Functional nutrition is the practice of considering every aspect of one’s health, diet, and overall lifestyle when giving them nutrition recommendations.

​

While standard healthcare will try to suppress your symptoms with medication, functional nutrition instead sees them as clues for understanding the underlying issues within your body. 

 

Functional nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, it is a highly customized holistic health perspective that takes your unique specifications into account to trigger healing from the cellular level.

​

The Functional Nutrition Process

​

• Comprehensive evaluation of previous medical history

• Review of organ systems

• Review of medication and supplement history

• Review of current diet and lifestyle habits

• Review of previous medical testing and results

​

From these results, we work to develop a customizable program that targets the cause of these health problems.

 

Program options might include suggestions for eliminating processed foods or entire food groups like gluten or dairy. Sometimes its recommended to take a supplement to improve digestion or encourage the establishment of beneficial bacteria. Other times we will teach you how to control lifestyle factors, like learning how to handle stress or better manage your nervous system impulses.

​

Put another way, we do not diagnose, prescribe for, or treat you for specific conditions. Instead, our role is to look at all health problems holistically, educate you about the ways your behavior is impeding your optimal health, and offer suggestions for improvement.
