Functional nutrition is a Core Pillar of Functional medicine and a very important part of every person’s journey.
It is about finding the right way of eating for each person — using food to maximize the potential for health, and reverse dysfunction or disease. There is no single “right diet” that applies to everyone. Whether you are looking to Take Back Your Life, or use food as a tool for prevention and optimization, our Dietitian will guide you to success.
“What most people don’t realize is that food is not just calories; it’s information. It actually contains messages that connect to every cell in the body; What you eat literally controls almost every function of your body and mind.
…food is powerful medicine. It is information. What we eat can have a profound effect on our lives”
– Dr. Mark Hyman

At KanodiaMD, our dietitian will complete an initial assessment, and create a customized food plan that accounts for food allergies / sensitivities, lifestyle factors, lab testing, nutrient deficiencies and current mental status. Throughout this process our dietitian will help you understand and implement your plan based on realistic action steps that support you in achieving your health goals. When you work with our functional medicine professional, you will have access to a wealth of information to help you adopt a new approach and mindset towards food using strategies and tools that allow you to feel supported throughout the entire process.
Our dietitian will take the time to get to know you, your health history, and your unique needs and goals. This assessment will help identify nutritional imbalances and abnormalities through an organized diet and lifestyle review to create your customized nutrition plan based on targeted needs.
Every individual is unique, and your journey will be too! Your treatment plan will support optimal health and healing, and your protocol may include recommended dietary and lifestyle changes along with educational tools and resources such as menu planning, cooking and shopping tips, and recipes to educate you while empowering you to make the adjustments.
