It’s often difficult for patients to fully grasp how my work as a Functional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist differs from more traditional Registered Dietitian Nutritionists!
This original image (designed by Jessica Zarowitz) communicates how I use functional nutrition to address each person’s underlying root causes to help rebalance the body. This is deep nutrition, going below and beyond managing or masking symptoms.
The design is a representative yet playful Functional Nutrition Tree, showing root causes below the surface and symptoms and diseases above the surface.
Functional Nutrition Tree
Through functional nutrition, I approach each patient by focusing on his or her unique underlying imbalances, such as inflammation, gut dysbiosis, poor detoxification, or low nutrient status, to name a few.
Finding the roots of the problem and providing nutritional support, allows the body to rebalance itself and heal, resolving or improving symptoms and diseases.
I use a variety of nutritional strategies from biochemistry to nutrigenomics, diet therapies, targeted supplements, lifestyle options and more.
I work with clients in my Westchester, NY office and via telehealth.
So, I’ll ask you what I ask my clients,
“When Was the Last Time You Truly Felt Well?
