Functional Nutritional Therapy
My focus through functional nutrition is to restore health and vitality by addressing the root cause, or ‘why’ behind dysfunction in the body using nutrition and lifestyle strategies tailored to you, as there is no one size fits all!
Functional Nutritional Therapy
What is it?
We work holistically, using nutrition as well as lifestyle, stress, sleep and movement strategies for long term, sustainable health and wellbeing. We’re not about quick fixes or ‘band aid’ solutions.
A big part of our focus is on the 6 foundations of health which includes:
-A nutrient dense diet -Digestion -Blood sugar regulation -Fatty acids -Minerals -Hydration
We also incorporate supplements; however, they are completely optional as results can still be achieved without them. We determine which supplements are supportive through our skillset called the Functional Clinical Assessment or FCA.
What is the FCA?
The FCA is a physical assessment we use to determine nutrient deficiencies as well as organs and systems in need of support. From this we can recommend necessary nutrients to help restore proper function using the client’s choice of supplements or therapeutic foods.
How does the FCA work?
We palpate specific points on the body (mostly abdominal area) to test for a tenderness level on a scale of 1-10. We then test your body’s response to certain nutrients, aiming to decrease tenderness in the identified tender areas.
