What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition is a natural approach to healthcare and wellness in which professional dieticians or health coaches prescribe foods that will improve a patient’s wellness at the cellular level. While regular nutrition follows a more general set of guidelines and recommends foods believed to be universally beneficial for everyone, functional nutrition takes a more detailed approach and uses food to correct health issues on a case-by-case basis.

While standard nutrition is largely focused on issues such as weight loss, muscle gain, and other types of appearance-based transformations, functional nutrition is a much more holistic approach (covering all of the categories of nutrition as well as other aspects of a person’s health) to nutrition that combats a wide range of concerns at the cellular level. So while a body transformation can be very likely when following a functional nutrition program, it is not the only goal.

Aimed at using food to correct problematic health issues, functional nutrition can be used to prevent or correct the following types of maladies:

• Gut or digestive problems

• Autoimmune diseases

• Insomnia

• Depression and anxiety

• Metabolic syndrome

These are just a few of the conditions that functional nutrition can purportedly treat. As many of these conditions are difficult to combat with standard drugs and medical treatment, the potential for functional nutrition is particularly exciting. 

What will I learn in mbg’s Functional Nutrition Training program?

Students in this course will gain an in-depth understanding of functional nutrition, a nutritional philosophy that looks at the body as a whole and focuses on the root causes of a condition rather than an isolated set of symptoms.

Functional nutrition is grounded in the premise that food can truly help heal the body and that what we eat plays a major role in addressing chronic disease, inflammation, autoimmune conditions and other mind & body imbalances.

As such, the Functional Nutrition Training includes a deep dive into key body systems to build understanding of how each appears when in and out of balance, and how to help restore optimal functioning - from heart health, brain health, gut health, thyroid health, hormone health and more.
