Functional Nutritionist & Holistic Dietitian Services
At Core Nutrition Health & Wellness, we offer more than basic nutrition advice—we help you get to the root of symptoms like fatigue, bloating, insulin resistance, and hormone imbalance. Our approach blends medical nutrition therapy with holistic wellness to help you feel better from the inside out.
Whether you’re navigating chronic stress, struggling with weight loss, or managing gut issues, our personalized care is designed to restore balance and support lasting health.
What Is Functional Nutrition Counseling?
Functional nutrition counseling uses a root-cause approach to uncover the “why” behind symptoms like bloating, fatigue, hormone imbalances, and metabolic issues. Unlike generic advice, this method combines evidence-based medical nutrition therapy with functional medicine principles to create highly personalized care plans based on your labs, lifestyle, and goals.
Functional Health Testing & Root-Cause Analysis
We don’t just manage symptoms—we work to uncover what’s causing them. Through comprehensive health assessments and functional lab testing, we identify the root contributors to fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, and more.
GI-MAP Gut Health Testing
The GI-MAP stool test is ideal for anyone experiencing chronic bloating, IBS, constipation, fatigue, skin issues, or hormone imbalance that may be connected to gut health. It provides an in-depth look at your microbiome, testing for:
-
Harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and Candida
-
Gut inflammation and immune markers
-
Leaky gut (intestinal permeability)
-
Digestive enzyme function and microbiome diversity
By identifying hidden imbalances in the gut, the GI-MAP helps us uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a targeted plan for healing.
DUTCH Hormone Testing
The DUTCH Complete™ test is one of the most advanced tools for assessing hormone health. It’s ideal for those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, irregular cycles, low libido, sleep issues, or suspected adrenal dysfunction.
This dried urine test provides detailed insight into:
-
Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
-
Adrenal function and cortisol patterns
-
Melatonin levels and sleep-wake rhythm
-
Hormone metabolism and detoxification pathways
The DUTCH test helps uncover imbalances driving symptoms like PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, burnout, and sleep disturbances—so we can build a personalized plan to restore balance.
Micronutrient Testing
Micronutrient testing evaluates your body’s levels of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. It’s ideal for clients experiencing fatigue, poor immunity, brain fog, slow recovery, or unexplained symptoms despite eating well. This test helps identify:
-
Nutrient deficiencies affecting energy, mood, and metabolism
-
Imbalances that may contribute to inflammation or hormone disruption
-
Individual absorption and cellular nutrient status
By understanding exactly what your body is missing, we can fine-tune your nutrition and supplement plan for optimal health and performance.
3X4 Genetics Testing
The 3X4 Blueprint Test analyzes 157 key genes to provide a personalized, DNA-based report on your health. Using a systems biology approach, it examines how genes work together across metabolic and functional pathways to give you clear, actionable insights—not just raw data. This test offers guidance in areas like:
-
Weight balance & metabolism
-
Hormone & brain health
-
Blood sugar regulation
-
Nutrient needs & detox support
-
Fitness, heart health, and stress response
Your results help us personalize your nutrition, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle based on your unique genetic blueprint.
