Every day I am bombarded with conflicting nutrition advice from experts, the media, and well-meaning friends.

There are so many diets to choose from, and experts claiming a single diet is the ideal way to eat. The reality: nutrition is bio-individual. You have different genetics and life exposures that impact your health and the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

According to the Nutritional Therapy Association where I received my training as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, there are 6 nutritional foundations critical to symptom-free good health.

 1.  Whole Food Nutrition: REAL FOOD BUILDS REAL HEALTH.  Focus on the nutrients, not the calories.  Nutrient-dense whole foods are the foundation of optimal health.

 2.  Digestion: YOU ARE WHAT YOU ABSORB.  If you can’t break down and absorb the nutrients, you can’t benefit from them.

 3.  Blood Sugar Regulation: WHAT GOES UP, MUST COME DOWN.  Stable blood sugar levels provide consistent energy.

 4.  Fatty Acid Balance: FATS ARE FRIENDS.  Beneficial fats = stable energy, optimal brain function, healthy cells, hormone balance, and satiety.

 5.  Mineral Balance: THE BODY’S SPARK PLUGS. Minerals initiate actions in the body, build bones and balance hormones.

 6.  Hydration: WATER IS LIFE. LIFE IS WATER. It makes up ≈ 60% of the body and over 90% of the population is chronically dehydrated.

 When working with new clients, my symptoms assessment questionnaire along with a full health history help us determine which of these foundations are our top priority.

 Book a complimentary discovery session to discuss your health concerns and goals and how Nutritional Therapy, and my coaching, can help you identify and address your priority nutritional foundations so you get the results you are searching for.

 Are you ready to truly nourish your body and thrive?

"Functional nutrition changed my life and I have Heather to thank for restoring my health. She's an incredible coach that truly cares about her client's health and well being. I suffered from digestive issues such as bloating, "food poisoning," and gas. Heather suggested a few functional labs where we discovered an overgrowth of a parasitic bacteria in my stomach. With herbs, supplements, and lifestyle changes we were able to clear the bacteria and restore my digestive system." - Kelly S.
