Functional
Nutrition
Functional nutrition takes a personalized approach to diet, addressing individual health, genetics, and lifestyle needs. It focuses on tailored plans rather than one-size-fits-all diets, promoting optimal health and disease prevention.
While the term “functional nutrition” might seem relatively new, the concept has been around for generations, dating back to the early practices of holistic medicine. Over the years, as studies regarding nutrition and its impact on health have evolved, so too has our understanding of functional nutrition. It has shifted from a general concept of healthy eating to a more targeted approach, identifying specific nutritional needs based on an individual’s unique body and health conditions.
The principles of functional nutrition view food as fuel and a tool for healing and disease prevention. These principles also underscore the importance of an individualized diet approach, considering factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Thus, it goes beyond the simple notion of a balanced diet, focusing instead on a holistic approach to health and wellbeing through personalized nutrition.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional Nutrition is a personalized approach that takes into account an individual’s unique genetic makeup, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and current health status. By tailoring nutrition plans to these specific factors, it aims to address underlying health issues, promote long-term well-being, and support the body’s natural ability to achieve optimal health. This holistic method ensures that each person’s unique needs are met, paving the way for sustainable health improvements and a better quality of life.

Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to health and wellness that views the body as an interconnected system.

By addressing the whole person rather than isolated symptoms, functional nutrition provides comprehensive and lasting solutions for optimal health.
Lives Changed
“Today, I visited Metabolize Health for the first time, and I am very impressed with the level of service and care the staff and Dr. Michelle provided. This is a genuine review—I am not being compensated by the provider. I simply feel compelled to share this place with other women who may need it.
Metabolize Health should be packed with women in their late 30s and early 40s preparing for the next stage of life: menopause. During my visit, I discovered so many valuable tools to help navigate this future stage of my life. It’s astonishing how other doctors don’t talk about or prepare women for what’s to come. This visit highlighted how important it is to be informed and proactive.
The director and staff are knowledgeable, caring, and attentive. They take their time to listen to patients’ concerns and always remain professional. I am absolutely in love with Dr. Michelle. She listened to my current concerns and provided thorough explanations and information about my health. For the first time, I feel like I’ve found a doctor who truly cares about her patients.
I will definitely continue to visit Metabolize Health. My health journey, including preparing for menopause, starts here, and I couldn’t be happier to have found this place. Hands down, I highly recommend Metabolize Health.”
“I’ve been managing my perimenopause with the help of Metabolize Health and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Their use of hormone pellets, supplements, and IV treatments has made navigating this transition much smoother than I anticipated. The staff’s expertise and care are truly outstanding. They are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring, making each visit a reassuring experience.”
“I have severe scoliosis and I’ve been actively trying to find pain relief for last 12 years. I’ve done every treatment available, except for surgery, which they put metal rods in your back, so that’s not happening. I found Metabolize Health on social media and I had doubts whether their machine Sanexas could help my severely damaged back, but amazingly it did and I’m 90% better. I usually get treated by Tennasea or Britney and they are the best. For any pain you may have, I highly recommend heading here to see what they can do for you, I’m hugely grateful for what they have done for me.”
