Functional medicine is root cause medicine. In conventional medicine, doctors tend to medicate symptoms, rather than dig into the root cause of why their patient is feeling unwell. The problem with this approach is that it ignores the underlying cause of why their patient is feeling unwell in the first place, allowing the condition to persist, despite mitigation of outward symptoms. Functional medicine aims to solve the problem at its source rather than simply treating the symptoms. Functional nutrition takes this premise and puts a nutritional spin on it. Functional nutritionists analyze their clients’ extensive health history and labs to determine the root cause of their condition, and then develop specific and targeted nutrition and lifestyle plans aimed at improving that condition at the source, thus allowing the body to restore itself from the inside out. Functional medicine is the future of medicine, and we at LiveWell are proud to be a part of this community of practitioners.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION?
So much of the noise out there in the world of wellness is geared towards fear tactics to make clients feel “less than”, not good enough, not thin enough, unwell, etc. Our practice espouses the philosophy that we are all enough just as we are. But we live in an imperfect world with an imperfect food supply and an environment that is contributing to our poor health. So we need to work within this imperfect world to realize that it's not our fault that we feel this way. And there are very specific strategies we can implement that can help us feel our best mentally and physically, despite the limitations within which we live.
To that end, we view our relationship with every client as a partnership, one in which we decide together what strategies will best serve them, recognizing that they are the experts of their own bodies.
Using an evidence-based approach, we custom craft simple, actionable, and sustainable plans designed to empower our clients with the strategies they need to truly "Live Well", despite conditions outside of their control.
Under our care, we want our clients to feel that they are on the road to living their healthiest and happiest possible lives, and that they are thriving, rather than surviving.
LiveWell was born from the desire to do better.
