Karen Irons (Wright) NTP, MTCM, L.Ac., FABORM
Nutritional Therapy Practitioner • Natural Medicine Clinician
Work with me...
I am a "nutrition first" practitioner. Not only will you learn how to nourish yourself as God intended for humans to eat to thrive, you will learn why this is correct, and you will learn what to do to be successful in your daily life, no matter how full your life is.
​
When a person gets their nutritional, mental, physical, and spiritual health dialed in, the way God designed for human life, nothing is impossible! From a diagnosis you thought you were stuck with forever, to starting or growing your family easily and holistically, I am here to help you heal quickly, effectively and in completeness.
​
Together (always with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit), we will get you as healed as possible.

"I knew from the first time I met Karen, she was here to help heal me where I didn't know I needed it the most. I felt like something was 'off'. Her advice went against everything we are told is healthy. By putting into practice her wisdoms and trusting her process, I've been successful on a journey of healing. Not just the body, but my soul. I am forever grateful. With Love, Maria"
"Karen takes the time to walk and talk through everything, and I am confident even a nervous patient would feel comfortable with her. There is no agenda being pushed, and the advice and counseling you receive is dictated by your own willingness and capabilities. I feel heard as a patient and am offered customized guidance that I wouldn't be able to find in most places."

"I've stuck to the diet changes now for a few months. I have lost 12lbs (and kept it off) while adding muscle and gaining strength. In total, I feel pretty fantastic! A recent endoscopy confirmed that everything is now healthy internally!" Andy S.
My approach, a little about me, & my education
I have worked in the medical health field since my first job in 1991.
My first job at 14 progressed quickly from dog walker to veterinary technician. I have always also loved helping people, so I went to nursing school while also enrolled as pre-veterinary. My career as a nurse was short lived after witnessing medical compromise amongst the hospital staff. While pre-vet I worked for a veterinarian using acupuncture and herbal remedies on her animal patients with incredible results. I enrolled in Chinese Medical school, graduating as an acupuncturist and Master Herbalist, and have been working as a practitioner of natural medicine since 2008.
​
I have completed multiple extended trainings (both allopathic and holistic) in Fertility Medicine (even becoming Board Certified), as well as becoming a certified nutritionist.
​
I also used to be very ill. I had what is known as Multiple Sclerosis. I had multiple other chronic inflammatory illnesses that brought me to the ER several times, and at it's peak left me some days with transient paralysis of my legs, I was terrified for my health.
In 2011, feeling totally out of options, and having tried nearly everything...God spoke one clear sentence to me. He said "Reverse engineer your diet." Three days later I did just that, and 3 months later I had ZERO SYMPTOMS. To this day I have zero health issues.
​
After several years of researching how and why "reverse engineering" my diet from vegan/vegetarianism to animal based/carnivore cured me (my studies were beautifully led by the Holy Spirit), I reached the place where I could teach my patients how to have the same results.
​
My approach is this: There is a common dietary foundation all humans need to follow. This is the place I start with all my clients. As healing progresses, the unique design of the house built upon that foundation is revealed and we arrive at the ideal diet for each individual.
​
I teach and treat each one of my clients uniquely to their needs, their lifestyle, their energy levels, and their willingness.
