Functional nutrition counseling is an approach to nutrition and wellness that goes beyond just addressing basic dietary needs. It involves assessing and addressing the interconnected systems within the body to understand and improve overall health. This approach recognizes that the body's various systems—such as the digestive, immune, hormonal, and detoxification systems—are interdependent, and imbalances in one area can affect the functioning of others.

The goal of functional nutrition counseling is to identify and address the root causes of health issues through personalized dietary recommendations.
