As the founder of Health and Home, I am devoted to helping our clients get to the root cause of their health symptoms.
We do a deep dive into your health history, home environment, and nutritional status as our baseline. From there, we utilize the most up-to-date, effective lab testing with critical interpretation to develop a personalized plan to get you on your way to healing and living a life full of energy and vitality.
This is my goal — to get you living your best life.
With optimal health anything is possible
Our comprehensive research and experience are focused on helping you feel good every day of your long and joyous life.
My practice is structured to get to your deepest concerns and the root causes that need attention. A diagnostic series gets up close and personal and concludes with a roadmap for the next quarter or the next year, with clear prioritization and agreements to act.
This is the core of our offering—to help you articulate the vision you have for yourself and/or your loved ones, understand what in your health and home is holding you back, and then create a roadmap for your improvement, while supporting your first steps in the journey. From there, we remain by your side when you need us most.

A La Carte
Pantry clean-out
Do you envision a beautiful pantry or refrigerator stocked with your just-right foods? Or do you wonder if the foods you already stock have ingredients that might night be supporting your health? I believe everything you eat is either promoting your health or detracting from health. What you don’t eat is just as important as what you eat. Let me guide you on the right path.
Clean Swaps
Unsure of what household cleaning products to buy, personal hygiene products to use, cooking pans to use etc? What kind of mattress and pillows should you sleep on, furniture to buy? What about EMF exposure? Did you know there are ways to set your home up to mitigate EMF damage? I will guide you to buy items for your home with confidence and create a clean, healthy living environment. This can be done in person if you are local or through a virtual consult.
4 Month Program
Month One
ASSESSMENT & TIER 1 RECOMMENDATIONS
1:1 time is 1 (90) min evaluation and 1 (60) min lab review
We’re out of the starting gate! We kick off the program together with a more thorough understanding of your health. This is when we discuss your symptoms, health history, your goals, and your “why” for investing in yourself. This phase also kicks off the lab testing to determine where you are against a variety of important markers.

While we wait for lab results, we begin addressing strategies that can quickly generate big improvements like diet, sleep, stress relief, home environment, and removal of toxicities. When the lab results return we will have our 60 min lab review and you will get a thorough interpretation of your specific markers and personalized recommendations.
Month Two
INTEGRATIONS & TIER 2 RECOMMENDATIONS
1:1 time 2 (30) min follow-ups
Experience the shift. With lab results in hand, we go even deeper with our recommendations based on your specific biology. This is the time to tailor your diet using our ‘food as medicine’ approach as well as targeted supplements and detoxification protocols as needed. We always keep your specific lifestyle goals and constraints in mind to ensure our recommendations are both helpful and doable.

As we move through month two, we learn about what is working and not working for your body, as well as your day-to-day. Our clients often experience more significant shifts in their health and energy during this month, however, things can be difficult as well. Detoxifying the body and building new patterns is never easy, but you’ll be feeling the light of a new existence, and we’ll power through this phase together.
Months Three and Four
ADAPT & BALANCE
1:1 time is 2 (30) min follow-ups per month and 1 (30) min goodbye strategy call
Start to live your new life. As you begin to feel better and learn more about your mind and body, we’ll explore your symptoms and bring awareness to the deeper issues. By digging in and making the necessary adjustments, you’ll start to experience improvements and integrate new patterns of thinking and behavior. We’ll continue to adjust your plan to keep you on the path to optimization and balance, and ultimately feeling like your best self.
Lets Dig Deep
Functional Labs We Offer
Blending ancestral nutrition with functional testing allows us to identify imbalances that may be a contributing factor to your health challenges. I am not a doctor and do not diagnose or treat disease, however, I am certified to use labs as a tool for understanding homeostasis in the body and making the proper recommendations to get there.
Labs we offer:
- Gi Map stool test
- MRT – food sensitivity test
- Organic acids test (OATS)
- Comprehensive blood work
- Dutch hormone panel
- HTMA – hair tissue mineral analysis
- And more…
Prioritizing yourself and your health is hard, especially with so much health information floating around that is often conflicting and confusing. Then there is just life—a demanding job, a family home situation that puts your free time and energy at a premium. Or perhaps you’ve tried this before but haven’t achieved the results you’ve hoped for.
I can relate to all of this and have certainly been there myself. This is why I’ve built Health and Home to get to the root cause of your challenges quickly and efficiently. Our goal is to create a new way for you to think about your health that gets easier every day that you do it.
By giving you the information, guidance, and tools to create new habits, we’ll get you on a fast track to your version of optimal health.
Working on your health, however, is never simple. This is the real work that pays off in extraordinary ways, but it will take your attention and effort. When you work with me and my team, we can’t promise it won’t take effort and commitment, but we can say that once you start feeling better, it won’t feel like hard work anymore.
Sophia Rudow
Sophia began her journey into health as a registered nurse. She has always been interested in science and how the body works. She worked in cardiovascular intensive care until having her first baby in 2006.
Sophia began her deep dive into holistic care after her first child began having health issues such as eczema, constipation, and later significant food allergies. She began working with a naturopath and researched the gut microbiome, gut dysbiosis, heavy metal toxicity, environmental toxins, and optimal nutrition with vigor. It became her top priority to explore the root cause of what was driving her daughter’s suffering and heal her.
Since then Sophia has earned her Nutritional Therapy Practitioner certification from the Nutritional Therapy Association. As well, she has become a Restorative Wellness Practitioner through the Restorative Wellness Association. Alongside these studies health and healing have been her passion and purpose for the last 15 years.
When Sophia isn’t working, she is the mother to Max and Jada (Humans), Luna and Cosmo (dogs), Betsy, Corn, Butterscotch and Chestnut (Chickens), and wife to Gordon (also Human). She loves to cook and bake healthy foods, loves travel, camping and just hanging out with her family and dogs. She finds joy in doing the more difficult things in life. She loves a tough work out or a cold plunge because she believes challenges bring growth. She and her family moved to Tennessee in 2021 from California for the freedom, outdoor life and to pursue her vision for making the world a little healthier than when she got here.
