Functional nutrition is a holistic approach that considers lifestyle factors like activity levels, environment, and chronic disease. It aims to correct and prevent health issues through personalized nutrition and natural methods.

Functional lab testing is different from conventional lab testing in that it's typically more focused on prevention. Functional labs can identify patterns and health trends that may lead to disease or be the cause of non-specific symptoms. They can also detect dysfunction before overt diseases present.

Functional lab testing aims to determine how your body is functioning as a whole. The tests can include blood, stool, urine, saliva, or hair samples to provide information about many systems, such as metabolic, nutritional, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hormonal, immune, genetic, and detoxification. Functional labs can help practitioners take a deeper, more holistic look into the body.

Functional lab testing can help identify the root cause of symptoms, such as hormone imbalances, metabolic issues, thyroid problems, and autoimmune dysfunction. The tests can also reveal underlying imbalances, deficiencies, infections, and toxic exposures that contribute to a condition. It can detect dysfunction before overt diseases present because focusing on a narrower lab range, known as the optimal lab range.

Yes, I work with clients worldwide through virtual video chat sessions.

The timeline for seeing results with functional nutrition varies depending on individual factors and health conditions. Some individuals may experience improvements within a few weeks, while others may take longer. For example, one client dealing with migraines and allergies may see improved results with strict avoidance of gluten the next day. In contrast, another client with longstanding autoimmune issues may not see the same results with simple dietary changes alone. In the latter scenario, putting an autoimmune disease into remission could take a year or more to peel back the hidden stress layers.

Working with an FDN-P does not guarantee results; however, there are reasonable expectations that symptoms will resolve as you begin to untangle the web of root causes contributing to your symptoms.

"Hashimoto's Harmony" is a comprehensive 6-month program designed specifically for individuals with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It combines personalized nutrition, adaptive fitness, stress management, and expert guidance to help participants improve their quality of life and manage their condition effectively.

The program runs for 6 months, providing ample time for participants to make sustainable lifestyle changes and see significant improvements.

While the program is tailored for those with Hashimoto's, individuals with suspected thyroid issues or other autoimmune conditions may also benefit. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before enrolling.

The program includes a personalized nutrition plan based on the autoimmune protocol (AIP) Diet, Paleo Diet which is designed to reduce inflammation and support thyroid function. It will be tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

The nutrition plan starts with a foundation of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and Paleo principles, which are then customized based on:

• Individual thyroid test results

• Food sensitivity testing outcomes

• Detailed medical history

• Genetic considerations (if available)

• Presence of parasites, infections, or toxins

We aim for a balance of about 80% vegetables and 20% high-quality animal proteins, with an emphasis on healing foods and nutrient replenishment. The plan is flexible and evolves as the participant progresses through the program, always focusing on foods that make them feel better while avoiding those that cause issues.

Remember, this personalized approach is key to the success of the "Hashimoto's Harmony" program, as it addresses the unique needs of each individual with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
