Functional Nutrition Consultation

Functional Nutrition

In functional nutrition every person has different needs. He has a unique genetic expression, unique food reactions and biological rhythms. It is therefore a personalized nutritional therapy. Add also that functional nutrition is based on finding the causes of symptoms, rather than treating or suppressing those symptoms. 

It is not limited to prescribing diets of so-called healthy foods and controlling calorie intake, but recognizes that food and nutrients are capable of modulating numerous organ functions, hormonal communication, and gene expression.

In addition to helping with weight loss, functional nutrition uses a dynamic approach to assess, prevent, and treat complex chronic diseases.

Therefore, in our clinic, the goal is to get to the root of your symptoms. Identify any imbalances and deficiencies in your diet and together come up with a personalized, preventive nutritional protocol. 

Chronic Diseases

Through functional nutrition we can identify and improve dysfunctions in the physiology and biochemistry of the human body, with the main goal of improving the patient's health.

Here, symptoms are seen as clues to diagnose primary health problems, whether they are related to diet, disease, medication, or are related to lifestyle factors such as exposure to toxins, antibiotic use, or others.

In general, there is a tendency to suppress symptoms with medication, but for functional nutrition the symptoms are signals to understand the body's problems. Most of the time, different seemingly unrelated symptoms, such as digestive problems and thyroid problems, can be connected. For example, fatigue and joint pain may seem unrelated, but with functional nutrition, we put the puzzle together to demonstrate how all these symptoms can be relieved if we take an integrated approach.

Weight loss without dieting

If you are reading this, it is probably because you want to find a healthy way to lose weight. Quite possibly, you have already followed some diet and did not get the desired results. So let us let you in on a little secret: the diet industry wants you to fail!

Dieting, counting calories, and the whole dieting paradigm of the 1970s and 1990s doesn't work in the long run. The obesity epidemic we are currently witnessing is, ironically, caused by the 20th century dieting model. You can initially lose weight, but you regain it after a while.

Diets don't work. What does work is a specific approach, "designed" especially for each person, backed by science. In our clinic, we have, and are, experts in helping you lose weight in a healthy way. Where healthy means that you first need to be/become healthy before you lose weight, because health comes before weight loss.
