One of the things that has always set me apart (and allowed me, back in the day, to create a 6-figure nutrition practice in less than 3 years without any marketing<\/strong>)<\/em> is that I see my clients and their issues through a unique lens.<\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m familiar with many of the ailments that the clients in my clinic are suffering from. But I\u2019m no walking encyclopedia of pathology.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know the role and remedy that many nutritional supplements can provide. Magnesium is often great in helping to mitigate constipation (but not always.) Fermented food are<\/em> often helpful in boosting immunity (but again, not always.)<\/p>\n

BUT, practicing Functionally is NOT about matching a symptom to its remedy.<\/p>\n

In fact, if you\u2019re on that path, you\u2019re likely trying to hold way too much information<\/em> in your head. And, if that\u2019s you, you\u2019re not leveraging either the information or<\/em> your intellect.<\/p>\n

There is<\/em> a better way.<\/p>\n

Symbiosis\u2026Where food meets physiology<\/h3>\n

The term symbiosis<\/em> is often used to refer to a mutually beneficial interaction between two organisms that live in close proximity.<\/p>\n

For example, yellow tang fish clean sea turtles in the warm waters of the Pacific. The fish gain nourishment, while the turtle is kept clean and free of debris that might hinder movement or even create infection.<\/p>\n

Humans have symbiotic relationships with certain bacteria in the gut\u2014the microbes that help us digest certain foods, produce nutrients like vitamin K, and keep our immunity strong.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s another symbiotic relationship that we as nutrition practitioners need to understand if we\u2019re to help our clients move towards resolution\u2014the relationship between food and physiology.<\/strong> Or more specifically, the relationship between the specific foods your client is eating and the reaction of her unique physiology.<\/em><\/p>\n

In order to practice Functionally, and to find the true roots of your client\u2019s suffering, you must understand not only that she has eczema, but why she has eczema.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is her body rejecting the supposedly innocuous (and healing) avocado she\u2019s been eating?<\/em><\/p>\n

Is her recent divorce causing a spike in cortisol that\u2019s wreaking havoc on her hormones and showing up on her skin? (And if so, is there a way to use food as medicine to guide her back to balance?)<\/em><\/p>\n

Is the probiotic you\u2019ve recommended causing a detox reaction in her particular system?<\/em><\/p>\n

In order to answer those questions, and to be able to do what we all want\u2014to help more people feel better\u2014we need to understand the relationship between food and physiology.<\/em><\/p>\n

We need to understand not just what nutrients do, but how they do it<\/em>, and where and why they behave unusually in any one individual.<\/p>\n

How<\/em> does magnesium help with constipation? By what mechanism is it interacting with the body? And if it doesn\u2019t do what we expect it to do<\/em>, what might that<\/em> tell us about the unique body of the person who\u2019s taking it?<\/p>\n

Or what about the woman who comes to you with a report from her doctor that she\u2019s anemic but she eats an ancestral diet high in animal protein and lots of leafy greens? These should provide the iron that her body needs, but they don\u2019t. Why not?<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is the relationship between the food she\u2019s eating and her unique body not<\/em> creating the benefits it\u2019s supposed to?<\/p>\n

These questions are actually easier to answer than you might think. It doesn\u2019t take an encyclopedic amount of information. It doesn\u2019t take 5 years of post-baccalaureate study, or knowledge of every single biochemical reaction in the body.<\/p>\n

It does take a deep understanding of the digestive system, and an entirely new way of looking at the body.<\/p>\n

You can learn it all in the Functional Nutrition Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n
