Integrative Nutrition Services
Our nutrition services combine medical nutrition therapy with integrative and functional medicine principles through counseling, education, personalized recommendations, and whole-person therapies.
Areas of expertise include the use of a wholesome, plant-based diet to introduce therapeutic foods and recipes, enhance digestive and whole-body health, support condition-specific nutrition needs, encourage restorative movement, integrate lifestyle modifications, and identify opportunities for further assessment and care.
At the Center for Integrative Nutrition, our dietitians and physicians support patients across all stages of health—from prevention and treatment to remission and long-term maintenance—with the goal of optimizing health for individuals, communities, and the planet.
