What is the role of a Functional Nutrition Counselor?
1. Understand the WHOLE person, not just a diagnosis
2.Address the terrain within which these signs, symptoms, or diagnoses manifested.
3. Educate the client on why their health challenges arose and how to take back control of their own health.
4. Use our specific skillset to fill in the gaps between the physician and patient.
"As Functional Nutrition Counselors we do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat. Instead, we assess, recommend, and track. We work to support the healing process with each individual in ways they are not receiving from other providers. This sets us apart and allows us to make a significant difference in the lives of those we want to serve and support."-from Functional Nutrition Alliance
