Functional Nutrition Counseling

As therapists, we know that there is a direct correlation between gut health and brain health. Often times, where there is an imbalance in unhealthy gut bacteria, you will find in imbalance in neurotransmitters that contribute to mental health.

Funtional Nutrition is a modality that works to support and educate the client in what is going on in their body and how making uniquely targeted diet and lifestyle modifications will shift the terrain and help them to meet their wellness and mental health goals.

Lifestyle and lifestyle choices can significantly impact your every day health and mental health. Functional nutrition coaches not only help you improve upon the inner stress your body may experience from poor diet and lack of or over abundance of exercise, but they are able to help you examine how your daily choices may force your nervous system out of it’s window of tolerance and cause you to feel stressed out or shut down.

Western medicine treats symptoms, such as the leaves and the branches. Functional medicine and functional nutrition, aim to treat cause, the roots and the soil. Functional nutrition looks at the roots and soil of a person’s life. It focuses on the individual’s current state of digestion, inflammation, and epigenetics to find out what is causing the symptoms to begin.
