The 12-week coaching program changed how I move through my whole day. The weekly check-ins kept me honest and accountable.

The Root of It
Your symptoms are signals, not the problem.
You can probably already list them. You’re tired even after a full night’s sleep. Your digestion is unpredictable. Your weight, blood sugar or cholesterol won’t move. Your mood, focus or hormones feel off, and you can’t remember the last time you felt really well.
You’ve tried the elimination diet, the supplement stack, the sleep app and the new wellness protocol. You may have been told your labs are “normal.” Each change helped a little, and then you ended up back where you started.
That’s because symptoms are usually the end of a chain. The root is often a combination of how you eat, sleep, move and handle stress, your relationships and environment, and how your body’s systems — gut, metabolism, hormones, immune and nervous system — have adapted to all of it over time.
Most care treats each symptom on its own. The Posture Lab Method works at the root. We map what set you up for this, what triggered it and what keeps it going, then work through those factors in order of priority until your body has what it needs to work well again.
You get a clear process to follow step by step, a clinician in your corner who checks in and adjusts the plan as you go, and a group of people doing the same work.
You don’t need to tick every box
Does any of this sound familiar?
01
You’re tired all the time.
You sleep, but you don’t wake up rested. You rely on caffeine in the morning and crash in the afternoon.
02
Your labs are “normal,” but you’re not.
Your bloodwork came back fine, yet you still don’t feel well. Nobody has connected the dots between your symptoms.
03
Your gut is always off.
Bloating, reflux, irregularity or food reactions are part of daily life, and you’re not sure what’s safe to eat anymore.
04
Your weight or blood sugar won’t budge.
You’re doing what you’re told, but the scale, your waistline or your numbers aren’t changing.
05
You’re wired but tired.
Stress runs high, your mind won’t switch off at night, and rest never feels like enough.
06
Your mood and focus have slipped.
Brain fog, low motivation, anxiety or irritability have crept in, and you feel less like yourself.
07
You’ve collected a cabinet full of fixes.
Supplements, powders, wearables, apps and protocols. Lots of effort and money, but no plan.
What you’ve already tried
More information isn’t the same as better health.
You learned a lot and tried new things. Then the same symptoms came back.
What’s usually missing isn’t another protocol. It’s a process: the right changes, in the right order, for your body, with someone checking that they’re actually working. That’s where I come in.

What you get
Introducing the Posture Lab Method.
Treating one symptom at a time rarely changes how you feel overall. Lasting change happens when you work on what’s underneath, with a clinician in your corner and a group of people doing the same work.
01 · The root-cause process
Six stages. One healthier system.
Each stage works on a different root of dysfunction. I set the order based on your intake findings and what’s happening in your life.
Stage 01 of 06
Find the Root
Instead of guessing, we map it.
A detailed functional-medicine intake builds your health timeline and looks at antecedents (what set you up), triggers (what started it) and mediators (what keeps it going) across body, mind and environment. We review any labs you already have, organize everything into a clear picture of your systems, and rank each factor by priority. Those priorities become your plan.
Where you end up
A clear map of why you feel the way you do, and what to work on first.
Stage 02 of 06
Nourish
Food is information for every cell.
A whole-food, plant-predominant approach tailored to you, focused on steady blood sugar, gut health and lower inflammation. No fad diets, just a way of eating you can keep.
Where you end up
Steadier energy, calmer digestion and a way of eating that works for you.
Stage 03 of 06
Restore Sleep
Your body repairs itself while you sleep.
We rebuild your circadian rhythm with light, timing, evening routines and sleep environment, so your sleep actually restores you.
Where you end up
Waking up rested, without relying on caffeine to get going.
Stage 04 of 06
Regulate Stress
A body stuck in stress mode can’t heal.
Breathwork, mindfulness-based stress reduction and nervous-system practices help your body shift out of constant alert, which affects digestion, hormones, sleep and mood.
Where you end up
Calm you can come back to, even on hard days.
Stage 05 of 06
Move
Movement is medicine for metabolism, mood and longevity.
Daily movement, strength and mobility training, and yoga, delivered through your app and matched to your current capacity, so exercise supports your health instead of draining it.
Where you end up
A body that feels strong, capable and energized.
Stage 06 of 06
Connect & Sustain
Health is built in daily life, not in an appointment.
We look at your relationships, sense of purpose, time in nature, environment, and habits around alcohol and other substances, then lock in the routines that keep everything you’ve built working for good.
Where you end up
A life and a routine that keep you well.
What you do
- 1
Map every factor, together
On your initial consultation, we go through your intake and timeline and rank every contributing factor by priority.
- 2
Understand how your body works
You learn why your systems respond the way they do, so every change makes sense and you can trust it.
- 3
Work one priority at a time
Each phase focuses on the highest-priority factor, and we track how your symptoms, habits and measures change.
- 4
Keep going until it holds
We move through each stage until your new habits are simply how you live.
02 · The feedback loop
A clinician in your corner, all the way through.
The process is the work. What makes it stick is having someone in your corner. You message me about what came up, and I adjust the plan with you.
Ongoing
Direct messaging
Message me, and I want you to.
Send me a question, a rough day, a meal you’re unsure about or your sleep data. I’ll review it and adjust your plan, usually within one business day. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll reach out so you don’t fall off.
Every two weeks
Your video check-in
A short video on your progress and the plan ahead.
A 5–10 minute video covering your symptom scores, habit consistency, energy, sleep and other measures. We find what to change and plan the next two weeks, so you always know what to do.
Once a month
Your 1:1 session
About an hour, going deep.
In person in Telluride or virtually. We look back at the month, reassess your priorities, work through what came up and leave with a plan for the month ahead.
03 · The environment
A group doing the same work.
Working through the same challenges, with the same process, and speaking the same language.
01
Live movement, yoga & meditation
Regular group classes that support your body and nervous system.
02
Lectures
Live talks on nutrition, sleep, stress, mindfulness, movement and recovery. Recorded if you can’t make it live.
03
Your program app
Your plan, habits, exercises and progress in one place, through Trainerize.
04
Community check-ins
A group of clients working through the same process and challenges.

