This is not a quick-fix program, and it takes time to see changes. Though you may see certain improvements immediately, three months is the average amount it time it takes for most people to see significant results. You owe it to yourself!

Please email me at holly@hollyfisherhiggins.com for pricing — I’ll be happy to let you know the cost of the program, and to answer any questions you have.

For new clients, I don’t. It takes time to see healing, and I want you to make a commitment to yourself to see that through.

I use Zoom Video Conferencing for all of my sessions, which is quick and easy to download. It’s very similar to Skype. You can wear your comfy pants — I don’t judge!

If you’d prefer to have our coaching sessions over the phone, we can do that, too.

All communication outside of our sessions will take place over email.

Most of my appointment times are in the afternoons and evenings on EST. I do have flexible hours to accomodate those in different time zones.

I do not. However, some of my clients find that they are able to pay with their HSA/Flex spending accounts. Check with your provider to see if this is an option for you.

My philosophy is based in ancestral nutrition, and while I am not dogmatic about any particular approach, my suggestions are rooted in the paradigms of Weston A. Price, Whole30, paleo, primal, GAPS, and “real food” eating styles. I’m not going to have you count anything, you’re not going to eat rice cakes, and your food is going to taste damn good if I have anything to say about it.

Please note that I do not work with vegetarians who are unwilling to incorporate animal products into their diet. There is a strong link between vegetarianism and mental health issues, and I do not advocate long-term vegetarian diets for this reason.

If you start the program, we’ll make changes at a pace that works for you. I’ll help you learn how to make the best choices when cooking at home and dining out. Clients who have the most success with this program start an anti-inflammatory elimination diet to identify food sensitivities, and then gradually add items back in to assess tolerance.

First, know that I have a food-first focus in my practice, and I only recommend supplements when I think they’re necessary.

As a general rule of thumb, I never suggest more than 5 supplements at a time. However, the supplements I recommend are clinical grade, and they are more expensive (and more effective) than what is available over the counter. My clients typically spend $25-$100 per month on supplements, depending on their unique protocols.

If cost is a concern for you, or you aren’t comfortable using supplements, please let me know — I am happy to accommodate you!

Of course! I will always research your medications and make sure my recommendations are not contraindicated. (For example, certain dietary supplements and foods cannot be taken with certain medications.)

Please note that you do not need to have a goal of coming off medication in order to work with me. I do not believe in stigmatizing medication, and you can read more about my stance on that here.

Providing direct advice about how to taper your antidepressant (or any other medication) is outside of the scope of my practice, and I do not do this.

However, I can point you to resources that you can share with your doctor or psychiatrist to help you create an informed plan together. You should never try to quit psychiatric medications on your own, or quit them cold turkey.

Many people find that adopting a supportive nutrition program (like mine) makes the medication tapering process much easier. However, you must adjust your medication under the supervision of a licensed provider.

Whether it’s the holidays, an important event, or traveling, it seems like there is always something getting in the way of change. The fact is, there will never be a perfect time. Change happens when you DECIDE you are ready for it, despite inconveniences and obstacles.

That being said, there are circumstances when it truly isn’t the right time to do this program. If you are uncertain, please email me with your concerns, and I can tell you whether or not my program would be a good fit.
