You Don’t Need To Fire Your Doctor.
Working with a Functional Nutritionist doesn’t mean that you need to stop working with your general practitioner or other conventional doctors.
A Functional Nutritionist will work alongside doctors and take a personalized, evidence-based approach to healing. This is by supporting the body with food, supplements, herbs, and therapeutic lifestyle interventions.
Medications often deplete nutrients in our bodies and have side effects. A Functional Nutritionist helps to support the body with any medication-induced insufficiencies.
Conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms. A Functional Nutritionist will look deeper into addressing imbalances, inflammation, and supporting the whole body. Often, many chronic illnesses are connected to the gut, immune system, hormones, and metabolism. Nutritionists look at the bigger picture!
Thus, having a Functional Nutritionist working alongside a conventional doctor helps the patient’s body heal from multiple angles; creating a more balanced and quicker recovery!
