The Healing with Functional Nutrition course is a package that includes food sensitivity testing + 2 private consults via telemedicine. I have found that the education part of healing is extremely valuable in resolving patient's issues. When the patient understands exactly what is out of balance in their body and why they become much more compliant and therefore heal faster than patients that did not get the education part.

Karen has been incredible to work with. I’ve taken the class, which has helped me realize that I had severe stomach issues; however we were able to get to a healthy state, and we’re continuously working to heal my micronutrient deficiencies. I've taken two food sensitivity tests and have seen progress. Over 2 months I lost 12lb thanks to the clear steps that I had been given. For the past whole year I was unable to lose any weight so this was my hard-earned miracle. I feel like a whole new person, and I highly recommend Smart Nutrition if you feel stuck and hate being told that nothing is wrong

It is not an exaggeration to say that discovering Karen has been like a miracle for me. Before my first appointment with her, I was having painful diverticulitis attacks, following Doctors’ orders, taking antibiotics, and eating the conventional anti-diverticulitis diet put forth by the most respected medical institutions. Still, the attacks continued. Karen’s recommendations at our first appointment, based on food sensitivity blood testing, ran so counter to the conventional wisdom that I contacted her and said I was afraid to make the changes, fearing I would get worse. Karen told me in no

Karen Graham helped me gain the insight needed to chart a new direction to improve my health. Working with Karen I no longer have type two diabetes, weight is now in the normal range, and my mind is no longer in a fog. Developed an understanding how foods effect my health and what my body needs. Highly recommend Karen Graham.

After years of searching for a solution to elimination issues and feeling like I was living in a fog, a friend shared the invitation to Karen's GI workshop. To say that light bulbs were going off left and right during the workshop is an understatement! The changes in my overall health since working with Karen are amazing - the fog has lifted, I have more energy, am stronger, and the elimination issues are almost totally gone. You definitely are what you digest! I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to live a better, healthier life.

Karen Graham is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all issues related to her clients. She investigates your particular issue, and fixes each and every item as it relates to that issue, until the disease process has completely resolved the correct way (prescribed medicine is reserved for those with no point of return as a last option). All appointments were easy to make with her assistant Jo-Anne. Highly recommended without reservation. Saved my life.

After developing some complex GI issues related to Leaky Gut over the past 5 years, I was referred to Karen Graham by my Integrative Medicine doctor. Within the first 10 minutes of sitting through one of Karen’s workshops it was clearly evident that she was the GI expert I needed to finally help me heal after years of being chronically ill.
As a Functional Medicine Dietician, Karen’s understanding about the human microbiome and how it affects the many aspects of our bodies has me on the right path to recovery. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has been struggling with stomach issues

I visited with Karen and couldn’t be happier with my investment and results. I decided to see her because I had continuous annoying gut tenderness and discomfort. A friend had begun seeing Karen, was getting great results and I decided it was time to figure my stuff out. I didn’t even realize how uncomfortable I had really become until the intestinal pain was gone, which happened quickly once I learned which foods I had become sensitive to. Cutting those foods out gave me nearly immediate relief. Karen helped me learn what I needed to do for my body to help it heal and I am happy to report

My name is Ellen Fink and have been a patient of Karen Graham for over 3 years. In that time in dealing with Karen and JoAnne I have never had a bad word to say about either one of them. They are and have been always congenial and very professional. When there is a problem of any kind it is handled very quickly. My pain and health issues have improved tremendously since seeing Karen. I would recommend any one with Fibromyalgia to see Karen for evaluation and possible treatment.
