About
what is functional medicine and nutrition?
Functional Medicine and Nutrition is a holistic approach that identifies the underlying root causes of various health conditions. This approach provides personalized health support that caters to individual needs using nutritional coaching, nutritional supplements, natural herbs, stress management, and lifestyle modification. This evidence-based health system gives individuals the necessary tools to achieve their optimal health. Functional Medicine and Nutrition practitioners search beyond physical symptoms, by focusing on the person as a whole. By using various methods of natural remedies, this holistic approach aims to address and improve individual health concerns.
Mission
Our mission is to provide education and personalized health support for people based upon individual function and biochemistry. Designed to look at the person as a whole, Living Waters Functional Health listens to each individual’s unique story and helps uncover any mechanisms that play a role in their underlying health concerns.

It is our goal to inform individuals about the benefits of lifestyle modifications using nutrition and natural herbal supplementation.
