Functional Nutrition takes a meta-view of your health. Finally, a practitioner who looks at the big picture first before any specialization work begins. We work within the principles of Functional Medicine, but we are dedicated to Foundational Medicine. Our goal is to help relieve your symptoms and address the root cause of your body's dysfunction. We work in partnership with any other healthcare providers you may be seeing. We give you your power back as a patient because we work with the things you have control over every day – diet, supplements, sleep, exercise, relaxation, and more. Once we help you figure out which lifestyle factors need to shift, you will have more control over your life and your health than you thought possible.

In my experience, most people have dysregulated gut, nervous, and hormonal systems. Did you know that toxins can increase your weight? Some toxins have their own category called obesogens. "When your body gets an influx of these chemicals it doesn't know how to break them down, so it stores them as fat. Have stubborn weight that won't go way? The purpose of your fat may be storing chemicals away from your organs-bodies are so smart. The flip side of this coin, is that obesogens also block the hormonal receptor sites, making it impossible for hormones to enter your cells to do their job.* Here's the list of obesogens:

• BPA plastics, phthalates
• Atrazine
• Organotins
• PFOAs (Forever Chemicals)
• Soy protein isolates
• Monosodium glutamate

They are found in our foods, water, beauty products, cleaning products, cookware, and even our clothing. My Tier 2, Back to Best program includes a Gut Detox Online Group Course to help release obesogens from the body. (Pelz, 2022)

If you are satisfied with your recent lab work, and don't have any mystery, chronic or autoimmune issues, I suggest embarking on a 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet or booking a Health and Wellness Coaching session to learn more about how behavior-change coaching can help you lose weight and feel lighter.

It's best to start making small changes with a behavior change expert. I suggest booking a Quick Complimentary Health and Well-Being Coaching (Tier 1) Consultation to learn more about how behavior-change coaching can help you target your health challenges while doubling down on your positive health habits. This is how you take charge of your well-being and build health habits that last a lifetime.
