As a clinical nutritionist trained in functional medicine, the work we do together gets to the root cause of your symptoms/illness, so your body can heal naturally. Our bodies are self-healing machines when two things happen: 1. The body has what it needs; adequate nutrients + nutrient absorption, quality sleep, hydration, movement, stress management, self love/care and healthy relationships. 2. Offending or toxic factors are removed (environmental toxicants, gut health issues, poor sleep, stress, un-serving thoughts, ultra-processed foods.. Research shows that our genes are responsible for only about 10% of our lifespan and health-span. What is health-span? It's living a long AND healthy life. As you age, you maintain health, vitality and function into late years. This suggests that about 90% of our health span is influenced by diet and lifestyle (epigenetic). Functional nutrition takes a whole-body/ whole-person view to overall health and addresses health a a whole-systems approach. When you change one part of the system, you are fundamentally changing the whole. My practices focuses on the health of the gut microbiome and I specialize in chronic fatigue, hormone balances, sleep issues, pain and inflammation, mood disorders (depression/anxiety), fertility support, autoimmunity and nutritional support for recreational fitness activity.
