What is a Functional Nutritionist and how can one help me?

Healthy food on a table

A functional nutritionist will personalize nutrition intervention based on the unique needs of the client.

It is a whole-body approach to healing and it ultimately gets to the root cause of the disease, rather than just the symptoms.

As functional nutritionists, we ask the “why.” Is it a deficiency in the body shown on bloodwork? Is it lifestyle? Is it environment? Is it diet? Or, is it a combination of a few factors?

A functional nutritionist will assess labs, your in-depth health history, and evaluate symptoms to create an individualized nutrition plan. In addition, we may address microbiome imbalances, identify food sensitivities, look at your energy, balance blood sugar, and support chronic conditions such as autoimmune diseases and inflammation, as well as overall health and prevention.

Overall, a functional nutritionist will offer a personalized nutrition plan that is tailored to meet the needs of your lifestyle and help you feel your most vital self!
