My Approach
The dieting industry is a 75 billion dollar machine promising quick fixes to 45 million people each year. With functional nutrition, Susan helps you tune out of the noise and confusion in the media and help you tune into what your body is telling you so we can bring it back to balance. Got white spots on your fingernails? Need zinc! Get crazy insect bites? Could be low B6 or EBV or high histamine levels. Have anxiety? Let’s boost your D and folate levels or look into chronic infections like strep or mold exposure. Bloating within an hour of eating? Gotta address stomach acid or digestive enzymes. Chronic headaches? Let’s look at hidden food sensitivities or a magnesium deficiency. Can’t tolerate wine anymore? Let’s give your liver some love. Sleepy in the afternoon? We need to balance your blood sugar. Understanding the signals your body is giving you is empowering and puts you in the driver’s seat for your health.
The initial consultation includes a review of your comprehensive symptoms questionnaire, your three day food and mood journal and your health history. For in person clients, Susan also practices applied kinesiology which employs muscle testing and palpating reflex points in the body. This testing can detect imbalances that include nutritional deficiencies, emotional imbalances, organ sluggishness or malfunction, and food sensitivities. This is an incredible tool for any age client but is especially helpful to use with kids and teens, as it is non-invasive, requires no labwork and can give immediate feedback on the root causes of symptoms and speed up healing. By the end of the initial consultation, Susan puts together a personalized protocol for you that includes recommendations around all pillars of health - nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress management and she provides access to professional grade supplements at a discount through Fullscript.
You won’t find strict meal plans or counting any calories here; we work smarter not harder. We remove the stressors taxing your body and add habits that balance the body and build resilience. Your body - given half a chance - is designed for self - healing; our job is to give it the tools to set you up for success.
What is Functional Nutrition?
A FNTP is certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association. FNTP’s draw on a holistic approach to healing, which considers the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. They recognize that disease is complex so they focus on the concept of bio-individuality: where every individual has a specific genetic, ancestral and geographic makeup that determines their own unique nutritional needs. Many nutrition programs fail because they take a “one size fits all” approach that ignores bio-individuality.
