Functional Nutritional Therapy
“The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.”
Nutritional Therapy at Cultivated Wellness addresses your health and wellness from a holistic and foundational perspective using a results driven process.
Step 1: Ask yourself: What are my top 1-3 health concerns? Am I ready to get to the bottom of these issues? If you answered yes, keep reading!
Step 2: Complete a thorough health history form and a 300+ symptom questionnaire. These pieces will help guide our next steps together to build a personalized nutrition and lifestyle protocol for you. This protocol will address your top 1-3 health concerns and the steps we will take to eliminate your symptoms and meet your health and wellness goals. At this point we will also discuss labwork/ additional testing and if and when it will fit into our work together.
Step 3: Have our first online zoom session! This will include going over your health history, nutritional assessment questionnaire, and goals to show areas of opportunity and how we’re going to build your wellness plan.
Step 4: Ongoing support via email and/or text, as well as follow up sessions (20, 40, or 60 minutes) to make sure we continue to adjust recommendations as your body changes. We will also use the symptom questionnaire at various checkpoints to make sure we’re staying on track and not missing anything.
Because of our bio-individuality, I do not believe there is a one size fits all food template. I strongly believe in properly prepared, nutrient dense, whole foods as the foundation for everything we do, but there is always room for foods we love or may consider “treats”. I follow the add-in approach first, and then if necessary, short time elimination of specific foods based on your symptoms and goals. Most of us have a relationship with food that may not feel the best at times, so finding out what YOUR food template looks like as a bio-invidual human is one of my favorite parts of nutritional therapy!
