Functional Nutrition is a personalized, systems-based approach to nutrition that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns, rather than just managing symptoms. It considers each individual’s unique physiology, lifestyle, genetics, environment, and emotional well-being when creating dietary strategies.
