Functional Medicine Foundations
A smarter, more supportive starting point for Functional Medicine nutrition care
Functional Medicine Foundations is a series of group-based educational classes designed to help you understand how your body works as an interconnected system. These classes provide essential, evidence-informed education so you can build clarity, confidence, and direction before moving into individualized Functional Medicine nutrition care.
This foundational approach ensures that future 1:1 work is more focused, efficient, and personalized—because you already understand the language, concepts, and big-picture patterns influencing your health.
All Functional Medicine Foundations classes are educational in nature and do not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
