Functional Nutrition Counseling

Nourish Your Body

so you can feel your best.

Are you suffering from fatigue, chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or just not feeling like yourself? Taking a holistic look at your diet, lifestyle, and feelings about food can help improve your symptoms and help you get more out of life.

Every person is unique. What might work for someone might not work for you. We will take a look at you as a whole person—your current health status, relationship with food, lifestyle, and taste preferences. From there, we can make tailored recommendations based on evidence-based nutrition therapy to help you nourish your body so you can feel your best. Together we will create space for your health journey.

What are sessions like?

Nutrition counseling begins with an initial consultation where we will work together to identify your goals, explore your habits and beliefs, review your history, and determine your comfort level with change. From there, we will work together to identify and implement changes based on a functional nutrition approach that will work for you. We will use follow-up sessions to build upon and tweak diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations until you are living your best life.

In addition to looking at your current lifestyle, we can recommend, order, and interpret functional tests, including stool tests, organic acid tests, and hormone levels.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we:

  • Explore your personal health history, habits, and lifestyle
  • Clarify your wellness goals and comfort with change
  • Identify areas for growth and healing

Together, we’ll co-create a personalized plan rooted in functional nutrition. This may include targeted dietary adjustments, supplements, and lifestyle shifts. Follow-up sessions allow us to fine-tune your plan, ensuring it evolves with you.
