What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional Nutrition is a holistic approach to health and wellness that focuses on identifying and addressing the causes of imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interplay between genetics, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition to support the body’s natural ability to heal and function optimally.

Functional Nutritionists take a whole-person view, evaluating factors like digestion, hormone regulation, detox, sleep, stress, and inflammation. We use tools such as comprehensive health assessments, detailed symptom histories, and sometimes advanced lab testing, to create tailored nutrition and lifestyle plans designed to restore balance and support long-term wellness.

Your health is so much more than the food you eat—it’s a reflection of your unique story, environment, and lifestyle.

Gut Health Stool Test

Food Sensitivity Test

Take the guessing out of food sensitivities that often cause gas, bloating, and cramping by evaluating over 250+ food antigens, including wheat, gluten and dairy. It's often paired with the Gut Health Stool Test to assess gut function.

Know the root cause of your digestive symptoms. Gain a profound understanding of your gut health by exploring its microbiome. With an extensive panel covering multiple microbiome species, this testing method detects levels of your beneficial bacteria, overgrowth and inflammatory markers. It is useful for a targeted nutrition care plan to restore gut health caused by digestive dysfunction and imbalanced gut bacteria.

MTHFR / Nutrigenomics Test

This test assesses your unique genetic make-up in eight key areas of health, including methylation, structural (bone health), aging, cognitive health, detoxification, hormone health, inflammatory status, and gastrointestinal health.

Organic Acid Test

Gain insights into metabolic pathways, nutrient status, mitochondrial health, neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification, stress, mood, and inflammatory responses.

Advanced Functional Labs

Please note - Functional labs are generally not covered by insurance and are an add-on cost to the consultation. Pricing will vary based on the specific lab being ordered. We understand that expenses can be a limiting factor in our client's health decisions and will only recommend labs if we feel they will be impactful to your health goals.
