NUTRITION STUDIO
Functional nutrition testing
And Supplement Recommendations
Functional Nutrition is a root cause approach to understanding how your body systems work together. It is highly personalized and evidence based. Functional nutrition considers more than your genetics and the food you eat, but also looks at factors like past trauma, mental health, and living environment. At Nutrition Studio, we pride ourselves on providing this model of care through a weight inclusive lens, considering relationship to food and body and ensuring nutrition interventions are from a food abundance and not a food restriction lens. Kassy Dobson, RDN is our functional nutrition expert and has advanced training and certification as a Functional Health Practitioner-certified.
Functional Nutrition Testing
Supplement Recommendations
Functional Nutrition testing is an integrative approach to identifying root cause of symptoms, in order to provide highly individualized nutrition guidance. Functional nutrition testing helps your dietitian to identify deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, and more.
We will:
-
Only recommend functional nutrition testing when other conventional testing hasn't provided the answers you seek
-
Coordinate with your doctor
-
Explain the pros and cons of pursuing functional testing
-
Use a food first, and "all foods fit" approach, rather than restrictive elimination diets
We provide highly individualized supplement recommendations when appropriate, as a supportive part of your nutrition recommendation.
Supplements can be beneficial for reducing symptoms associated with gut disorders, high cholesterol, thyroid regulation, stress reduction and more.
All supplement recommendations are professional grade, third party tested and cGMP certified. We use a quality controlled platform called Fullscript to provide supplement recommendations and sell them at cost with a 10% discount for all clients.
