Functional Integrative Nutrition

Functional nutritionists act as "health detectives"

in order to understand the relationship between biochemical reactions, and biological responses that are unique to each patient.  They rely on their knowledge of key physiological, genetic, and biochemical processes for establishing an innovative form of a total wellness program.  This approach to health promotion, and disease prevention, asserts that making simple adjustments to diet and lifestyle, based on a patient's individual biochemistry, can have profound positive impact on maintaining or restoring health. 

In addition to considering physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the individual;
beliefs, attitudes, lifestyle, and motivations are taken into account.
