About My Approach
Nutrition is the science of how food and nutrients influence the body on a biochemical and physiological level. It shapes your energy, mood, immune health, metabolism, cellular function, and ultimately long-term health and less than 15% of medical appointments even discuss this. Functional Nutritional Therapy is built on the understanding that many modern health challenges stem from imbalances in our body’s foundational systems that make it function properly, often driven by diet, chronic stress, and weakened digestion. Because every system in the body depends on proper nutrients through proper digestion, digestion is the number one healing priority of the body within the physical equation. Our gut health relies on proper digestion, and the gut doesn’t operate in isolation. It communicates constantly with the brain, hormones, metabolism, and immune system. When the gut microbiome becomes imbalanced, it’s been linked to issues ranging from anxiety and depression to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, IBS, and so much more. Bananasana Nutrition services offer a holistic and bio-individual approach that focuses on proper digestion, nutrient absorption, balanced gut, and root cause healing, helping clients restore homeostasis and long term vitality.
Believe it or not, the body does talk… in symptoms! We can gauge a lot from symptoms alone but testing really closes the loop to see what actually needs to be addressed. The same symptom in two people could be presenting very different lab results and areas that need addressing to restore proper function and balance. Xo ~Aubrey
