Using functional nutrition to support clients to feel their best
FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
Nutritional therapy aims to address the underlying cause of health problems rather than just treating the symptoms through a combination of dietary, supplement, and lifestyle changes.
Nutritional therapy can also aid in correcting nutritional deficiencies, removing toxic influences, and supporting all major body systems to restore the body to health.

Four Tips for Your Best Night of Sleep Yet
In the mid-1990’s I was helping a Neurologist input his patient handouts into the electronic medical record. I remember one pamphlet, in particular, that was called “Sleep Hygiene”.
