Functional Nutrition is founded on the principles of Functional Medicine, which aims to correct root causes of chronic disease by comprehensively evaluating and treating the whole-body system. Functional Medicine & Nutrition utilizes systems biochemistry to identify disease patterns upstream as a means to correct underlying causes of chronic sickness.
We utilize specialty functional lab testing to do a deep analysis of the microbiome, metabolism, nutrition status, environmental insults (toxic exposure), hormonal evaluation and more. At a baseline, we also will ask all patients for a few basic lab panels that your regular doctors typically order so that we can understand basic metabolic and organ function.
Alex is a top-notch nutritionist - a real scientist and health-nerd who is also a great people person, and treats each client with care and love, like she would want to be treated. In the years she has been working with me as a Functional Medicine researcher and as a nutritionist student, I was impressed time and again by her thoroughness, attention to detail and deep knowledge of the science behind human health.
