Functional Nutrition

Functional Nutrition

Functional nutrition is the practice of considering every aspect of health, diet, and overall lifestyle when giving nutrition recommendations. Emily Herndon, PT, DPT, CLT, and Ross Eckstein, PT, DPT, OCS have been certified in functional nutrition with Integrative Pain Science Institute. With functional nutrition, symptoms are seen as clues for managing primary health issues, where they are related to diet, illness, medications, lifestyle factors, exposure to toxins, antibiotic use, or other factors.

Our physical therapists will perform:

• A comprehensive evaluation of the previous medical history
• Review of organ systems
• Review of medication and supplement history
• Review of current diet and lifestyle habits
• Review of previous medical testing and results

With these results, we will work to develop a customized nutrition program that will fit your needs.
