Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to diet and wellness that focuses on addressing the root cause of health issues by considering an individual’s unique needs, lifestyle factors, genetics and environment using food as medicine.

Our Digestive System plays a role in both immunity and neurology. In fact, there is a bi-directional neural pathway between the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain and the gut, known as the gut-brain axis. Gut health is crucial for overall well-being as it directly impacts digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system function and mental health.

Unfortunately, in traditional medicine clinicians are rarely offered even basic nutritional training. Add to that the burden of the requirement to see dozens of patients per day leads to a healthcare system that treats symptoms versus root cause dysfunction. I feel passionately that the role of a Functional Nutritionist fills a significant gap in healthcare that exists today.

In Functional Nutrition there are 3 core beliefs:  everyone is unique, that everything is connected, and all things matter. My clients will receive an in-depth Health History Session, Nutrition Counseling Session & personalized recommendations that have their goals at the center. They will also have access to state-of-the-art lab testing, hormone evaluation, supplementation & peptide therapy. Our work together can be utilized with your current healthcare provider or a referral to a specialist in their field will be readily available as well. I look forward to being a part of your journey to optimal health.
