Functional Nutrition is a systems-based approach that looks at the inner workings of the body to optimize performance, energy, and overall health. Rather than chasing symptoms, we work to identify and address the root causes of dysfunction—supporting the body’s ability to heal, adapt, and perform at its best.

We understand that every system in the body is interconnected. That means digestion, hormones, immune health, and brain function don’t operate in isolation—they influence one another. So whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance performance or someone navigating chronic fatigue, inflammation, or autoimmune issues, it’s essential to look at the body as a whole.

Functional Nutrition uses personalized nutrition strategies, lifestyle changes, targeted supplementation, and advanced lab testing (when needed) to support the body’s natural function—without guessing. It’s not about treating disease; it’s about restoring function and creating the conditions for the body to thrive.

Kirstin Lauritzen DC MS

Dr Kirstin Lauritzen DC MS is a Functional Medicine practitioner. Her doctorate is in Chiropractic and specialties are Sports Nutrition and applying Functional Medicine principles for sports performance. She also specializes and is certified in Neurolinguistic Programming for working with mindset for healing and habit change.

She believes that long lasting results in healthcare happen when we look at the body from a truly holisitic approach incorporating a top down approach starting with the subconscious mind and how it influences the physical body and a bottom up approach with how the physical body influences the brain.

Functional Medicine is about finding the root cause, but that doesn’t just mean with labs. Lifestyle change is imperative starting with optimal and adequate nutrition, sleep, creating sustainable stress reduction practices, getting optimal exercise, sunlight, rest and then looking at labs & supplements.
