Nutritional Therapy

Functional Nutritional Therapy

How is Functional Nutritional Therapy different than most other nutrition support? We use the wisdom of your body and attention to your bio-individual needs to uncover underlying root causes to your health challenges. Using a variety of health history tools and functional assessments, including blood work, we can identify what is working and not working in your diet, lifestyle, and mindset. Together, we will create custom recommendations to help support your own personal health goals.

I work with all ages for my nutritional therapy practice, but if I am working with anyone under the age of 18, the parents must be present and participate in treatment.

My services may be supportive for you if you are experiencing any of the following:  

• Digestive distress or disorders

• Adrenal, thyroid, or hormonal imbalances

• Sleep challenges

• Auto– immune disorders

• Food allergies/sensitivities

• Mood and energy dysregulation

• Weight gain/weight loss

• Chronic skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis

• Candida, parasites, or fungal infections

• Brain fog and attentional issues

• Body image and disordered eating patterns

Lingual-Neuro Testing (LNT) is a valuable biofeedback tool that enables the health care provider to determine the usefulness of a nutritional supplement before it is dispensed to the patient. LNT accesses the body’s innate ability to discriminate between what it needs and what it doesn’t need in order to correct a specific problem: a weak organ or a nutritional deficiency, for example. This simple and effective technique makes the difference between a generic nutritional therapy plan and a personalized one.

The phenomenon that is observed with LNT represents:

• The existence of physiologic indicators, like the heart rate, that reflect specific body functions and their relative health
• The powerful connection between the sensory function of the mouth and the brain, or central nervous system (CNS)
• The ability of the CNS to recognize the value of what is in the mouth (i.e. a nutritional supplement)
• The tendency of the CNS to immediately change a physiologic indicator in response and proportional to the recognized value of a particular nutrient.
