What Is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to nutrition that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues by using food as medicine, considering individual needs and lifestyle factors to create personalized dietary plans, rather than just treating symptoms with a one-size-fits-all approach. We focus on whole body health, specializing in brain and gut health and whole-body balance.
The nutritionist considers your health history including medical tests, symptoms, current medications and protocols you are following, stress factors, and life trauma. These factors all influence your current health conditions. From this, the nutritionist will create a plan and health protocol for you that will include diet, supplements and herbs, life style changes, additional functional testing when indicated. The goal is to make sustainable changes to improve the quality of your life and reach your health goals!
Bottom line, we want to know why you’re not feeling well and find a path to reaching your goals and optimal health!
