What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition is a personalized approach to health that emphasizes the connection between your diet, your body’s systems, and overall well-being. Unlike conventional nutrition, which often focuses on calorie counting or generic dietary advice, functional nutrition considers your unique biochemistry, genetics, and lifestyle to develop a tailored plan that addresses your specific health needs. Learn more about this approach from the Institute for Functional Medicine.
