Functional Nutrition Portsmouth, NH

Have you ever heard the statement “you are what you eat?” In functional nutrition, it's truer than ever. Functional nutrition operates on the understanding that the food you eat will either help or harm your body.

Food is more than taking in calories or eating what tastes good—it's about giving your body the nutrients it needs on a cellular level to prevent development of health problems and promote wellness. In the eyes of functional medicine , food is your medicine.

Functional nutrition focuses on treatment of the root cause of a variety of health problems. These may include:

How does Functional Nutrition Work?

Your functional medicine provider will determine what foods you need based on a variety of different assessment tools.  He or she will collect an extensive medical history including information about your current diet, health problems, exposure to toxins, history of antibiotic use and much more.

You can expect some blood work as well to tell your provider more about what's happening inside your body, but this information won't be the only deciding factor in your functional care.
