Functional Nutrition
Personalized Nutrition Plans
Functional nutrition focuses on personalized, nutrient-dense food strategies that respect each individual’s unique biochemistry and lifestyle. We are all unique individuals, and there is no such thing as a one-nutrition-plan-fits-all approach. Understanding this and respecting each patient’s bio-individuality is key. We all have different needs and taste buds, which is why we establish individualized nutritional requirements that are simplified and fit into your lifestyle while working toward achieving your goals.
Dr. White combines ancestral-wisdom with cutting-edge science in the delivery of functional nutritional therapy, that is centered on a shared vision of health and wellness. She will teach you to optimize your health and well-being through the use of delicious, organic, functional foods. The objective is to identify the imbalance or dysfunction and mange it through targeted nutritional and lifestyle support, which is personalized for You.
Supporting Cellular Health
Your wellness is dependent on the health of each and every one of your cells. Nutrients are the building blocks for every process in your body, and when cells are nutrient deficient, the whole system is imbalanced. You are unique and your response to food is entirely specific to you. We identify the imbalances of nutrients in your diet and will provide support and guidance to make sustainable changes to improve your health. Promoting health and restoring your well-being through appropriate nourishment and therapeutic levels of nutrients will enable your body to re-balance, self-heal and restore itself to optimal health naturally. Together we develop a plan that addresses your concerns and lifestyle for a lifetime of functional nutrition and balance.
Foundations of Functional Nutrition
Nourishment for Your WholeHealth
funWhen we give our bodies the nutrients it needs through a nutrient-dense, whole-foods, properly-prepared diet it insures proper digestion so our body may absorb nutrients; this is how we support the body’s natural pathway to WholeHealth. We seek to educate patients on understanding the fundamental truth when it comes to functional nutrition, and it begins with learning how to select and prepare foods that are health-promoting and appropriate for you. We will address each nutritional foundation: digestion, blood sugar, essential fats, minerals and hydration, and it’s impact it has on your health. When each foundation is properly nourished; the body will experience vitality and balance is restored.

Food Sensitivities, Leaky Gut + AutoImmune Support
All Begins in the Gut
Your gut is the foundation of your WholeHealth, as nearly 80% of the immune system is regulated through the gastrointestinal tract. Within a functional nutrition framework, gut integrity is essential—without a healthy gut, immune resilience is compromised, increasing susceptibility to food sensitivities, infections, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune activity.
The intestinal lining serves as both a physical and functional barrier between the body and the external environment. It governs nutrient and fluid absorption while acting as the first line of defense against toxins and pathogens. When this barrier is disrupted by factors such as diet, gluten exposure, infections, medications, chronic stress, or hormonal, neurologic, and metabolic influences, immune dysregulation can occur. Increased intestinal permeability—often referred to as “leaky gut”—allows environmental triggers to provoke inappropriate immune responses, contributing to the development of autoimmunity. Through a functional nutrition–based 6R Program, these underlying contributors are systematically addressed to restore gut integrity and immune balance.
6R Program
Restores GI Health
A properly functioning digestive system is critical to good health. The 6R Program restores your GI tract by normalizing digestion, absorption, assimilation and restoring leaky gut, helps you detoxify, and allows the body to rebalance immune function and inflammation.
We recognize the triad of genetics, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability and will specifically address these factors and focus on your unique genetics and environment—and the interactions between them—as well the importance of the microbiome and intestinal permeability.
