RNC Restorative Health Program
Dementia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anxiety, depression, erectile dysfunction, PCOS, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, frailty, decreased mobility,....these are all diseases and conditions that do not just appear one day. All of these diseases start to simmer in our 30s, 40s and 50s without us even being aware. Our bodies try to overcome the unhealthy habits that we have practiced through these decades, but eventually our bodies will no longer maintain homeostasis. The RNC Restorative Health Program works with clients to treat the upstream cause of these diseases in order to significantly decrease the risk of acquiring these diseases and to reverse the cause as a means to restore health
​
For example, dementia starts 20-30 years in our bodies before we see the first signs of short-term memory loss. Diabetes (Type-2) may start with 20-30 years of insulin resistance before blood glucose levels are abnormally elevated. Erectile Dysfunction and PCOS may also be caused by years of insulin resistance before the symptoms of these conditions are eventually revealed.
People end up in "old folks homes" because they can not longer think or move (eg: dementia or functional mobility problems and frailty). A diagnosis of dementia has no treatment. The treatment is: get your affairs in order and good luck. Many of these people can no longer get out of a chair by themselves. Unfortunately, these people are unsafe to remain at home and eventually cause caregiver burnout to spouses or other family members.
​
These conditions and diseases result in a plethora of prescribed pharmaceutical medications - that do not make us healthier, rather may further contribute to disability and frailty. Contrary to popular belief, risks for developing chronic diseases can be significantly minimized. Over-reliance on our medical system has not helped us become healthier. Our current medical system still hangs on to and endorses archaic and futile concepts such BMI and body types such as 'mesomorph' that are poor baseline information and means little further leaving people feeling disenfranchised from their health. Many myths from the 1970s onward, such as "eat less and move more" do not biochemically work and set us up for failure. Salt, sunshine, and saturated fats are NOT the villains that we were conditioned to believe; rather, these elements are crucial to contributing to our good health and lack of consumption or exposure impairs our health. ​Furthermore, there currently exists a jungle of overwhelming and contradicting dogmatic health information.
​
The RNC Restorative Health Program is designed to teach and empower clients on how the body responds and adapts to internal and external stimuli (biochemically, biomechanically) as a means to make informed choices to restore our health and to treat the upstream cause of diseases in order to significantly decrease the risk of acquiring any of these diseases. Improving health does NOT involve using a scale to measure weight, nor does it involve counting calories; these practices continue to be pushed and result in failure almost every time. Rather, The RNC Restorative Health Program successfully empowers and facilitates knowledge to teach clients "why" our body historically responds the way it does and how to change this response in a sustainable way to restore health. Once a consistent pattern of changing the stimuli is developed, fat loss becomes a side effect! Better sleep becomes a side effect! Stronger bodies becomes a side effect! AND, potential reversal of chronic diseases also becomes a side effect! Lori's clients consistently react by stating: "how has nobody told us this before?"
​
The RNC Restorative Health Program is a 10-week program designed from the best evidence-based quality components from Harvard Medical School, Cornell University, and the Functional Medicine Paradigm. Based on the client's goals, health history and assessment findings, unique and collaborative planning is developed based on the best quality evidence-based practice to maximize the best health outcomes for the client. The design of a ten-week program was strategically developed to support the client through sustainability of a new health-driven way of being.
​
The RNC Restorative Health Program includes an extensive and thorough health history intake assessment that provides important unique client baseline information. Lori reviews and consolidations this information prior to the first session in order to collaborate with the client to restore their health. The first session is very extensive, filled with personalized 1 : 1 dialogue with each client individually, and takes 90 minutes to complete. Follow-up sessions are weekly and new foundations are discussed at each subsequent session for implementation according to the client's gaps and goals for restorative health. Clients have access to Lori's email for responses within 24h for any support of the previous weeks' content. By the end of week 10, client's consistently and successfully feel fulfilled with factual and adaptable knowledge to make informed choices to restore their health, and are well supported along the way.
​
The RNC Restorative Health Program cost is $699 for the ten-week program which is equivalent to $9.99 per day over 10 weeks. Becoming a client of RN Collaborate also enables free access to primary health care services, including assessment at treatment of acute infections (throat infections, eye infections, ear infections, skin infections, UTIs, STIs, contraception management, etc).

People who are using GLP-1 Agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy).
These medications are an excellent tool to help with weight loss but unfortunately are prescribed without teaching how to maintain weight loss. Numerous research studies are now revealing that people do lose weight from eating less but the weight loss is not sustained. This is because the weight loss is a combination of both fat and muscle. Loss of muscle is detrimental to both healthy metabolism and functional mobility. People plateau from weight loss because internal metabolism has a new set point (now decreased), which prevents further weight loss. Without proper teaching about optimizing all ways for continued success on GLP-1 Agonists, people are regaining the weight, but replacing the weight in the form of fat only, and not muscle. This results in decreased metabolism resulting in worse health and increased weight compared to when they started the GLP-1 Agonist. RN Collaborate is now working with clients who are using GLP-1 agonists to ensure sustainable and healthy weight loss. ​​​​​​​​​
