Functional Nutritional Therapist

Functional Nutritional Therapy is a foundational, holistic approach to wellness that focuses on supporting the body's natural healing processes through  a properly prepared, nutrient dense, whole food diet and well balanced lifestyle. It centres on the individual needs and biochemistry of each person. Unlike traditional nutrition approaches that primarily focus on macronutrient and calorie intake, functional nutrition takes into account a person's medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to develop a customised plan for optimal health. It acknowledges food is not simply a source of calories but also a powerful tool that can influence overall health and vitality. It considers the connection and interaction between various body systems and aims to identify deficiencies and imbalances within the body.

When the body becomes imbalanced and deficiencies arise, the first thing our body does is communicate with us through symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, weight gain, PMS, brain fog, heartburn, poor sleep, anxiety, constipation, the list goes on! The role of a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) is to look at the body from a whole, address imbalances and deficiencies, use bio individual nutrition focusing on nutrient dense whole foods and lifestyle modifications to support their client's journey to optimal health. This supports the body's ability to restore balance, supports optimal function and prevents disease.  We do not heal you, we assist the body’s innate intelligence and ability to heal itself and as a result, you can thrive!

We can work together to investigate what these symptoms are signaling and address any dysfunction. The body is wonderful at communicating with us, we just need to listen.
