Sandy Muran, PhD, Holistic Nutritionist

This web page and I are perpetually “under construction”. The events of my life have blessed me with the belief that each of us has the capacity to grow and expand in the direction of our choice. There are no permanent roadblocks, only solutions waiting to be identified; thus my compass through nearly six decades.

Constant education is my doorway. Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, I was the first in my family to graduate from high school, the first to obtain both undergraduate and post graduate degrees. All my professional endeavors have centered on supporting myself and others to exploit our potential. Details of my resume can be found below. However, what may be as relevant is my path to clinical nutrition with a PhD in holistic nutrition.

My youngest son, Brian, promptly developed eczema over his entire body after I stopped nursing him at six months of age. It took several months for our pediatrician and me to determine that it was allergy based and another year, with the help of Dr. William Rea’s Environmental Medical Clinic in Dallas, TX, to identify that he was allergic to most of the foods in the standard American diet as well as common environmental triggers.

Determined that Brian would have the nutrition he needed to grow into a healthy adult, I became immersed in the nutrition requirements for a growing child, whole foods markets, rotational diets and recipes for scratch cooking. Brian grew into a college athlete and scholar, 6’4” tall and no longer afflicted with food or environmental allergies.

Maternal motivation grew into a clinical nutrition profession with a holistic perspective and the creation of Wellspring Health Services in 1989. Everyday I work with individuals to identify how their health can be optimized by removing the obstacles and acquiring the nutrients that are the foundation for living with vitality.

Each of us is designed with our own unique blueprint for health. We have the capacity to choose to grow in our knowledge, find solutions to roadblocks and exploit our health potential.
