Functional Nutrition is a revolutionary way of looking at diet and lifestyle that truly treats you as an individual and works with your unique needs to help you improve your health. We work within the principles of Functional Medicine, but with a dedicated perspective on the diet and lifestyle modification upon which those principles rely for their success (and yours). Here are some of the ways in which our clinic is different: We work towards root cause resolution, which means we are concerned with why you are experiencing symptoms. Our goal is not only to help relieve your symptoms, but to uncover the root cause of your health issues as best as we can to create more sustainable relief. We work in partnership with any other healthcare providers you may be seeing. Everyone benefits from strong, positive partnerships, and we believe in working together with your entire medical team to help you realize your goals. We know that you are not just a collection of tissues and organs. Everything in your body is connected to everything else, and we recognize how each body system affects the whole. Furthermore, we know that other aspects of your life, including your history, your relationships, and your current environment also impact how you feel. This unique way of looking at the body is what allows us to make connections that others miss, and help you modify your diet and lifestyle in ways that will make positive changes for you in both the short and long term. We give you your power back as a patient, because we work with the things you have control over each and every day – diet, supplements, sleep, exercise, relaxation and more. Once we help you figure out which lifestyle factors need to shift, you will have more control over your life and your health than you thought possible.

We have created a unique approach that looks at all aspects of your history and your health, and our process gives us a deep, intimate understanding of what makes you, you. There are four steps in our unique process: 1. We help you remove the top inflammatory culprits in your diet and lifestyle. We call this “clearing the muddy waters.” This step aims to reduce systemic inflammation (the cause of so many symptoms) and helps you see what is going on in your body that is unique to you. We consider this a “non-negotiable.” Without taking this step, it’s hard to go to the next level of care. 2. After we clear the muddy waters, we focus on the symptoms that still remain. We take a careful history, listening to all aspects of your story, in order to identify triggers and root causes in your past and present life. Through this process we also aim to address any deficiencies that might be getting in the way of your healing. These may be nutrient or lifestyle deficiencies. 3. We work with you We take into consideration your current situation, life demands, preferences and unique history so that we can create a custom plan that feels right to you and evolves with your progress and your needs. We check in along the way and work with you to adjust as necessary. 4. We’re with you every step of the way! That means partnering with you and any other providers on your healthcare team that understand the need for a collaborative approach. We ultimately believe that today’s health challenges are best served by practitioners and patients working together. You shouldn’t have to go through this alone!

Your health and wellness are our priority. Our financial policy allows us to provide you with access to the best nutrition and lifestyle care that we can and we do not want to limit your care to what is covered by health insurance policies. Like many functional medicine practices, Functional Nutrition Partners counseling services are an out-of-pocket expense. We’re unable to provide insurance billing codes or NPI numbers, which is outside of our scope of practice as nutrition and lifestyle professionals, but we are happy to partner with any other practitioners on your team. We do have clients who submit their Functional Nutrition Partners invoice to their insurance directly for a percentage coverage, or work with their workplace health savings account to receive some compensation. We encourage you to explore these options.

Functional Nutrition Partners best serve people who have a serious health condition, and are working to make big changes in their life, and are ready for the challenge of taking on more. If you are looking to lose some weight or gain more energy, we absolutely support you and we have resources for you here.
