Most people don't know what functional nutrition is.

I'm working on the finishing touches of an online presentation to share with the community about the burgeoning field of functional medicine, what functional nutrition is and how it can help heal chronic illness. Spreading the word about this approach is dear to my ❤️.

I don't want others to suffer needlessly when there are actionable steps those suffering with debilitating chronic illness can take to change the terrain in which the illness exists.

If you know of an organization that you think might be interested in this educational presentation about how functional medicine and functional nutrition helps heal chronic health conditions, and the work that I do, please contact me for more information and to schedule a presentation.

The development of the support group for the eliminations of highly inflammatory foods in the Standard American Diet is still underway. Keep a look out in your inbox and on Walker's Functional Nutrition's social media accounts for more information.

I am also developing educational curriculum to present to community non-profit agencies like mental health and substance abuse treatment centers on the most important lifestyle factors to consider along with limiting or giving up CRAP (Carbonated drinks, Refined sugars and flours, Artificial and Processed foods) for improved health and vitality.

As the sole proprietor of Walker's Functional Nutrition and Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor I'm on a mission to support people to heal their chronic health conditions naturally using diet and lifestyle modification.

Functional Nutrition Counselors fill a gap in the current health care paradigm by supporting people in a holistic counseling program that is guided by a biological systems approach where everything is connected, every individual is unique and all the things we do to better our health matters.

In my counseling practice I aim to inspire people struggling with chronic illness to learn their mediators for health in an ever increasing sick society where CRAP food (Carbonated drinks, Refined sugars and flours, Artificial ingredients and Processed food), stress and toxins contribute to the epidemic of chronic illness not getting better through conventional health care treatment modalities.

Are you sick and medications are not making you feel better? Are you interested in exploring natural options that your doctor hasn't told you about to address your illness? There is a proven way to improve your condition by focusing on gut health, where 70-80% of your immune system resides. You might not realize the extent to which your diet affects your immune system.

I educate on the importance of avoiding toxic chemicals making you sick and how the unhealthy food environment of the Standard American Diet (yes, it is so sad) of processed foods is designed to keep you addicted. I help you find ways to manage the stress of modern life, get better sleep, find the right type of movement that your unique body needs, and ensure you're feeling connected to your social group & supports and feel a sense of meaning and purpose in your life; all necessary if you are motivated to try a more natural approach to healing what ails you.

We look to the roots of illness; your genes, digestion and inflammation and empower you to take back the reins of your unique body's health by the choices you make everyday to nourish and care for yourself. Self-care in the areas of mind, energy, emotions and the physical body are prioritized, as well as helping you develop a healing attitude and new skills to listen deeply to what you need.
