A functional medicine dietitian is a functionally trained registered dietitian who specializes in the principles of functional medicine addressing the root causes of symptoms with a holistic, whole-body approach. We go beyond calorie counting to consider nutrition/overall nutrient intake, labs, stress, sleep, genetics, detoxification, gut microbiome health, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors to create a personalized care plan for you.
