Functional Nutrition

Functional nutrition is an individualized approach to health and wellness that focuses on the unique nutritional needs of each person. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet tailored to an individual's specific health conditions, lifestyle, and genetic makeup. The goal of functional nutrition is to address the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.

​​

Personalized Nutrition

Functional nutrition recognizes that everyone has unique nutritional requirements. It takes into account factors such as age, gender, genetics, lifestyle, and current health status to create a personalized nutrition plan.

​

Ditch the Diet

Instead of focusing on counting calories or restrictive diets, we emphasize adding nourishing foods and sustainable habits that support long-term health and well-being.

​

Whole Foods

Emphasis is placed on consuming whole, unprocessed foods that provide essential nutrients. These include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, clean proteins, and healthy fats.

 

Nutrient Density

The focus is on foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients to address deficiencies and support overall health and well-being.

​

Root Cause Focus

Instead of simply treating symptoms, functional nutrition aims to identify and address the underlying causes of health issues. This can involve investigating potential nutrient deficiencies, digestive health, inflammation, lifestyle, and other factors.

​

Holistic Perspective

Functional nutrition considers the whole person, including physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health. It often involves lifestyle modifications, stress management, and other holistic practices in addition to dietary changes.

​

Bioindividuality

Recognizing that each person has a unique biochemistry, functional nutrition acknowledges that a dietary approach that works for one person may not be suitable for another.
