Better By the Day Wellness

Supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

The Lord created your body to heal and thrive! At Better By the Day Wellness, we use Electrodermal Screening (EDS) to uncover hidden stressors and imbalances in the body. Then through homeopathic remedies, natural supplements and personalized guidance, we help restore balance and support the natural healing process—so you can feel better by the day.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. -3 John 1:2

Electrodermal Screening

Electrodermal screening (EDS) is a safe, natural way to uncover hidden stressors in the body. These may include environmental and household toxins, parasites, biofilms, viruses, organ imbalances, skin concerns, nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities and other unseen factors that could be affecting your overall health. Think of your body like an onion: to reach the core, we must peel back the layers. That’s how EDS works—by identifying imbalances in the body, we can provide targeted support to help restore balance and encourage healing naturally one layer at a time. EDS offers a gentle, holistic approach for those who want to better understand their body and what may be contributing to ongoing symptoms and wellness concerns.

What to Expect

Your scan will be completed using a small sample of your hair. Your hair contains information that allows your practitioner to complete a personalized scan without you needing to be present during the scanning process. Simply drop off or mail in your sample, and your practitioner will complete your scan during your appointment time. Once your scan is complete, you’ll receive a personalized protocol based on your results, which may include homeopathic remedies, natural supplements and other wellness recommendations to help restore balance and support your body’s natural healing process. Your practitioner will then review your recommendations with you, answer any questions and help you understand how to incorporate your personalized protocol into your daily routine.

Who This Is For

Electrodermal screening is for anyone who wants to better understand what their body needs in order to heal and function well. Many people come to Better By the Day Wellness because they feel “off,” but haven’t been able to find clear answers.

This may be a good fit for you if you:
  • want a natural, holistic approach to supporting your health
  • have ongoing symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, headaches or brain fog
  • suspect your body may be burdened by toxins, parasites or viruses
  • experience sensitivities or reactions to certain foods
  • feel like something is out of balance, even if medical tests look normal
  • are interested in homeopathic remedies and natural supplements
  • want to take a proactive approach to wellness, not just address problems when they arise

Electrodermal screening can be helpful for adults, children and even pets, and many households choose to make it part of their regular wellness routine. Our goal is simple: to help uncover hidden stressors, restore balance in the body and support you in feeling better by the day!

The Founders

Friends first and business partners second, Courtney and Alissa founded Better By the Day Wellness in 2026. What began as a connection through their husbands – college friends – quickly grew into a meaningful friendship rooted in workouts at Lifetime, a shared passion for health and a deep love for the Lord. It wasn’t long before they felt called to something more: creating a space where others could pursue true wellness in a natural, life-giving way. And with that vision, Better By the Day Wellness was born.

Meet Courtney

Courtney was introduced to wellness early through her mother’s experience with chronic fatigue and her work in electrodermal screening. In college, during a prolonged illness, Courtney received care through that same approach – an experience that sparked her deeper interest in health and seeking root causes.

Courtney is a Certified Natural Health Professional with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance. Her musical training shaped her discipline, attentiveness, and appreciation for whole-person development – qualities she brings into her client work. For over ten years, she worked as an online fitness coach, using a faith-based approach to help women pursue stronger, healthier lives.

She and her husband, James, live in Golden Valley with their three children. Alongside her wellness work, she enjoys reading for leisure, playing and teaching piano, and keeping the house tidy while focusing on raising her family.

Meet Alissa

Alissa’s passion for wellness grew from her own personal journey. After a season of intense distance running that left her depleted, Alissa began a grace-filled path back to wholeness. Along the way, she discovered that true wellness isn’t about striving or control – it’s about living in alignment with God’s design for our bodies.

Alissa is a Certified Natural Health Professional with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Nutrition and Communications. She spent over eight years in corporate healthcare, supporting integrative wellness initiatives, and later founded Enlighten Nutrition Coaching, a faith-based nutrition practice rooted in the belief that lasting wellness happens when body, soul and Spirit are nourished together.

She lives in downtown Minneapolis with her husband, Derek, and their dog, Murphy. In her free time, she enjoys creating new recipes, biking, hiking and discipling young women.