Living abroad, I never thought I'd get this level of personalized care. The virtual consults are just as attentive as being in the room.
Calm, intentional, and genuinely caring. The new office on B Street is beautiful and Dr. Sheraze makes you feel truly seen.

Why I practice this way.
Over more than ten years and thousands of patients, I kept seeing the same thing: people would make real progress in a supportive setting, then slowly drift back once daily life took over.
My years at True North Health Center showed me how much changes when you treat the whole person through lifestyle — nutrition, sleep, stress, movement and connection. My training in functional and lifestyle medicine gave me a way to find the root of why someone doesn’t feel well, and to support them once they’re back home.
The Posture Lab Method is how I close that gap: a clear process, in the right order, with me in your corner the whole way.

Before you book
I want you to know if this is a fit before you book.
I’d rather be clear now than waste your time.
This is for you if
- You don’t feel well, and nobody has explained why.
- You want to understand the root cause, not just manage symptoms.
- You’re ready to change how you eat, sleep, move and handle stress.
- You want a plan built for you, not a generic protocol.
- You want to prevent problems, not just react to them.
This is not for you if
- You want a pill or supplement to fix everything.
- You aren’t willing to change any daily habits.
- You want me to fix it while everything else stays the same.
- You’re waiting for the “perfect time” to start.

Questions clients ask first
Answers before you book.
How is this different from seeing my regular doctor?
Conventional care is essential for diagnosing and treating disease, and this works alongside it. The difference is time and focus. We spend that time on the lifestyle and functional factors behind your symptoms, and I stay in contact between sessions instead of only seeing you at appointments.
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine looks at how your body’s systems interact and asks why a symptom is happening, not just what to call it. It maps your history, triggers and daily habits to find root causes. Lifestyle medicine then uses nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, connection and healthy habits to address them.
Will I need to stop my medications?
No. Never change or stop a medication without your prescribing doctor. If your health improves, that’s a conversation to have with them.
Do I need lab work?
Not to start. We review any labs you already have, and if further testing would help, I’ll recommend tests to discuss with your physician.
Will I have to take a lot of supplements?
The foundation is food, sleep, stress, movement and connection. Supplements are only suggested when there’s a clear reason, and many clients end up taking fewer than before.
How much time does it take each day?
Most people spend about 20–30 minutes a day on their plan, much of it built into things you already do, like meals and your evening routine.
How long until I notice a change?
It varies by person. Many people notice changes in energy, sleep or digestion in the first few weeks, and the program is designed around lasting change over three to six months. I can’t promise a specific result, but you’ll see your progress measured every two weeks.
Is this in person or online?
Both. You can work with me in person in Telluride, fully online, or a mix of both.
