What is Functional Nutrition?
"Treat the root cause Not the symptoms"
Our body has a natural healing mechanism built with in and it functions to its real capacity when we do not interfere with the process. Unfortunately with so many changes in our eating and lifestyle habits, taking medication frequently has been a big blocking log for our natural healing mechanism. Functional medicine now focuses on treating the illness without interfering the natural healing and functional nutrition helps to enhance the process of healing. Both together works by highlighting the ways that food is a fundamental component of health. Functional nutrition focuses on dietary habits, but it also considers the other components of health and whether food can be a part of the root cause.
Functional Nutrition understands the onset of the symptoms and the contributing factors like stress, and dietary & lifestyle habits that have to lead to concerns, including inflammation, chronic diseases, and autoimmune conditions.
Functional medicine & Nutrition focus on treating the cause of the disease rather than masking the symptoms of the disease with medication. I have seen clients trapped in a vicious cycle of chronic medication which can easily mask the cause of the disease and their disease is never put into remission as the healing process is interfered by the medication.

To be precise, functional nutrition & Functional medicine do not just limit to diagnosing, prescribing, or treating their patients with medication for specific conditions. Instead, the light is focused on their understanding all aspects of health problems treated with a holistic approach, educating patients about the ways their behavior is impeding their optimal health, and offering suggestions for improvement.
