Nutrition and Functional Medicine

There is no denying that what we eat and our nutritional intake directly affects our health.

Every cell in our bodies rely on essential nutrients to function optimally. However, our health is influenced by various factors, including our genetic makeup, lifestyle habits, stress levels, sleep patterns, chronic infections, and the environmental pollutants we encounter in our industrialized world.

In today's fast-paced society, it can be challenging to obtain the high-quality nutrition our bodies need. Mass-produced fruits and vegetables are often grown in nutrient-deficient soils, while meat and poultry may be raised with hormones and under conditions that compromise their nutrient density. While eating organic, nutrient-dense food is the ideal choice, it may not always be readily accessible or practical for everyone, leaving nutritional gaps in our diets.

That's where functional medicine and nutritional counseling come in. Functional medicine and nutrition look at all the factors affecting your health and well-being. The goal is to determine what nutritional deficiencies you may have, what body systems are not functioning optimally, and then prescribing supplements, nutritional guidelines and lifestyle modifications to promote optimal health.

 

Our approach is unique because many of the diagnostic tools that are key in Chinese Medicine nicely overlap with the concepts of functional medicine, and using Chinese Medicine diagnostics adds another layer of information that is used to hone in on an effective diagnosis and treatment plan. In fact, blending functional medicine, targeted nutritional supplementation and Chinese medicine often greatly improves your outcomes.
