What makes it functional?

Your diet, lifestyle, genes, healthy history, and other factors influence your health. The Functional Nutrition approach takes into account all these aspects to identify your nutritional requirements. Eating according to these needs is functional! Addressing only a single representative of your current health status or focusing on an isolated symptom most likely won’t bring the long-lasting results you want to improve your performance and well-being. However, examining the full picture and connecting the dots will identify areas that require attention to maximize your body’s potential.

Functional Nutrition and Functional Medicine

In Functional Nutrition we are inspired by the Functional Medicine approach, where the therapeutic partnership between practitioner and client is of great importance. We both are part of your journey in search of the root causes of your concerns, using a systems-based approach and a “toolbox” that allow us to properly assess your health, recommend what’s best, and track the results. The knowledge of how food, nutrition, lifestyle, and physiology interact is crucial to the process of mastering your health. I’m here to help!

Steps of the program:

1. Your completion of the Intake Form

Here you’ll answer questions about your health so I can understand your history better before I ask you more details about it. History and context always matter in functional nutrition! It’s important to provide complete answers.

2. A dedicated 1 hour Health History Session. 

In this session, we take a deeper look into your health history, concerns, and goals to capture who you really are and consider your unique bio-individuality to make recommendations that serve your body. Other assessment tools like a food journal or supplement tracker may also be used for your case.

3. A 1 hour Nutrition Counseling Session.

The counseling session is where we’ll discuss the action plan with all recommendations related to your case for your upgraded self-care, nutrition, and lifestyle. Here’s where your concerns will be addressed. 

4. Receipt of your Functional Nutrition tools, created specially for you:

Functional Nutrition Timeline, Functional Nutrition Matrix, Personalized Action Form 

You can use the tools to update your doctor on your health history, and healthcare routine, or revisit the materials to remind yourself of the action plan created to address your concerns.

5. A Follow Up Session, to reassess your progress and help to stay on track.

Here you can bring up topics you’ve been having trouble with and I’ll help you find solutions or alternatives for them.

Through the program, I’m here to help you and hear you. I’m available to answer your questions from a functional nutrition perspective and help you become more aware of your health, food choices, and lifestyle.
