Karrie Ozyuk
Integrative Wellness Guide
Hi, I'm Karrie, an Integrative Wellness Guide, my background is in integrative health, strength training and exercise science education - but what I really do is help you build strength where you need it most.
I guide my clients through a proven framework called the DESTRESS Protocol - diet, exercise, stress, toxins, rest, emotions, supplements and success mindset. Together, we use these tools to bring your body back into alignment, create balance, and unlock a sense of wellness that carries into every part of your life.
Strength training is the foundation of my approach, because when your body is strong, everything else becomes possible. But true health goes beyond the gym - it's about how you fuel yourself, manage your energy, and stay grounded in who you are. My role is to walk beside you, to guide you through the hard parts, and to remind you that you are capable of more than you think.
Karrie serves clients of NorthEast Los Angeles, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Alhambra and virtually nationwide.
She has 30 years of experience working in health and wellness. Certified as a National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer. And a decade of experience as an expert in Body Geometry Bicycle Fitting.

Our bodies are extraordinary biochemical miracles of nature but percolating under the surface can be possible hidden toxicities and deficiencies. Root causes such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, mold, bacteria or yeast overgrowth, parasites and more! These can be holding us back from achieving the weight loss or wellness goal we have been striving for.

Yes! We live in a world with over 77k man made chemicals. And we are easily exposed by our personal care products, pesticides on the foods we eat, air pollution and even our drinking water. This unfortunately can cause skin and eye irritations, reproductive complications, auto-immune disease, damage to our intestines and much more. These toxicities have depleted our nutrient rich soils in turn leaving us vitamin and mineral deficient. This is the start of health complications as common as allergies and as unfortunate as cancers.
My Practice Values, Beliefs and Goals
First, Do No Harm
The Hippocratic Oath encompasses the commitment “to refrain from inflicting harm”. We facilitate the body’s innate healing systems by employing techniques and approaches that are only aimed at gently returning the body to a state of abundant health.
Health Coach as Educator
The initial definition of the term “doctor” was that of a teacher. And as a Health Coach I instruct and enable my wellness clients to improve their overall health by teaching them lifestyle practices such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep, supplementation, and many more that enable them to heal.
Determine the Underlying Root Cause
Every dis-ease of the body or mind has an underlying root cause. Once found, it can be rebalanced so that the body can then begin to repair, rebalance, and rejuvenate on its way back to health and vitality.
Address the Entire Person
Your story matters. I will take the time to listen to what you are struggling with as well as help you with any symptoms you may be feeling. We will get to the bottom of what the root causes are and address those so you can finally begin to heal.
The Restorative Power of Nature
Our natural state is one of health, and when in good health, we exist in harmony with nature’s processes. My job as a practitioner is to provide your body with the nutrients and protocols it needs to begin to heal itself.
Proactive
After we have helped you with the healing process, or ideally before you even get imbalanced, we want to ensure your body does not have any deficiencies or toxicities so that you can enjoy the abundant health, vitality, and happiness you deserve.
