What is functional nutrition?
Functional Nutrition utilizes a systems-based approach that focuses on identifying root causes to a variety of health ailments, and addressing them to achieve optimal health. Rather than treating or masking symptoms, the goal is to figure out the βwhyβ and the βhowβ that the ailments came to be in the first place.
Imagine a fish tank with a goldfish in it. If the tank is not cared for properly, or cleaned regularly, it becomes dirtyβcausing the goldfish to become sick. When the goldfish becomes sick, do you treat the goldfish? Or do you clean the tank?
Hi, Iβm Jennifer, functional nutritionist & owner of Plantscription Wellness LLC
My approach:
Evidence based β incorporating lifestyle interventions & recommendations in addition to nutrition.
I believe in an individualized, patient-centered approach. What works for one individual may not work for another.
I emphasize the importance of testing, rather than guessing.
I believe that the body works as an integrated system, and use a holistic approach to healing.
I believe in the importance of discovering & addressing the root causes of disease, health conditions, & unwanted symptoms.
A symptom is a signal that there is dysfunction somewhere in the body, and my goal is to help you find & address this dysfunction.
When was the last time you talked with someone about your nutrition and received the personal attention you deserve?
