What is health? Health is when all of the parts of your body are functioning and coordinating as they're meant to do. Contrary to popular belief, the absence of symptoms does not necessarily indicate health. Our bodies are very resilient and can put up with a lot before letting us know that something is wrong.
Once we start to notice the symptoms, however, we are usually no longer at the beginning of an imbalance or illness - we're already farther down the path to degeneration. Birgit's focus is on helping people who are frustrated with their trial and error experience in striving to achieve improved health.

Have been significantly impacted by their conditions and sometimes even have felt the impact on their families and career. Have realized that they can only be helped if the real source of the problem is found and corrected. My unique approach combines kinesiology with blood type diet/lifestyle. Over the years, I have experienced this to work just beautifully.
Your body is designed to rid itself of toxins on a daily basis. However, our environment has become quite toxic and the body can become overloaded. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hundreds of synthetic chemicals are present in our bodies. These chemicals can disrupt our immune, endocrine, nervous and reproductive systems.
All of us have memories of experiences in our childhood, even if we are not anymore aware of them. These experiences have emotional responses attached. In the body, these responses can be measured as neurochemicals and are called Information Substances. To simplify: negative emotions as response to stress are stored in our cells and may interfere with normal processes in the body preventing well-being.
There is more to good health than eating well and exercising. Relationships, spirituality, career, finances, leisure time, etc. affect what and how we eat. I take a holistic approach to supporting the entire person. As a holistic health counselor, I help my clients feel their best through food and lifestyle changes that are tailored to their individual needs.
Health challenges come in many forms, expressions, symptoms, and variations. No two people are the same and though they may present the same symptoms, their journey of healing may look very different from each other. To us, a diagnosis is not really important. Just because two people have diabetes, doesn't mean their bodies have the same requirements.

Many thanks to Birgit! I love food for all reasons both health and pleasure. When I started to get negative reactions from my food choices, I wanted better understand why and what I should avoid and eat more of. I feel so good knowing what is optimal for my body. Oh, I got all my negative energy cleared which was life changing really. B Balanced is the choice for me.

Since I started seeing Birgit about 7 months ago, I have seen noticable improvements in my overall health, especially physically. My adult acne is clearing, the physical symptoms of my menstrual cycle are so much easier to deal with, and I'm losing some weight (due to Birgit's recommended diet changes and exercise). Birgit will tell you what you need to do and why, outlining it all for you in a way that is easy to understand (unlike most doctors) and entirely customizable to your personal needs.
Birgit Witherspoon is one of the kindest and most personable people you will ever meet and is so intuitive

Birgit is amazing! She was very knowledgeable and thorough during my initial consultation and thereafter. I have been going to her for over a year now and not only has she pin pointed my problem - she inadvertently helped us with fertility and my partner of 13 years and I became pregnant! She is now seeing my son and I together and I couldn't be happier. I came to her for issues with my inconsistent period and not feeling 100% despite having a 'relatively good diet' and I came to find out through Birgit that some of those healthy foods were actually harming me and gave me alternatives

Birgit is astounding! I was looking for nutritional healing and what I got was soooo much more. Her depth of knowledge blew me away. Not only did she offer nutritional advice that has ACTUALLY worked (it's been so much easier than anything else I've ever tried) she solved my food sensitivity issues. I've learned that none of us have to live with a difficult diet or food sensitivities. Additionally, she does emotional work that will knock your socks off. I am a real person and I am no fool; Birgit is the real deal. Get your life back like I did!!

Birgit opened my eyes to a different way of maintaining my health. Before meeting her, I never knew about the Blood Type Diet and how your body responds to certain foods based on your blood type, and why foods that my body processes quite well don't work for my wife. I have found her to be very knowledgeable about all aspects of nutrition and would highly recommend her if you've been considering ways to improve your health!

After a number of visits to doctors, a visit to urgent with a ride in an ambulance to ER and more visits to the doctors with out any results.
I spoke with a friend who went to Birgit Witherspoon for a different reason and had positive results.
I called and made an appointment in less than a months time the results have been amazing. Side effects I've been loosing weight 16 lbs so far off my high blood pressure and cholesterol medications.
If you are discouraged with "doctors" call Birgit and let her know I sent you...I believe you'll be pleased.

I wasn't sure that seeing a nutritionist would help, but I decided to give it a try, and boy am I glad I did. In two sessions, Birgit solved a problem that has been bothering me for years!! Her evaluation was extensive but not intrusive; her testing was easy, and didn't even require a blood draw (whew!!)
I *thought* I was doing all the right things for a healthy diet, but it turns out, Birgit identified several common things I was eating regularly (chicken? corn? coconut?? -really???) that were causing problems with my particular body chemistry. Just avoiding those three items has made

I've been seeing Birgit on and off for many years. She is very intuitive in her practice, and I have had much success in fixing both big and small health problems. I don't feel like I need to be the perfect healthy eater, either. She has a great attitude of balancing your diet with your own life and tastes! If you want to take your health to the next level, and are tired of trying things that don't work, give her a call.

I have been seeing Birgit for around 7 months now. Before Birgit I have spent many years looking for someone who could help me find the core to my health issues. Because of her amazing intuitive abilities and kind care she was able to help me feel better than I have for as long as I can remember. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel cared for and feel comfortable in the process of healing both physically and mentally. Her process of teaching you what your body needs with diet and supplements as well as what you body needs to avoid has been invaluable to me. No guessing games when

I highly recommend Birgit Witherspoon & b balanced. I had been diagnosed with gout and basically was told by my medical doctor to quit eating red meats, any type of beans and not eat to many fried foods..OK made sense to me..And I was prescribed some medication to clear up the uric acid in my system. I took the medication for months and didn't observe any changes and the gout pain remained in my big toes..I couldn't wear dress shoes for more than an hour without experiencing intense pain. A friend of mine recommended Birgit to me to help with my gout. I went to see Birgit..I told

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease and was scheduled to have my thyroid irradiated when Birgit offered an alternative solution. With her help over the last 2 years, i totally changed my diet and significantly reduced the amount of medication required to keep my hyperthyroid under control. She is so skillful with the use of nutritional supplements to keep me healthy and feeling great

Birgit Witherspoon, owner/operator of B Balanced is an intuitive Wizard at reading the innate intelligence of the body. She treats me as the unique individual I am. She has addressed dysfunctional issues that have plagued me when other very wise practitioners have not been able to. I am a holistic D.C. I have seen extraordinary healing in my patients with Standard Process supplements. It was a no brainer for me to seek a nutritionist who uses SP products in her management of those of us willingly to be pro-active about our Wellness. Sincerely Dr. Maria T. Larsen

I wanted to understand what my body likes/doesn't like instead of playing the guessing game like I've done my whole life. Seeking Birgit's help was the best decision towards my goal. Her body detection scan was not only intriguing, but very insightful. We continue to work on my health goals and understanding my body. I would definitely recommend Birgit and BBalanced!

I saw Birgit for help with some "belly issues". I am a new vegetarian and wanted to make sure I was getting everything I needed. Boy, was I wrong! Well, she did some cool muscle testing (?) and identified what I was missing and suggested a couple of supplements. I have been taking them and feel much better! Definitely recommend Birgit!!
