Chief Biological & Health Coach Practitioner
Expert in mental health, brain-based conditions, auto-immune disease, chronic illness, and gluten-related diseases and conditions
Ann Hutyra is an MHH Certified Practioner and holistic health coach who focuses on ‘food as medicine,’ and studied both under Dr. Villanueva in the MHH Certified Practitioners Course and at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Ann’s passion for health and wellness began with her own journey with autoimmune disease. After decades of dealing with symptoms like fatigue, bloating and digestive issues, anemia, migraines, brain fog and joint pain, she was finally diagnosed with Dermatitis Herpetiformis, or the skin manifestation of Celiac Disease. Ann adopted a gluten free lifestyle, and saw her health drastically improve. She dropped close to 30 pounds, and saw dozens of symptoms she had dealt with for decades go away. But her journey didn’t stop there. A few years later she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and knew she had to make additional lifestyle changes.
Ann became a patient of Dr. Villanueva, visiting her at her Austin, Texas clinic back in 2015 and found the support she needed to heal her body through food and supplements. In 12 short months, Ann reversed her thyroid condition, and reached a level of health she had never experience before. This inspired her to become certified as a health coach, and help others achieve optimal health.
Ann has studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods, and specializes in the gluten free and paleo lifestyles. Ann spent 15 years as a Journalist and TV News Anchor, working in a fast-paced and demanding newsroom environment. This taught her how important it is to manage stress and get quality sleep, and she teaches her clients techniques to help balance these areas of their lives. She works with her clients to co-create completely personalized actions based on their goals, and helps them move toward their ideal vision of health.
In her down time, Ann loves to cook and bake, and shares her recipes and foodie finds with her social media followers. As a mom to a 7-year-old, she enjoys the challenge of finding creative ways to teach kids to eat healthy. She’s a long-distance runner, having completed several marathons over the years, and makes yoga a regular part of her wellness routine.

Co-Creator of the Mind-Body-Energy Healing Program
Dina, from Golden, Colorado, is an international speaker, healer, and author of Date Better, Darling!, and has been featured on national television, radio, and podcasts in the US and abroad. She’s had a natural health practice in several states and countries since 2007, specializing in complementary cancer care, chronic illness, detoxification, healing food plans, trauma, digestive disorders, and supporting the developmentally disabled community.
Dina is a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, graduating from Bian Hua Gong, founded by Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson. She has a deep love for the way Chinese medicine honors the whole person, supporting their body, energy, emotions, and spirit. She is also certified in Auricular Acudetox, a 5-point auricular acupuncture protocol.
Dina incorporates many tools and modalities for her clients to experience tangible change, including:
When she was younger, Dina struggled with serious health and mobility issues and found little relief in standard allopathic practices. Her journey toward healing led her to study holistic nutrition, western herbalism, detox protocols, energy work, Chinese medicine, meditation, and emotional healing work, all of which are integral parts of her practice. The deeper she went in learning and healing, the more she realized that each wellness and spiritual system had profound truths that could support her clients on their road to becoming their most healthy, joyous self, and she decided to open her heart to wisdom in all traditions. With Dina’s vast training, she can counsel, support, and offer healing wisdom for each stage of a person’s life. Her practices respect and welcome people of all traditions and lifestyles with an open heart.
One of the biggest lessons Dina learned was how our relationships with ourselves and others have a profound effect on our health, self-esteem, and life purpose. To support this, she wrote a book about dating in a way that supports self-love, inner reflection, and meaningful connections with others, and created special programs to help women find love while loving themselves.
When she’s not immersing herself in her practice, Dina spends her time with her beloved Arman, exploring nature, enjoying delicious foods, photography, singing (sometimes all at once!), and is an unapologetically enthusiastic Renaissance Faire nerd.
She’s excited and grateful to be a part of your journey toward your most vibrant, healthy, joyous, confident, and fulfilled self.

MHH Internship: Biological & Health Coach Practitioner
Board Certified IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine) Practitioner specializing in Integrative, Regenerative, and Anti-Aging Medicine
Dr. David practiced conventional medicine for 25 years, having practiced in Austin, Texas as well as in the Toronto, Canada area and developed a deep passion to learn evidence based holistic approaches to help people heal and become healthy, after realizing that his traditional medical training had only taught him to merely treat symptoms, not addressing the root cause of his patient’s symptoms, conditions, or diseases.
This led Dr. David on a new journey of discovery that led him to the Institute of Functional Medicine and eventually to our MHH Practitioner’s Certification Program so that he could educate himself on integrative and holistic data-driven approaches for helping his patients.
Dr. David became acquainted with Dr. Villanueva at a Practitioners Conference where Dr. V was teaching root-cause approaches and became interested in learning more about Dr. V’s well-known approaches for addressing the root causes of chronic illnesses. Dr. Tsai decided to join Dr. V’s Practitioners Certification Program (MHHCP). As a part of Dr. V’s certification process, Dr. David is completing his internship with Modern Holistic Health and is available to see clients.
Dr. David has many accomplishments, including being the only physician in Canada with a Master’s degree in Integrative Medicine from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He has also had the opportunity to practice in Austin, Texas, with other leading integrative practitioners.
“I am honored to be interning at Modern Holistic Health to help guide you in your journey to optimizing health.” – Dr. David Tsai
MHH Practitioner and Holistic Health Coach
Master Herbalist, Diplomat of Holistic Iridology, and a member of the International College of Iridology
Mike’s professional training includes Advanced Clinical Iridology, Advanced Holistic Iridology, Regenerative Detoxification, Advanced Herbal Medicine, and Holistic Sports Nutrition. He has taken Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry courses and several courses through the College of Natural Health and the University of Natural Medicine. Mike has attended countless conferences on Functional and Root Cause Medicine and Clinical Lab Testing Interpretation and has trained with several experts in Lyme disease and parasitology.
Mike developed his zeal for Root Cause Medicine and developed a fulfilling purpose for helping others pinpoint and resolve their chronic health conditions after watching his mother struggle with serious health challenges for years and not having any true hope or understanding of what could be done. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and ended up with surgery to remove her thyroid, and then she experienced the severe consequences of her subsequent radiation treatments when she developed a degenerative nervous system disorder. Conventional medical avenues provided limited help, primarily in the form of medications to potentially slow down progression, but devoid of hope for complete healing, reversal, or even understanding of the underlying causes. This sense of hopelessness during numerous hospital visits became a pivotal moment for Mike, propelling him into a quest marked by research, prayer, and a fervent pursuit of answers for his mother’s chronic illness.
Mike discovered Dr. V at a practitioner’s conference, educating other practitioners on her evidence-based approaches and root cause medicine, and he knew he wanted to come join the MHH team. Mike’s aspiration is to educate and empower individuals on their healing journey, equip them with tangible solutions for their health challenges, and instill hope that they can heal so they do not have to undergo the same hardships his mother experienced.
In his downtime, Mike loves being active. Whether it’s playing sports, hiking, working out, or going for a walk, he just enjoys moving! As a husband and dad, he also enjoys spending time with his family outside in nature and traveling to experience new places!

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on:
