home detoxes can stir up more issues because they aren’t done in correct order and/or done with the proper products and binders.
3. Detoxing should be facilitated by a trained professional.
4. Detoxing should not be difficult or taxing on the body.
DECODING DETOXIFICATION THROUGH GENETIC LAB TESTING
Toxins come in a variety of ways, from the environment, from food, from dyes and chemicals, from cell damage internally that occurs from infections and oxidative stress, from polluted or chemical laden water, from mold in the home or work environment, from cleaning products, from personal care products, even a negative mindset affects toxin removal pathways. Detoxification is a not a one size fits all. This is a highly personalized program based on lab results to get you feeling your best.
Your home can have many toxins that affect your health. Here is a link to a company that sells safer, cleaner products:

Every area of your life affects your health
I Found It!!
As a holistic practitioner I help my clients in all areas of their life pertaining to their health.
One area was removing toxic cleaning products, skin care and beauty products.
I have looked for safer products that met my standards for several years.
I tried several other company’s products, spent a lot of money doing so, and was left unimpressed.
What standards was I looking for?
- The products had to follow European standards for safety, which omits over 1300 ingredients that the US deems safe but European standards do not feel are safe (because they have been shown to cause health issues, yet America still puts these toxic ingredients into products we use everyday).
- The products had to be effective, safe, and impress me! I got stains out of carpets, and out of clothes. My stainless steel sparkled. My makeup started getting compliments. My laundry smelled good, and got clean and bright, all without the toxins I knew were so bad for me. Yes I was impressed!
Why do I care what products my clients use?
Because products that contain phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, and over 1300 chemicals can trigger a decline in their health. All of our hard work to get my client healthy is negatively affected by the toxins they were exposing themselves to on a daily basis.
First thing you can do to get healthier is to
start making your home a toxin free sanctuary. Protect yourself and your kids or grandkids from harmful toxins.

My Journey to Wellness

What's wrong with me?
I got passionate about health years ago when my own health started to decline. I was getting very strange symptoms and doctors asked me if I wanted pain pills. No. Did I want antidepressants? No. Did I just want attention and was making up my symptoms? NO! NO! NO!
It was frustrating.
I just wanted to feel better.

I got passionate about health years ago when my own health started to decline. I was getting very strange symptoms and doctors asked me if I wanted pain pills. No. Did I want antidepressants? No. Did I just want attention and was making up my symptoms? NO! NO! NO!
It was frustrating.
I just wanted to feel better.
I looked fine on the outside. I felt bad on the inside. Weak. Dizzy. Tired. Gut issues. Heart palpitations. Sleep issues. Food sensitivities. Then more and more symptoms, and more and more foods I couldn't eat.
The list went on and on.
Then I became paralyzed from the waist down. Over the next several months I went to several different doctors. They didn't know what was wrong with me. I was able to start walking again after 2 months, but it took 7 years for the weakness to go away.
A few years later the stress of running 2 businesses, I had a restaurant and a health spa at the time, depleted my magnesium storage and created a small stroke.
I learned I had 2 genetic mutations called MTHFR and Factor V Leiden that can make you more likely to have a stroke. Now I am on a holistic enzyme protocol to make having a stroke less likely. This is part of why I am passionate about knowing what genetic mutations you may have, before they cause a problem.

Then tragedy struck. My 8 year old grandson was killed at the Baja 500.
I had my own grief, but seeing my son and his family suffer was really hard. Then that week I lost 3 more close family members suddenly.
I went to several doctors not knowing what was wrong. I was weak, had shortness of breath, and my heart hurt all the time. I made an appointment with a cardiologist. He called me a liar to my face! "Your arteries are clear, so I know you are fine." I found a new doctor. He ran tests and told me it was Broken Heart Syndrome. It is also know as Takotsubo.
Stress causes so many health issues. This was a major health issue caused by stress and grief. Usually a person gets better from Broken Heart Syndrome. Mine kept getting worse. I didn't know about toxin load in the body and how it affects every cell. I continued in my research. I was determined to get my health back even though doctors gave up on me.
I tell you all of this to say I have been there. I know how it feels to desperately want to feel better.
Given 2 years to live

Given 2 years to live
Because my health was failing so much the doctor told me I had maybe 2 years to live. I didn't tell anyone but my husband that news. I didn't want to accept that. I kept working on my own health and I didn't give up.

Because my health was failing so much the doctor told me I had maybe 2 years to live. I didn't tell anyone but my husband that news. I didn't want to accept that. I kept working on my own health and I didn't give up.
I got my health back by removing the toxic load in my body. Layers of issues, but I was determined. I worked with a Functional Practitioner and removed parasites, root canal infection, and restored my nutritional deficiencies. It took me a few years, but it was worth it!
I am glad to say the doctor's words that I would die within 2 years expired years ago!
I now go to the gym, hike, swim and enjoy life. I sleep well and have energy!
I wanted to help others so I went back to school and became a FDN practitioner, and then became a Board Certified Holistic Practitioner.
I want to share my knowledge and help others feel well again.
I love seeing my clients lives change as they feel joy and improved health, and have more energy to enjoy life.
I have two types of clients. Those who are proactive, want to find out what genetic mutations they have and do all they can to stay healthy before there are issues, and those clients who don't feel their best and want answers and help now because they feel depleted.
Both types of clients learn a lot as we look at functional lab screenings, and apply protocols to get them feeling their best. When they make the necessary changes, we see great improvement in their health.
