What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional Nutrition views food and lifestyle as medicine, and aims to personalize a plan to the individuals needs and cultural identity. Functional Nutrition puts the patient back in the equation. Functional nutrition provides a holistic approach to diet, taking into consideration one's lifestyle factors that could affect their food choices, such as activity levels, environment, or the presence of chronic disease. When you are faced with a health condition or undergo surgery, you may need to change your diet and lifestyle. Unfortunately, our western healthcare system is not designed to fulfill patients' chronic needs. Path 2 Peace helps fill the gap and ideally creates a partnership between the three stakeholders.
Traditional vs Functional Nutritionist
A traditional nutritionist might ask “what is wrong?” or “how do I treat these symptoms?”. A Functional Nutritionist will ask about:
- Timeline of symptoms
- Lifestyle habits
- Nutrition
- Family History
In traditional treatment programs symptoms and diagnosis are the focus. Functional Practitioners work with you to find the root cause and a lasting solution.
