General Health

Functional nutrition focuses on the patient. Instead of labeling you with a diagnosis and only treating your symptoms, functional nutritionists find out WHY you have the diagnosis. It is a personalized method of optimizing your health based on your individual genetics, lab values, lifestyle, and more. It uses food as a natural medicine to help restore balance, replete nutrient deficiencies and heal the gut. It goes beyond basic dietary guidelines by incorporating digestive health and root causes for imbalance, while looking at environmental impact, genetic predisposition, physiological, and psychological factors for disease. Internal and external factors are taken into consideration to assess an appropriate intervention, and recommendations are individualized for every person’s unique needs. There are no generic meal plans or handouts, because each individual person is different!
