Integrative Nutrition and
Functional Testing in
Nelson, BC

Functional nutrition and lab testing that goes beyond symptoms — to find the root cause and build a protocol around it.

Symptoms are the signal. The root cause is where the work happens.

Most nutrition approaches manage what you're feeling. This work goes deeper into your gut microbiome, your mineral balance, your food sensitivities, and how they interact. Every protocol is built from your test results, your history, and your biology. Not a template.

FUNCTIONAL LAB TESTING

The tools I use to find out what's actually happening

01

GI MAP
