About

Functional Nutrition

We are seeing a rise in patients suffering from chronic diseases every day. Many of these chronic conditions, metabolic disturbances, autoimmune diseases and inflammation are a perpetuated and/or heightened by diet, nutrition and other lifestyle factors.

There is a huge deficit in nutrition education in the mainstream health care model. At Brain Health D.C., we believe in empowering patients through education about the state of their health. We use functional nutrition to adequately assess nutrition status and to offer a personalized approach to nutritional therapies that will address the factors underlying chronic disease. No two individuals are the same, thus we gather information and assess objectively, through clinical history, evaluation and laboratory analysis the nutrition status of each individual. Using this information, we implement, monitor, set individualized goals and follow up regularly to support the patient’s return towards optimal health and improved function.  

Our customized interventions range from healthy dietary choices, individual macro and micro nutrient demands, phytonutrient diversity, meal prep, appropriate meal timing, lifestyle modifications, sleepy hygiene, home and personal care and much much more. Today we see many generic plans and protocols. While these can be helpful, we often hear patient say “I tried it but it did not work.” OR “I felt good for a while, but then…” Our tailored functional nutrition and lifestyle counseling is focused on empowering you to take a stand for your health, make informed and educated decisions and regain optimal health by restoring proper physiological functioning of the body.
