MEET WILLIE
I SPECIALIZE IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF ISSUES
My name is Willie Victor and I am the owner of Essentials for Health. With over 30 years of experience in the medical field and one hundred hours of continuing education yearly, I am here to help you identify your symptoms and work to resolve them using the newest techniques in clinical nutrition. The foods causing your symptoms are not always obvious. I can help you track them down and alongside your physician's protocol to regain your health.
As a Certified Nutrition Consultant, I work with clients locally, nationally, and globally who have GI issues, infertility, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, learning disabilities, allergies, asthma, weight issues and various autoimmune diseases.
Call me today for a complimentary, no-obligation consultation.
PHILOSOPHY & HISTORY
I adopted the philosophy of Hippocrates who said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." In that same vain, I also believe that one man's food can be another man's poison. Subsequently, my mission for my clients is based on one simple philosophy: If you heal the gut, 95% of the issues will go away.
I was very sick as a child and spent about a year and a half in the hospital. My personal health issues turned out to be diet-related and have definitely been a catalyst for me wanting to help others with their own issues.
I worked 30 years in acute care as a Respiratory Therapist (I am no longer licensed and working in that field).
I earned an AS degree in Respiratory Therapy and later completed a two-year certified program in Science-Based Holistic Nutrition. I've completed numerous CEU programs in nutrition, including Mastering Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Functional Endocrinology, Mastering Brain Chemistry as well as numerous courses on autoimmunity and its relationship to food and nutrition.
In 1990, I partnered with an endocrinologist in Sacramento and opened Healthy Image, a medically supervised food program. We worked together to promote weight loss and addressed, in some cases, severe obesity. I have since opened Essentials for Health and am now working alongside a prominent gastroenterologist here in Marin. Together, we address digestive issues, some of which require nutritional support for medical treatments and some that can be resolved by addressing nutrition alone.
