Functional Nutrition

Nutrition for Living

Proper functional nutrition is an absolutely vital component to creating a healthy and optimal lifestyle. The food choices we make each day directly affect our health and well being. Along with the obvious benefits that come from a healthful diet (such as weight management, increased energy levels and digestive health), proper nutrition is also a staple of preventative health. Combined with physical activity, your diet can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease, diabetes and cancer), reduce high blood pressure, regulate mood and depression, and promote overall health.

Focusing on a holistic approach to well-being, our Registered Dietitian (Gina Jones MS, RDN, LD) works hand and hand with you to craft a nutrient-dense nutrition plan that is customized to your lifestyle and nutritional concerns. Based on your preferences, we’ll work together to build an effective plan based on balance, variety, and moderation. Good nutrition allows your body to get all the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals it needs to optimally function and remain at its best. In fact, making informed food choices can even help strengthen your immune system and drastically improve your ability to recover from illness or injury.

Of course, as with any lifestyle change, changing your diet can be an uphill battle. To navigate these obstacles, our expert Nutritionist will work with you one-on-one or in support group sessions to help you implement small, sustainable changes. In the case of dieting, some common barriers to healthier choices are: gathering nutritious ingredients that adhere to your dietary goals, using these ingredients to prepare satiating meals, and of course taste. Providing solutions for all of these common pitfalls, our comprehensive nutrition services include grocery tours, cooking demos and personalized supplement recommendations.

Whether your goals are athletic in nature or health based, our dietary specialists will lead you toward success. Together we’ll make healthful habits sustainable.
