Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
If you have been exposed to Biblical teaching at any point in your life, you have probably heard the verse from Jeremiah 29:11 that talks about how God has a plan for your life. This verse was part of a letter that the prophet Jeremiah wrote for the surviving elders and priests that were in exile in Babylon.
God wanted his people to build houses and settle down. They were to plant gardens and eat what they produce. They were to marry and seek peace and prosperity in their new city, being careful not to be deceived by the prophets and diviners living among them.
God promised that after seventy years passed, he would come to them and bring them out of exile. Then, Jeremiah writes
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity."
Why am I sharing this with you today? I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, but sometimes it seems like our poor health gets in the way of that plan.
When I was at my very sickest, just surviving each day consumed most of my thoughts and my energy. Serving God and fulfilling my purpose was a thought at times, but was certainly not my main priority.
Can you relate?
your purpose
Reclaim your health and fulfill your purpose.
Empower and Flourish was born out of a desire to help God's people reclaim their health so that they can fulfill their purpose. Of course God can use you even in your brokenness and sickness - no doubt about that.
But how much easier would things be if your health wasn't a stumbling block? How much more could God use you as his hands and feet if you were well?
Speaking of which, when was the last time you felt truly well? Were you in your teens? 20's? 30's? 40's?
Did you know that feeling better is possible?
We have been conditioned to believe that health is unobtainable and that our symptoms are just a normal part of aging.
Or we've been told that it's our genetics that's the problem, and there's nothing you can do about your genetics, right?
That is not actually true. You can feel better. Your symptoms can improve or possibly even go away and we can help you.
the problem
Just treating symptoms does not work. It's like running on a hamster wheel.
Now I just told you that you can feel better and your symptoms can improve or possibly even go away. But, I also need to tell you that if you keep doing the same thing over and over you will likely keep getting the same result.
That is why I like the imagery of the hamster on the wheel. That poor little creature is running with all of his might, he is trying so hard! But he will never get anywhere.
That is what it is like when you just chase your symptoms. You invest time, money, and effort into seeking a diagnosis so that you can finally start treating whatever is wrong with you. Only to discover that you still feel poorly.
This approach simply does not work. It's time to try something different.
Healing occurs when you seek out the root cause or the underlying dysfunction that is causing your symptoms in the first place. This approach is not a quick fix and it takes time and involves making some changes to your lifestyle. But it works and will give you long-lasting results.
Let's get you off that hamster wheel and onto the path towards healing.

I know what it feels like to be sick, with no hope in sight. You can feel better and we can help you.
When I was 18 years old, I served as a hospital corpsman (medic) in the United States Navy, then I served as a combat medic in the Army National Guard. When I got out of the military I worked as a nursing assistant while attending nursing school.
To say that my experiences in healthcare are varied would be quite the understatement! I have worked in orthopedics, sports medicine, pediatrics, medical/surgical, psychiatric/mental health, critical care, home health, and hospice.
Each of the healthcare specialties are different, but they also have quite a bit in common. Unfortunately, one of the things they seem to have in common is the providers’ lack of ability to zoom out and consider the big picture. That's one of the things that we do really well at Empower and Flourish.
We combine our training in Lifestyle and Functional Medicine with our training and experiences in conventional healthcare. This allows us to zoom out and consider your symptoms from a unique perspective.
A Journey To Heal Myself Naturally
Looking back it is hard to imagine that I was so sick. It seems like a lifetime ago that the rheumatologist recommended I file for disability stating "I'm so sorry. There's nothing more we can do."
I'm grateful that God has allowed me to use my own experiences to help you. Most of my 20's and 30's were spent in and out of doctor's offices praying for answers. I know exactly what it feels like to cry out to God, to deal with chronic pain, and to struggle just to make it through each day.
There is hope. I have been there. I can help you.

“It's mind blowing. Life changing is really an understatement.”
Theresa teaches information that I'd never heard before, even though I was educated as a nurse practitioner and worked in nursing since the 1990's. I had been sick for about a decade and was taking numerous prescription medications that I thought I'd have to take forever. It's frustrating to know that the answers are so simple, but no one is talking about this. I'm so grateful that my health has improved and now I have the energy to do things I hadn't been able to do for a long, long time.

