About

Debbie Thompson

I’m Debbie, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner and ReCODE 2.0 Specialist dedicated to helping people uncover the root causes of illness, restore vibrant energy, and prevent cognitive decline.

My work combines functional lab testing, lifestyle strategies, and personalized protocols to create true healing opportunities—beyond just managing symptoms. With additional training in Functional and Integrative Psychiatry, I specialize in supporting both physical and cognitive health so my clients can thrive at every stage of life.

I was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, where a close-knit family and diverse traditions shaped who I am. This upbringing instilled in me a deep loyalty and appreciation for family, as well as the perseverance and fortitude to overcome any challenges that arise.

I’m married to my wonderful husband, Bob, who brings partnership and laughter to our life together. My three incredible children—Aaron, Mimi, and Bobby—inspire me every day to be an inspiration for others as I witness them overcoming their struggles and creating magnificent lives.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m a mom, wife, and lifelong learner who finds joy in family, wellness, and empowering others to take control of their health. My journey began as a young mother determined to protect my children’s health after devastating experiences with misdiagnosis and chronic illness. Those moments sparked a lifelong passion for holistic healing and continue to fuel my commitment to helping others.

My Journey

My passion for functional health began in crisis.

As a young mom, I trusted doctors to guide me—but when my ten-year-old son’s ruptured appendix was misdiagnosed as indigestion, it nearly cost him his life. That moment lit a fire in me to understand how such a dangerous mistake could happen—and how to prevent it.

For the next 30 years, I dove deep into research, exploring nutrition, alternative therapies, and root-cause medicine. Friends and family soon began seeking my advice, and I witnessed remarkable transformations—my mother avoided gallbladder surgery, an aunt regained independence after a stroke, and a relative healed after cancer treatments had damaged her liver and kidneys. These experiences confirmed what I already knew: the body can heal when we uncover and remove the barriers standing in its way.

My Greatest Lessons

My most powerful lessons came from my youngest son.

Despite being tall and athletic, he struggled with fatigue, poor sleep, and eventually suffered a grand mal seizure at sixteen. Conventional doctors offered lifelong medication, but no answers. I searched tirelessly, uncovering a web of root causes—from gluten sensitivity and mineral depletion to jaw misalignment and neurotransmitter imbalances. Each specialist treated a piece of the puzzle, but no one looked at the whole picture.

That’s when I found Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®. At last, an approach that connected the dots—using functional testing and a holistic framework to identify hidden stressors, restore balance, and unlock vibrant health. I added advanced certifications in Integrative Psychiatry and ReCODE 2.0 (a program proven to reverse cognitive decline), equipping me to address both physical and cognitive challenges.

My personal journey also deepened when I watched my own mother’s decline with dementia. What started as simple forgetfulness in her fifties became heartbreaking memory loss and personality changes by her eighties. Caring for her revealed the emotional, physical, and financial toll cognitive decline takes on families. But discovering that dementia often begins decades before symptoms—and can be prevented—changed everything for me.

Let's take action TOGETHER.

Today, I help clients take action before it’s too late. Together, we uncover hidden health blockers, restore energy, and protect long-term vitality. Chronic illnesses like cancer, autoimmune disease, and dementia are striking earlier than ever, but with the right tools and strategies, they can often be prevented. My work ensures that you and your loved ones can live with sharp focus, vibrant energy, and freedom from the heartbreak of preventable illness.
