Functional Nutrition
We practice functional nutrition. Functional nutrition therapy is a powerful cornerstone to functional medicine. It uses food as a natural medicine to help restore balance, replete nutrient deficiencies, heal the gut, and more. It is also personalized in its approach. Instead of generic meal plans or handouts, we provide a personalized method of optimizing your health and meeting your health goals.
We use food as medicine, not just fuel for the body. Starting with a foundation of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed, we go further to give clients more targeted interventions with therapeutic foods in order to treat the underlying cause of their health issues, which may include certain anti-inflammatory foods, gut-healing compounds or targeted nutritional supplements to replenish any nutrient deficiencies.
Functional nutrition also looks beyond food in order to assess stress levels, sleeping habits, and how your overall environment affects your overall health. For example, chronic stress can worsen IBS symptoms and increase frequency of migraine episodes. Also, sleep habits and stress levels all affect how nutrition is digested and absorbed in the body. By assessing these other factors and working together to establish a stress management routine or proper sleep hygiene, we can help to improve digestive issues, as well as overall health.
customized recommendations
When you come for nutritional support and counselling, we will assess where the breakdown is occurring in the diet and offer you customized meal plans and lifestyle recommendations to address underlying dysfunction, or simply provide the body with additional support and preventative maintenance.
