FAQs
What is functional nutrition and how can it benefit me?
Evolving science is clear that food has a powerful influence on health. Food is more than calories… it contains diverse components that play a role in all body functions. The optimal balance of high-quality foods can promote health and often reverse disease - food is medicine.
Functional Nutrition uses an evidence-based, systems biology approach to identify root causes and imbalances. This patient-centered approach determines how genetics, lifestyle, social, and environmental factors have impacted your health. I’ll work with you to develop a holistic plan for optimizing your health that addresses nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and other factors that create a healthy lifestyle.
will insurance cover counseling visits?
Depending upon your insurance provider and current plan, you may be covered for “medical nutrition therapy.” Please give them a call to inquire about your benefits, number of visits covered, co-pay and deductibles. If a referral is required, please have it sent to my office prior to your first visit. I am currently an in-network provider for the following:
