Functional Nutrition Health Coach

Bernadette recognizes that valuing the whole person beyond just the collection of symptoms and a diagnosis code can be the key to restoring and maintaining good health. She is a Functional Nutrition Health Coach certified by the Functional Nutrition Alliance, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has training through the School for Applied Functional Medicine and a Certificate Course in Environmental Health.

A foundation of functional medicine is the use of food as a first line therapy, then focusing on foundations of health. As a functional nutrition coach, my role is to assist you in understanding what’s happening in your body, identify root cause of imbalances, and help you identify any potential triggers of symptoms, then set and reach your own unique health goals. Because suboptimal nutrition, stress, and toxicity are at the root of most chronic illnesses, symptoms like fatigue, headache, brain fog, overwhelm, and digestive upset can be eased with individualized lifestyle and nutritional changes. 

Sorting through confusing and conflicting information can be overwhelming without support. Using a whole body, whole person, whole lifestyle approach Bernadette guides and supports clients through the process of identifying simple and sustainable steps to stay out of overwhelm and optimize their own environment for healing. 

Bernadette  specializes in helping to clear the home and body of environmental toxins, anti-inflammatory practices, and whole food nutrition.
