WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION?
Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to nutrition that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of chronic health conditions, rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach takes into account an individual's unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and medical history to create a personalized nutrition plan that addresses specific health concerns. The goal of functional nutrition is to optimize health and well-being by addressing nutrient deficiencies, improving gut health, and balancing hormones, among other things. This approach is often used in conjunction with other complementary therapies, such as functional medicine and naturopathy, to help individuals achieve optimal health and wellness.

FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
Food is the most powerful medicine we have to heal our bodies. It’s our choice to choose healing foods or damaging foods every time we eat. Did you know cabbage has powerful nutrients to detox harmful chemicals from our bodies? And berries have anti-inflammatory properties that protect you from diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s? It’s a choice. Is it easy to always choose natural, unprocessed foods? No, but we can do our best. Let’s support our organic farmers who work hard for our health instead of the processed food industry which makes us sick. By choosing whole, unprocessed, foods that we find in nature we can FEEL GOOD AGAIN and get back to living.
LAB TESTING
It’s time to stop suffering. Let’s heal your gut so you can get back to living the life you were meant to live. Through lab testing, we find out exactly what is going on in your gut. It has been said our gut is our second brain. Seventy percent of our immune system lies in our gut, and we need a diverse and robust colony of bacteria for health. With testing, we will find out if you have bacteria that is harming you, infections that may be causing illness, or if inflammation is a problem. Is your “gut army” robust and ready to fight off incoming infections or is it lacking and unable to support you. Are you digesting your food properly or is gluten sensitivity holding you back? Do you have food sensitivities that have led to a leaky gut? Stop suffering from chronic bloating, gas, constipation, and stomach upset, and get back to what you love. Together we can do this!
WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS
Did you know that the FDA does not test dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness? What you are buying may not actually have the ingredients that the label is claiming to have. A well-known study done in 2014 analyzed 78 bottles of dietary supplements from major retailers and found that 4 out of 5 products did not contain evidence of the herbs that were stated on the label, and many contained contaminants not listed on the label. Common contaminants found in dietary supplements include heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes. By using the recommended supplements through Emerson Ecologics and Fullscript you can be assured you are receiving the highest quality standard of authenticity, potency, and purity.
My name is Stephanie Lacey.
I'm a Functional Nutritional Therapist. My journey with nutrition began in 2006 when, out of the blue, I became very ill. I was finally diagnosed with an adrenal tumor that resulted in the removal of my right adrenal gland. The doctors said I would be fine, that my other adrenal gland would take over all function. At this time, I didn’t know how important the adrenal glands are, but after my surgery, my life had changed. My body was on fire. I was in chronic pain from head to toe. I consulted with many doctors and specialists who didn’t know why this was happening and worse, didn’t know how to treat it. I can’t even recall how many different doctors I saw without any relief. I started to think I was crazy as they told me it was all in my head. Finally, I stumbled upon a Naturopathic Doctor. She took me off all inflammatory foods and started me on whole food supplements. Within a few weeks I was feeling better. I couldn’t believe it. After so much suffering, I knew I wanted to help spread the word that proper nutrition can help! Food is the best medicine we have to heal our bodies. It should be our very first line of defense. Unfortunately, conventional doctors are not taught about the powers of good nutrition. As a Nutritional Therapist, a properly prepared, whole food diet is essential for any true healing to occur AND to prevent diseases from happening. Let’s get to the root cause of your illness and treat it from the ground up, not just cover it with prescription band-aids. Let’s get YOU feeling good again so YOU can get back to living the life YOU love.
