What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is ‘roots’ cause resolution through diet, nutrition and lifestyle modifications which encompasses the whole body, mind and spirit. I say ‘roots’ because it is never just one thing that is causing the symptoms. It is often the accumulation of many influences over your lifespan. Yes, nutrition is about what we eat, but it is also about ALL the ways we feed our cells which extends beyond food. To reach resolution of symptoms we will take a full body systems approach. Our bodies are a beautiful interconnected web of systems and when one system isn’t working the other systems are affected as well. This is where we will take a deep look to uncover what’s really going on inside of your body. Why are your symptoms there in the first place?
This answer will be different for everyone. You may have the same symptoms or diagnosis as someone else, but the root cause will be completely different. That is because your story, life influences and environmental exposures are unique to you. This is individualized care where we will work to align food and lifestyle modifications to meet your individual needs to support the healing process. No two people are treated the same, because no two people are the same. You may be eating the healthiest diet and still not feel well. Or, you may be able to eat something that makes you feel great, but for the next person that food makes them feel worse. This is where food meets physiology. It’s not about what you eat, but what your body can do with what you eat. Everything is connected, we are all unique and all things matter.
Finally, functional nutrition is about having a therapeutic partnership, and that partnership is with me. I am here to walk with you and discover your path that leads toward healing. A journey that will take you to a deep new awareness of your body and lead to greater health and happiness!
