Hi, I’m Rachel LaBorde, NTP.

I’m a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner , a Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner and a Certified Aromatherapist.

Welcome to Nourished By Design!  I Have a passion for using a few different modalities to getting down to the root cause of what is causing a symptom. When we experience a symptom, it is usually our bodies last ditch effort to get us to pay attention to it.

The reason I started on this journey to holistic health was actually because it saved my life. 10 years ago I was dealing with a mysterious severe liver issue that led me to Doctor after Doctor to eventually a Liver Specialist who then told me that I would inevitably need a liver transplant. When I received this news I was heartbroken, this couldn’t be the story to my life. So I left that office and rejected those words and remembered what my very wise grandfather had suggested to me. He suggested that I go see a Muscle Testing Practitioner (Applied kinesiology/ Nutrition Response Testing)  that would get down to the root cause and allow my body to do what God created it to do, heal it self. Long story short my life began after that appointment and I was back to normal with in a few short months. Since then I vowed to give back and do the same for others. I cannot wait to work with you and help you achieve the true health you have been seeking!

Testimonials

“Work with Rachel, and prepare for your life to change for the better.”

“When my health had hit an all time low, I decided to seek medical help. I began experiencing severe fatigue, joint pains, tingling and numbness in my joints, frequent urination, burning sensations in my skin, blurred vision and debilitating brain fog. I spent 5 months going to countless Dr.’ & specialist, doing countless labs & examinations. Every single one resulting in them continuously tell me I was fine, healthy & that nothing was wrong despite my numerous on-going symptoms. When my primary Dr. suggested I have a mental health evaluation, I knew I needed to try a different approach. I met Rachel & she introduced me to Nutritional Response Therapy. I began my program with her & for the first time, I felt heard & my symptoms acknowledged. She educated and tested me for things my Dr.’s never even considered. Through her program, I learned about nutrition, supplementation, environmental toxins and how they all were directly effecting my health. Through muscle testing, nutrition and supplementation my healing journey began. Weeks into the program I started to feel my health improve & my symptoms subside. Once I saw the improvement in my own health I brought in my family & close friends, who all experienced their own healing. Working with Rachel not only gave me hope again, but it literally saved my life. After months of working with her, I got the greatest gift back, which was the ability to mentally & emotionally be present with my children and my husband. Not only did nutrition response testing start my healing journey, but it changed my lifestyle permanently, as well as my children’s and loved ones. I’ll forever be grateful to Rachel for her education, care and guiding me through this life giving alternative health approach”

“Rachel is not only a phenomenal person, she’s an extraordinary holistic healer. This woman has changed my life in ways that may be hard to articulate, but I’ll try my best. I started with Rachel because of brain fog, reproductive issues, food sensitivities, irritability, stemming from seasonal depression, and an unhealthy gut. Rachel assessed my issues during various virtual calls and immediately started me on a specific protocol that addressed the environmental toxins, parasites, sensitivities, low vitamin D levels, and more. After about two weeks, my brain fog started to lift, which was evidenced by the ability to recall and retrieve information, along with cognitive clarity. Next, my body started to effectively break down foods, which resulted in over 20 pounds of weight loss. The seasonal depression lifted tremendously and I haven’t had the negative thoughts associated with the illness. It’s been over a year that I’ve been with Rachel, and I have now completed all 5 stages of the protocols and I feel like a new woman! I’m more joyful, present, emotionally available, and knowledgeable of healthy living. Rachel has taught me what foods to avoid and how to combat those foods once ingested. She is a gift to me and everyone around her. If you’re ready to challenge yourself to make the best investment of your life, work with Rachel, and prepare for your life to change for the better”
