Functional Nutritional Therapy is comprised of Nutritional Therapy and a Functional Exam. Nutritional Therapy focuses on how to rebalance the body by using a nutrient-dense, whole-foods, properly prepared diet. Information is gathered about current eating and lifestyle habits as well as health struggles and roadblocks.
The Functional Exam helps identify strengths and weaknesses of various organ systems by palpating on certain points on the body. The Functional Exam also uses lingual neural feedback to pinpoint specific therapeutic supplements to support the body’s healing.
Functional Nutritional Therapy focuses on bio-individuality and can cater to a person’s specific needs by listening to the body.

Stress can have a profound impact on the body. For example, when our bodies are stressed, our digestion shuts down. When we cannot properly digest or absorb our food, this causes a ripple effect throughout the rest of our body.
We are unable to provide nutrients to the rest of our body, leading to nutritional deficiencies, disruption in organ functions, and systemic inflammation which can cause both physical and mental disease states. This can have detrimental effects on our emotional, mental, and physical health.
