Functional Nutrition Coaching

What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition evaluates the complex interactions between lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors that influence chronic health issues.  It aims to address the imbalances in the body by restoring function through food, lifestyle, and supplement interventions.  In this model, an advanced nutrition assessment and thorough Functional Medicine-based history is utilized for a personalized therapeutic approach to prevent diet- and lifestyle-related disease and promote optimal health.

How is it different than conventional nutrition?

The main difference between functional and conventional nutrition is personalization.  Functional nutrition focuses on the patient, instead of the symptoms or disease.  It is a science-based personalized model of optimizing health based on individual diets, genetics, lab values, health history, lifestyle, emotional profile, and more.  Functional nutrition changes the focus from population-based to personalized nutrition, and from disease care to authentic health care.
