Description

Have you ever wondered why certain diets work better for some people than others? Or why certain people lose weight or see results from working out faster than other people? The answer may be rooted in our physiology and lifestyle. Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to diet that takes a variety of factors into account to determine the best nutritional path for an individual. 

In this episode, functional nutritionist and certified autoimmune coach, Risa Groux, walks us through the pillars of functional nutrition and breaks down how her practice works and why what we consume is so important to our everyday lives. She believes that optimal health comes from assessing root causes and uses functional nutrition guidelines and comprehensive testing to map out these causes.
