Holistic Nutrition Counseling

Holistic Nutrition Counseling is a modality that supports and educates you on body systems and how making uniquely targeted diet and lifestyle modifications will shift the terrain and help you to meet your wellness goals.  This form of nutrition can address a broad range of symptoms.

Liv Mastrine holds a Master’s Degree in Functional Medicine and is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor through the Functional Nutrition Alliance. Functional Nutrition and Functional Medicine address individual needs through the scope of Full Body Systems analysis.  This approach is also referred to as Root Cause Medicine. This approach determines the specific nature of your symptoms to address them through nutrition, lifestyle modifications, supplements and many other ways that you and your counselor will explore. This approach differs from the protocols of modern medicine, which often aims to treat symptoms by masking them with prescription medications.  Similarly, nutritionists and dietitians often use general protocol diet recommendations to address specific diagnosis. Holistic Nutrition Counseling explores your personal history, lifestyle and symptoms rather than treating isolated symptoms or a diagnosis. We offer a no cost, no obligation virtual consultation to discuss how Functional Nutrition Counseling can benefit you.
