MEET THE FOUNDER

Gerald Roliz is a former pharmaceutical sales representative turned Functional Nutrition Consultant. 

In high school, Gerald’s mother passed away with an autoimmune condition known as idiopathic Lupus erythematosus. Her doctors did not know the cause and experimented on her with drugs, surgery and radiation. It didn’t work out for her in the end.  From that day on, he set out on a quest to uncover the root causes to many of today’s health issues, then natural solutions to address those causes.  

Gerald received dual degrees from U.C Berkeley, where he majored in Psychology and Molecular & Cell Biology.  Upon graduation, Gerald worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative for 5 years where he taught medical doctors about Drug to Drug interactions, adverse side effects, drug-induced diseases and withdrawal syndrome caused by many commonly prescribed pharmaceutical medications.

Once he realized that chemical based medicines have inherent risks and do nothing to correct nutritional deficiencies, he left his role as a pharmaceutical sales representative and found that Functional Nutrition resolved his own personal health issues (which included allergies, asthma, poor digestion and adrenal fatigue). From that day on, Gerald has dedicated his life to learning how to help others to rebuild their body and organs with genuine replacement building blocks that can only be found from food & herbs. Gerald found how to address the root causes to many health issues, including that which his mother was diagnosed with. 

Gerald is certified by the American Association of Nutritional Consultants (AANC). He completed a Masters Degree in Business Administration and a Masters Degree in Applied Clinical Nutrition. He lectures nationally to natural health practitioners on the application of Functional Nutrition and herbs to restore human health. He is a guest lecturer at the top Traditional Chinese Medicine Universities and Chiropractic Colleges and is the author of The Pharmaceutical Myth book. Gerald is an Advanced Nutrition Response Testing® practitioner and is a Level III graduate from Quantum Nutrition Testing. He has trained thousands of natural health practitioners across the country and has mentored many clinicians at the Waterman Chiropractic Center in San Ramon, CA.

Gerald and his family receive regular chiropractic, acupuncture and enjoy the outdoors because when we look to nature and support the innate healing ability of the human body, health is a result, naturally.

Gerald is on a mission to help as many people be healthy and happy.  To this end, he is the creator of The Healing Body Institute which provides online educational trainings for other Functional Nutrition practitioners alike to elevate their knowledge and skillset. 

Gerald looks forward to supporting you and your family to acheiving your health goals.
