DK (Darla Kaye) Sylvester
Darla Kaye ( “DK”) Sylvester’s commitment to optimal health started when she felt her worst. At the age of 28, DK was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. It marked the beginning of a decade-long struggle as traditional medical approaches left her with dangerous complications, numerous visits to the hospital and to specialists and ultimately with a medicine cabinet full of pharmaceuticals. After hitting rock bottom, DK decided to take her health into her own hands. With her powerful drive to be well along with guidance from The Metabolic Institute, DK embarked upon a life-changing journey where she gained back optimal health and wellness. She not only found the joy in her life again but a new career as well!
Now a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, DK is a Certified Integrative Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. She obtained her certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition® based in New York City, where she studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques and cutting-edge coaching methods.
Born out of experiences through her own healing process and her professional training, she is committed to helping others live healthy and vigorous lives. She brings to her clients genuine empathy and support along with empirical and evidence-based knowledge helping them on their own journey to health and wellness. DK strives to identify the right approach for each person with whom she works. These might include gluten and dairy-free programs, alkaline specific foods, balance in protein, carbohydrate and healthy fats, green smoothies and family support for nutritional and lifestyle choices that support you today with guidance to make gradual lifelong changes toward your future health goals—changes that are fun, flexible and rewarding.
DK knows what is possible with health and nutrition. Today she is able to fully participate in the active lives of her family, making every effort to achieve balance as a wife of over twenty years, mother to a daughter in college, a son soon to complete high school, six horses and one rambunctious Labrador retriever. Along with her husband Jeff, she is co-owner of DK Sylvester for Health (www.dksylvesterforhealth.com), Rocking S Productions and Sylvester Taxidermy. DK’s hobbies include spending time with her family and friends, playing competitive tennis, cooking healthy meals, practicing yoga, running with her dog, organic gardening and quilting. She feels compelled to maintain her own health while providing hope and inspiration for her clients.
