Hello, My name is Amy Zalbowitz and I am a Certified Nutritionist living in Crested Butte, Colorado. I founded
A to Z Nutrition Therapy in 2009 to help people that are struggling with chronic diseases and suboptimal health.
My inspiration to help others stemmed from my own health problems. Ever since I was a teenager I suffered from mysterious, unidentified manifestations of which no health care practitioners could figure out the cause. My earliest symptoms arose when I was playing basketball in Junior High School. My knee swelled for unknown reasons and fluid had to be drained multiple times. This eventually forced me to quit playing. About this same time, I developed severe headaches that occurred on a daily basis. The headaches also went largely unexplained. Knowing what I know now, I have realized that these are textbook Lyme symptoms.
These and other symptoms increased in frequency and severity over the years and included: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, numerous food, chemical and environmental sensitivities, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chronic pain.
For decades I moved from one health care practitioner to another. I experimented, with very little direction using many different protocols, searching for relief of my symptoms and the hope of finding the root cause of my problems.
It wasn’t until my meeting and starting treatment with Dr. Michael Lebowitz, that my health began to improve. I sold the very successful restaurant I started and ran for 11 years and decided to study Nutrition through Nutrition Therapy Institute in Denver, Colorado.
While working on my degree, Dr. Lebowitz took me under his wing. treated me, and after I received my degree, trained me how to muscle test and implement his protocol. Through the time spent with Dr. Lebowitz and his protocols, it became apparent that my symptoms were due to untreated Lyme Disease and co-infections. The Lyme Disease was likely contracted when I was a teenager living in Upstate New York.
Dr. Lebowitz’s newly developed test kits and products began helping me with these infections, and I was in the midst of the treatments when he moved to Hawaii. At this point the progress I was making slowed, and my health began deteriorating. Armed with the Applied Kinesiology protocols learned from Dr. Lebowitz and my nutritional coursework, I began my journey to learn everything possible that I could about Lyme and its associated co-infections.
With all the knowledge I gathered and by using Dr. Lebowitz’s Applied Kinesiology test kits, Supreme Nutrition Products, and a few other brands, I experimented on myself. Through trials and steady, dedicated compliance, I made significant gains and brought myself back to health.
The combination of what I have learned from my mentor, my formal studies and successfully overcoming my own personal struggles, have given me the insight and desire to take on a role of helping others in their pursuit of better health. Through the use of these protocols and a consistency of support throughout the healing process, I have helped many people, including myself, recover from Lyme Disease and other debilitating conditions.
Presently, I lead a healthy, active lifestyle while helping others regain and maintain high levels of health in my private practice in Crested Butte and Durango, Colorado.
