Functional Nutrition Therapy
Krystal helps explain what Functional Nutrition (FN) Therapy is and how it is helpful for you!
Functional nutrition with Krystal is more than just about food.
Krystal, our Functional Nutrition Therapist, looks at you as a whole person including your life history, trauma, lifestyle, beliefs, background, activity–you name it! Functional nutrition focuses on an educational approach to healing, recovery, and health. Moreover, it explores the role that the nervous system, hormones, and nutrients play in overall body function.
After 9 years as a mental health clinician, Krystal found herself searching for more knowledge about how to heal through nutrition and rewire the nervous system.
She engaged in an intensive 10-month study of nutrition, functional anatomy, and functional physiology to support patients of functional medicine practitioners. Both during and after her studies, she also engaged in her own journey of rewiring the brain and nervous system to heal disease she was experiencing.
She has a passionate thirst for knowledge on the human body’s ability to heal and shares it with her clients (or anyone willing to listen)!
So how does that help you?
- Improved Digestion and Nutrient Absorption: Holistic functional nutrition can help address any imbalances or deficiencies in the digestive system, leading to improved nutrient absorption and overall health.
- Reduced Stress and Managing Chronic Disease: Krystal can help optimize your nutrition to decrease physical stress in your body thereby reducing inflammation. This can lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
- Increased Energy Levels: By addressing how stress impacts the body, such as gut and brain health, you can begin to have increased energy levels and reduce fatigue.
- Enhanced Emotional Regulation, Mental Clarity, and Focus: Because of Krystal’s unique skillset and personal experiences, she offers ways to regulate your nervous system, especially in emotions and thoughts.
One step at a time, Krystal will look to the underlying causes of imbalances, disease, and dysfunctions in your body to improve overall health and well-being. Ultimately, she seeks to help you get back to the you that you know you can be!
Good FN coaches or therapists collaborate with you to personalize your nutrition and lifestyle. Collaboration is a key value at BiTS as part of our integrative approach for all of our clinicians, and Krystal is a collaboration star! Krystal will collaborate with you to:
- Understand your needs and goals.
- Bio-individualize a plan for nutrition and lifestyle shifts.
- Stay alongside you as you make one step at a time.
We believe that Functional Nutrition therapy with Krystal can help you move towards a life more fully lived.
