Integrative and Functional Nutrition

Integrative and Functional Nutrition is the most effective way to harness the energy, information and connections to create health and reverse disease.

Integrative and Functional Nutrition recognizes that individuals are genetically and biologically distinct, and that healthful eating must be personalized to YOUR genetics, lifestyle, environment and health concerns. Food is actually information, not just energy (calories). Nutrition affects cellular metabolism and gene expression. Even more, food represents connection – families and friends preparing and eating food together.

Instead of applying a generic diet to an ailment or disease, Integrative and Functional Nutrition looks at underlying causes: inflammatory imbalances, detoxification imbalances, hormonal imbalances, mitochondrial dysfunction, immune imbalances, toxic emotions, digestive, absorptive and microbiological imbalances that create disease – arthritis, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal disorders, obesity and cardiac disease.

What does integrative and functional nutrition help with?

  • Underweight, overweight, obesity, food addiction
  • Prediabetes, Type 1 & 2 Diabetes
  • Celiac gluten sensitivity and food intolerances
  • Digestive and microbiome wellness
  • Irritable bowels, small intestine bacterial overgrowth, GERD (acid reflux), diarrhea and constipation
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Chronic Fatigue, depression, anxiety, brain fox, PMS
  • Autoimmunity (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus)
  • Hypertension and lipid disorders
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome, generalized fatigue, adrenal fatigue, micro- and macrocytic anemia
  • Pregnancy, lactation, infant and child nutrition
  • Nutrition supplements
  • Tube feed consults & blenderized tube feeds
  • Health cooking/meal planning
  • Sleep Hygiene, stress reduction, sports nutrition
  • Joint pain, osteoarthritis, osteopenia, osteoporosis
  • Acne, psoriasis, eczema, hives, and other various skin conditions
  • Parkinson's dementia, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis

What can I expect from an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Consultation?

A Comprehensive Integrative and Functional Nutrition Consultation includes assessment and recommendations regarding:

  • Dietary intake including macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytochemicals, fluid, meal pattern, and timing, eating style and environment
  • Review of systems including signs of nutrient deficiency, digestion, mood, physical symptoms, and anthropometrics
  • Labs – conventional and functional
  • Toxic exposure from food, environment and internally
  • Lifestyle factors including sleep, exercise, relationships and stress
  • Attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, values regarding food and nutrition
  • Use of nutritional supplements and food/medication interactions
  • Personalized recommendations that integrate specialized diets, lifestyle interventions, mind-body practices, and if necessary, functional labs and use of nutritional supplements.

You can expect that:

  • Your consultation will be comprehensive.
  • Your nutritionist will listen to you and your health story in an effort to connect the dots. In integrative and functional nutrition, all the organ systems, body, mind and spirit communicate with each other.
  • You will be treated like an individual and offered a unique list of recommendations.
  • Your nutritionist will work after your session completing documentation and researching and obtaining materials and resources for you.
  • You will have “homework”, that is, reading materials, working on your health, shopping, preparing healing food.

The best way to maximize health and get results is to address diet and nutrition and all its contributing factors. Talk to our staff at Santa Cruz Core to set up a series of consultations in with our Integrative and Functional Nutritionist today.

Body Gem: Metabolic Testing Device

What is it? The BodyGem handheld device provides a precise measurement of your resting metabolic rate, which can account for up to 75% of total calorie needs. This technology allows us to determine your scientifically based Daily Calorie Budget to promote greater weight loss.

Meet your Metabolic Fingerprint

A Metabolic Fingerprint, or resting metabolism, is the unique number of calories an individual burns each day without exercise or activity. An accurate Metabolic Fingerprint measurement provides the definitive answer when creating a personal program. This means that whether you are working to lose weight, build strength, or complete a first fitness event, the plan you prepare will be based on your needs and deliver the results you are looking for. The BodyGem device is a handheld, portable and profitable tool that gives you an accurate Metabolic Fingerprint measurement result in 10 minutes or less.

Hyrdostatic Underwater Dunk Testing: Body Composition

Do you know what percentage of your bodyweight is fat vs. muscle ? Get Dunked! $49 first time rate.

Why Dunk? Stepping on the scale every morning is not only tedious and frustrating before your first cup of coffee, but also fairly limited. A bathroom scale weighs an individual’s cumulative fat, muscle, water and tissue content and spits out an arbitrary number that we use to measure fat loss--it makes no sense!

Hydrostatic underwater weighing is the current most accurate method of determining the ratio of body fat to lean mass.

Call us today to reserve your dunk!

What does Archimedes have to do with it? Underwater weighing is based upon the Archimedes Principle, which states that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.

We can use this principle to determine a person’s percentage of body fat because the densities of fat mass and fat-free mass are constants. Lean tissue, such as bone and muscle, are denser than water, and fat tissue is less dense than water. Basically, muscle sinks and fat floats. To perform underwater weighing, a person is first weighted on dry land. Next the individual will get into a large tank of water. While sitting on a special scale, he is lowered underwater and asked to expel all the air from his lungs and remain motionless while the underwater weight is measured.