Your body was created to heal itself when given the right environment and the right circumstances.
Serving God's people is our favorite thing to do.
This concept of serving permeates everything we do at Empower and Flourish. Our goal is to help you regain your health so that you can go out into the world as God's hands and feet.
Everything we teach is based on Romans Chapter 12, which explains that each of us were given different functions and different gifts.
God designed us to serve His people in unique ways and no one else can fulfill what God created you uniquely to do.

answers
Here are answers to a few Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to get started?
The best way to get started is by completing the comprehensive “How Healthy Are You” assessment and then scheduling your free consultation so we can discuss your assessment. This will give us a chance to get to know each other and for us both to determine whether or not our practice is the right fit to help you reach your health goals. Click here to sign up to take the assessment.
How are your services different from other practitioners?
After working in traditional healthcare for more than 25 years, I am well-versed in how symptoms and chronic diseases are managed in the United States. Rather than teaching you how to continue managing your symptoms, you will learn how to start making different choices that will result in different outcomes. You will learn how to support your body naturally so that it can heal itself with foods God gave us for that very purpose.
Our approach does not necessitate lots of expensive laboratory testing or thousands of dollars in supplements. We take a more minimalistic approach, focusing on how to help you reach your goals as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Supplements lab testing have their usefulness, but there are lots of ways we can support you without breaking the bank.
Do you accept health insurance?
No, I have determined that I cannot help you to seek the root cause of your symptoms and teach you how to support your body naturally within an insurance model of care. However, many HSA or FSA plans will accept my services. If you would like to use your HSA or FSA, I encourage you to check with them first to ensure their insurer permits services by an RN or MSN. Some insurers may require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from your primary care provider to be submitted to them prior to approval. More often than not, your insurance will allow you to use FSA and HSA funds, but be sure to confirm this first.
Are supplements necessary to work with you?
We believe that your body was created to heal itself when given the right environment and the right set of circumstances. Our approach considers your body in its entirely, not broken up into separate body systems. We understand that each system is dependent on the next and that you must give your body enough of what it needs to heal itself. Ideally, you will provide your body with what it needs in the form of foods rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, though strategic and targeted supplementation is often helpful.

An Invitation to Join the 90-Day Jumpstart
“When was the last time you felt truly well?” - Theresa Fallow
You're Invited!
After working in traditional healthcare for 28+ years, I discovered that many, if not most, of the patients I worked with did not know that they could get better or become truly well.
I struggled with my own health journey and was encouraged to give up and stop looking for answers. “I’m so sorry, there’s nothing more we can do for you” was a common theme spoken to me by multiple healthcare providers.
Now I know the truth. After a decade of research and working with clients, I have discovered how to help you become truly well. I know that it’s not easy to make changes, but my approach is simple, and it works.
This is what you can expect, should we determine that we are a good fit for one another, and if we choose to work together inside this program.
First, the 90-Day Jumpstart is comprised of short, daily videos. Each video ranges from 6 – 22 minutes in length and covers topics like:
Symptom management vs root cause
Perfection is not the goal
Inflammation is the root cause of disease
Label reading
Foods to eat more of
Inflammatory foods
The Non-Negotiables
Your microbiome
Environmental toxins
Weight loss
Your mental health
Epigenetics
Second, simply sharing valuable information rarely translates into lifestyle change. Therefore, each day you will have the opportunity to submit a short, simple action step directly to me. This gives us the chance to communicate on a daily basis as you progress through the program. You can use this time to ask any questions you may have, and you will receive thoughtful feedback from me.
Third, attempting to change what you eat can be overwhelming and difficult. 90 healthy recipes are included inside the program, and I am happy to offer additional recipes as needed. I will also share a few of my favorite cookbooks and websites for you to use as additional, optional references.
In order to qualify for this offer, you must be ready for a change. You must decide that what you’ve been doing is not working and that something radically different is necessary if real, long-lasting results are what you desire.
You must also be willing to spend a few hours each week in the kitchen learning to prepare healthy recipes. I am not a chef and do not expect you to become one either. However, healthy foods that will provide your body with the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients necessary for healing require some effort on your part.
The 90-Day Jumpstart is currently open for enrollment. It may be the right choice for you if you’ve been searching for the truth about what getting truly well entails. If you are tired of being reliant on traditional healthcare and on multiple prescription medications, I can help you.
You can learn more about the 90-Day Jumpstart on our services page here. Be sure to check out the three free sample videos, taken directly from days 13, 16, and 71 of the program.
If you're at all interested in this program, I encourage you to reach out to us so we can chat. Maybe it's the right fit for you, may it's not. But, even if it's not right for you right now, we may be able to offer insight into how to help you take the next step on your health journey. You can schedule your free consult here.
We look forward to speaking with you.
