Are you ready to Emerge Into Optimal Health?

If you are looking for a “Magic Bullet” that will make all your symptoms disappear, Functional Nutrition is not for you.

You are unique. Everything is connected. All things matter. Which is why there is no single protocol, supplement or therapeutic diet that will cure what ails you.

In addition to learning how to be in tune with what is going in your body, you will also come to understand how your diet and lifestyle choices cause your symptoms to flare, and what interventions can be used to enable internal healing to occur. This journey of discovery leads you to a place of understanding the foods and lifestyle habits that will promote wellness, and most importantly, is sustainable.

It depends. A functional approach to diet and lifestyle means looking at the whole person. Addressing the root cause of a person’s issues means looking at the soil (environment within) that support those roots.

Cleaning up your diet and making better lifestyle choices definitely goes a long way! But if you don’t have a gall bladder, you need to include some supplemental enzyme support. If you’ve been prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics and/or have followed the Standard American Diet for several years, you should include a spore-based probiotic to repopulate and strengthen the right kind of bacterial colonies needed.

Functional Nutrition Counseling is not intended to diagnose or cure ailments, diseases, or disorders. Instead, working through a framework of diet & lifestyle modifications, the aim is to clear the muddy waters, and bring deficiency to sufficiency.

Clarity comes through eliminating the biggest inflammatory culprits and establishing basic Non-Negotiables. Some of these include improving sleep hygiene & hydration and eliminating refined sugar. Because you are a unique individual, there are likely to be other Non-Negotiables specific to you. As these Non-Negotiables are being established, focus will shift to uncovering and addressing possible deficiencies through lifestyle, dietary or supplemental intervention.

Once inflammatory triggers have been removed and nourishment can occur, dysfunctional patterns in the body can be further identified and addressed. Dismantling these dysfunctions may require including your medical practitioner in this partnership.

Lab tests provide objective information and may sometimes be recommended. These may include testing thyroid hormones, cholesterol, A1C or other metabolic markers. These tests would be done at your physician’s request and in conjunction with his/her care.

Genetic testing can tell you the color of your eyes but is unlikely able to diagnose a disease state. Having a gene (or two) for a specific condition does not mean it is your destiny. More importantly, your diet and lifestyle choices influence how your genes are expressed. Because of the expense involved and the difficulty in reasonably ascertaining whether or not a gene has been “turned on,” genetic testing is seldom recommended.

No. Working functionally means discovering the diet and lifestyle practices that serve your best health. These changes are designed to be sustainable and are meant to be continued long after our work together has come to an end.

Would you like to establish the diet and lifestyle practices that serve your health? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Have you tried several different diets without achieving sustainable results? Do you feel like you are missing something in discovering our best health? Do you want to avoid a debilitating health diagnosis? Would you like to manage your symptoms without additional medication? Do you want to prevent your diagnosis from becoming worse?
