Functional Medicine Nutrition
(No Insurance)
Functional Medicine Nutrition draws on principles of restoring health and healing the body by uncovering and addressing underlying causes of health imbalances, nutrient insufficiencies, and illness.
We do this by utilizing an extremely thorough intake assessment and drawing on my extensive education in body systems, human metabolism, and state-of-the-art functional testing. In today’s world of functional nutrition medicine a plethora of innovative functional labs are available to run, that help us get at the root of imbalances, and help us understand more deeply what may be going on in the body. With my care and expertise, we will identify the most useful testing for your particular goals and concerns.
With a deep intake process, thoughtful functional lab recommendations, and my deep understanding of the biochemistry of metabolism and nutrition, I practice precision medicine and provide targeted, personalized protocols that restore health and wellness, improving overall quality of life.
Nutrition is foundational to functional medicine protocols, as is addressing lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, and movement habits. Carefully selected nutritional supplements play into a well-rounded functional medicine healing program.
How We Work Together
-
If you would like to book a 15 minute discovery call to discuss your health goals and my services/approach to clinical work, please do so!
-
At the time of booking, an Initial Consultation, intake forms will be emailed to you. Please complete all intake forms, including the 3-day diet journal 24-hours prior to the Initial Consultation to allow for thorough review, prepare for our appointment, and utilize our IC time most efficiently. Consent and HIPAA are required before our first session together.
-
We will review your wellness goals, health history, health and medical concerns, and symptoms outlined in the intake forms.
Following our session, I will provide a personalized functional health plan, including recommended therapeutic diet and lifestyle changes, functional lab testing recommendations if applicable, and a nutritional supplement plan that is targeted specifically for your needs.
The treatment plan will be based on a partnership between me (the clinician) and you (the patient/client). Implementation is a process that involves engagement and motivation on part of the client, but the client sets the pace, and is always empowered to decide what protocols and treatments they want to implement. My style of practice is very “client centered”.
-
If functional lab testing was recommended, you will complete those labs with the thorough instructions provided. These tests can take a number of weeks to receive results, so completing the labs as timely as possible is recommended. During this period, you will begin implementation of diet/lifestyle/supplement recommendations.
-
We will schedule a follow-up appointment at four weeks from our Initial Consultation to allow for lab results to be available.
A detailed reading of lab results will be provided as well as a thorough review of the treatment protocol, implementation challenges and/or successes, and make adjustments as needed or indicated by lab values.
Ongoing follow-up sessions can be scheduled every 4-6 weeks or as needed.
Please note that lab result reading is not billable by insurance, and so that portion of a session will need to be paid in full at the time of service.
