The Functional Difference
The functional approach is all-encompassing; addressing all aspects of your life.
Functional nutrition takes a holistic approach to health by considering how all areas of one's life impact well-being. It recognizes that our health is constantly moving and changing based on the choices we make each day regarding nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and other factors. A functional nutritionist aims to zoom out and assess an individual's entire situation, known as their "terrain," to understand root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.
Moving away from the generic, symptom-based approach.
You've identified your symptoms.
You’ve seen your GP.
You’ve been referred to five specialists. You’ve undergone five blood tests.
You’ve waited endlessly on the "what's wrong with me" list.
You’ve Googled every symptom and are now convinced you're dying.
NOW you’re facing a new set of symptoms related to that,
And you feel like nobody gets you…except your dog.
You keep explaining your story over and over.
STOP and simplify. Let’s zoom out together.
Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses on specific symptoms or conditions, functional nutrition views health as a whole system influenced by many interconnected factors. It recognizes that small changes in various areas of life can significantly impact overall well-being. This holistic approach aims to treat the root causes rather than just symptoms, guiding clients towards sustainable health improvements through personalized lifestyle and nutrition strategies.

My personal “why”.
Why Functional Medicine Nutrition Matters: My Personal Journey
I lost my best friend, my mom, to Alzheimer's; I suffered from chronic health conditions and complications from breast implants. Coming out of those experiences, and with over two decades as a healthcare practitioner, I am now armed with a wealth of information to help people make better nutrition and lifestyle choices. This primarily includes reducing the risks and impacts of a poor health terrain. Our diet is the single most significant factor that can change our overall health, including our gut microbiome, which is intimately connected with all our biological systems in a symbiotic fashion.
Addressing Root Causes: Beyond Symptoms
Treatment must focus on the root cause(s), not end-stage disease or flagged blood markers telling us we have already developed a condition. To identify the root cause(s), we need to examine our terrain by methodically looking at our inflammation, diet, and epigenetics, which are the conditions we could potentially express if we don’t make changes.
Harnessing Food as Medicine: The Power of Nutrition
The Functional approach improves our overall health and wellness by looking at ways to use food as medicine and lifestyle approaches that optimize our health versus focusing on treating downstream disease.
Lifestyle Optimization for Wellness: A Holistic Approach
Welcome to my world, the Functional One, to help pull us out of the weeds of our conditions to lead a healthier life and optimize longevity.
I’ve often been called the “Connector” of people’s health because I educate and recommend approaches by providing the latest information on food science, lifestyle approaches, and longevity bio-hacking. Utilizing these three areas of health, which all go hand-in-hand, we can optimize our health.
Your Path to Optimized Health
Functional Nutrition Counselors are allied Functional Medicine Practitioners. We believe we need to look at the whole person’s story in their health. Functional Nutritionists move toward a model where we do an in-depth examination of a patient's health terrain using assessment tools to find the root cause(s) of disease expression or where things went wrong.
