WHAT IS AYURVEDA?
India's Traditional System of Medicine
Ayurveda is the traditional system of medicine that evolved out of India. Ayurveda is an ancient medicine, tried and true with 2,000 years of wisdom behind it. It is a sister science to Yoga and sometimes employs Yogic practices such as pranayama (breathing techniques) to compliment its vast array of botanical, lifestyle and dietary therapies always personally tailored to each individual. Ayurveda espouses bio-psycho-spiritual integration to achieve true health and wellness. It sees all these aspects of ourselves as interrelated entities working together to produce a single biological system that we call a human being. In this manner, it examines any given complaint within the context of the whole and is truly holistic.
"Let Food Be Thy Medicine
And Medicine Be Thy Food."

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE NUTRITION?
Functional Nutrition is an approach to healthcare that emphasizes eating in a way that is personalized to your genetics, lifestyle, environmental factors and unique combination of health concerns. Its philosophy is that food is information for our cells and connection for our lives, not just energy (calories). Functional Nutrition looks to address the root cause of dis-ease by identifying triggers and mediators of the sources of disharmony in the body. It uses tools like whole, real foods, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements, and healing lifestyle practices to correct biochemical imbalances. The Functional Nutritionist looks first and foremost to the broad breadth of scientific literature to inform her recommendations for each individual.

All systems in the body are interconnected - each affecting the other and none existing in isolation from the other.
