WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION?
Just as Functional Medicine approaches the body from the perspective of treating the root cause of disease, Functional Nutrition looks at the foundational way that food affects your body at the cellular level. By using food as your most powerful tool in transforming your health, you can positively influence your biochemistry, prevent and treat imbalances, change the way you think and relate to food and have a sustainable and lasting impact on how you feel.
WHAT IS FOOD PSYCHOLOGY?
Food psychology is the study of both how we eat and the mental and emotional processes behind our eating. Our relationship to food and our bodies has significant impact on how we think, feel, and experience our day to day. Food psychology examines the holistic and psychological impact of food on our body, mind, heart and soul.
WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE HEALTH?
Integrative Health is a state of well-being in the body, mind, heart and soul. Here we consider the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and physical health. Integrative health includes we track the physical sensations of our body (including hunger and satiation), how our thoughts impact our wellness, and how our emotional resiliency informs our health.
