What is Functional Nutrition Counseling?
Functional Nutrition uses diet and lifestyle modifications to get to the imbalances that result in disease. Functional Nutrition is not a protocol or one size fits all solution to healing. We do not look at symptoms or a diagnosis and prescribe a regime. We look at all systems in the body as a whole and create personalized action goals using food, supplements and lifestyle changes to find the solutions that work for each individual person.
What is Root Cause Healing?
What is Root Cause Resolution? All aspects of a person’s life are considered. We look at internal, external, emotional, occupational, social, diet & genetics when considering the root cause to a persons’ illness. Then we look at what we can do to remedy the biological ecosystem in which they arose.
Root cause means we ask why, not what. We aren’t as interested in what is wrong; “like a name for it,” as much as we are concerned with “why” and “how” did this begin. In order to do that it requires clearing the “muddy waters” to find the answers, this can take some time. After all, it took years to get sick and it will take some time to get healthy.
Bio-Individuality and Epigenetics
We can’t change the genes that we have, but Functional Nutrition does consider your bio- individuality and the environmental & emotional factors that are correlated to your health. The practice is a therapeutic practice where both you and the Clinician are open and vulnerable to the clinical process. Unlike conventional medicine there is no protocol or one size answer that fits all to the problem.
What can Functional Nutrition Counseling do for you?
Functional Nutrition Counseling will provide you with a framework and guidelines towards your healing. Recommendations will be given to help you better understand your health issues with clear action steps to take. The Timeline will help you see a guideline for your healing & will be adjusted as your body responds. The Action Form will help you follow the steps needed to reach your health goals. Ideally, the goal of Functional Nutritional Counseling is to empower you with the education and resources to take control of your own health.
Every meal we eat becomes an opportunity towards healing.
