What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional Nutrition is deeply rooted in Functional Medicine in that we are looking to understand the root cause of your symptoms through the lens of diet and lifestyle.

We send our body signals, either positive or negative, depending on what we eat, the habits we engage in, and our exposures from our modern world such as pollution and plastics. Good food sends positive messages to our body,  and is arguably the most powerful tool to reestablish and maintain health.   It is therefore essential that we learn how to use food to our advantage. Diet and lifestyle is  the first line of defense that we can leverage for prevention and resolution of disease, and for promoting longevity.

Functional Nutrition also takes into account that we are all unique and require different approaches. Therefore wetake the time to understand exactly what you needand partner with you to develop realistic optimizations and interventions to achieve these goals. It is also important to understand that nutritional needs will change based on our age, and the health concerns that you are going through. We need to frequently assess dietary needs, and adjust accordingly.
