Restoring Health at the Deepest Level

When your health is eroded and your body is exhausted, and stuck in a state of chronic inflammatory stress, the usual modalities often aren't enough. 

At Healthier By Choice we help people who have suffered major health or life upheavals, rediscover their body's ability to regulate and recover. 

​

This work is designed for people with long-standing, complex, or debilitating health conditions where conventional approaches have been unable to create lasting change. 

​

Our focus is on supporting deep physiological calm so the body’s own healing intelligence can be restored. This work addresses the driving emotional, neurological, immune, microbial, toxic and structural stress patterns that tend to keep the body locked in a cycle of danger, fatigue, degeneration, pain and inflammation. 

​

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, FSM works at the level of deep regulation. In practice, once the body begins to shift its internal state from threat to safety, the healing process can be strenghtened and reactivated.  This work moves the body from

• threat → safety

• rigidity → adaptability

• dysregulation → regulation

• overwhelmed → effective​

We live in an inflammatory world

The modern world places an unprecedented inflammatory and neurological burden on the human body.

The Cell Danger Response, a process discovered by was coined by Dr Robert Naviaux is a protective metabolic and immune state in which cells reduce normal communication and prioritise survival in response to perceived threat, and the term .

​

Dr Robert Naviaux is an American physician and biomedical researcher, best known as a Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pathology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and as the founding director of the UCSD Mitochondrial and Metabolic Disease Center. His work focuses on mitochondrial function, metabolism, innate immunity, and how cells respond to danger, which led to his formulation of the Cell Danger Response theory. Our work is informed by his powerful research and we are grateful for tireless work in this arena. 

​

In simple terms, the Cell Danger Response is increasingly activated by:
• bacterial and viral infections
• post-viral syndromes including long COVID
• immune stressors and chronic inflammation
• chemical exposures in food and agriculture
• damaged industrial seed oils
• medications and medical interventions
• chronic psychological and environmental stress

These factors overwhelm cellular signalling and disrupt the systems responsible for repair and recovery.

It is becoming increasingly clear that chronic inflammation today is more persistent, layered, complex and resistant to the usual treatments than in previous decades. In many people, the Cell Danger Response remains switched on because the original drivers of stress and injury are never fully resolved.

​

When this happens, the feedback loops designed to restore balance cannot engage. The body becomes locked in survival physiology.

​​

Our work together focuses on restoring regulation, reducing inflammatory drivers, and supporting your body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal. When the right conditions are created, the body has a remarkable ability to recover, even from long-standing or complex health challenges.
