What is functional health?

Functional health takes into consideration your diet AND your lifestyle to understand the body as a whole and how it relates to your environment. It emphasizes nutrient dense foods and habit changes focused on sleep, stress, exercise, connection and purpose.  

Instead of relying on a quick fix to mask the problem, functional health practitioners look for the underlying root cause of your symptoms.  

​

For example, someone suffering from anxiety might feel better once they incorporate foods to heal their gut and start making small changes around managing stress.

​

A functional health coach will help tailor the clients needs to their own unique lifestyle. Clients work together with the coach to find their own solutions, which is key for successful, long term habit change. 

"Functional health isn’t just the absence of disease, it’s a state of optimal wellness."

-Dr. Mark Hyman.
