On the forefront of healthcare is a paradigm shift to functional medicine that encompasses a patient-centered approach versus disease-centered approach and this movement is strongly rooted in nutrition. IFMNT goes beyond the traditional standard of healthcare and bridges the gap between conventional and functional approaches, focusing on the uniqueness of the individual, down to even a person’s genetic makeup.
Connecting the dots of everything that has affected their overall health in between is the key to addresses core imbalances that underlie many chronic health conditions. Functional medicine and functional nutrition, terms often used interchangeably, are becoming highly recognized as an effective approach to healing a variety of health issues and with this shift in healthcare we are all waking up to the possibility of healing with a root case approach.
I am a Registered Dietitian with a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition, a master’s certificate in dietetics, and am currently completing my master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. I am also certified in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy, which is my specialty.
But of equal importance, I’m also a patient. I am a Multiple Sclerosis warrior, a recent avascular necrosis combatant, a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation veteran, and a partially bionic woman after a double hip replacement. I’ve faced many health complications but it was through these adversities that I found my passion and career.
