Welcome to Functional Roots Nutrition
Your Guide to Better Health and Wellness
Hi! I'm Amy Ridling, the owner/practitioner at Functional Roots Nutrition-a holistic health resource that guides individuals along their path to better health and wellness. I work with clients to improve their health by listening to what each person is looking to accomplish and finding simple ways to tweak how and what we eat for improved health. I also understand that health is not just about food and also includes our relationships, daily habits, sleep patterns, stress levels, job and so much more. I strive to understand where each client is, where they want to go and find holistic solutions to help them get there. I'd love to help you achieve your goals and find a path to feeling your best!
About Functional Roots Nutrition
My nutrition philosophy is that our bodies are amazing and have the innate ability to heal-if we provide for our unique needs. I also believe what we eat matters and that whole foods provide natural compounds (phytonutrients) that work to enhance our body's health and regenerative abilities. Living in an age of global pandemics coupled with often ineffective health care, we have additional motivation to achieve optimal wellness and eating whole foods can help!
Achieve Your Goals
Options for Success
Healthy Eating and Establishing Healthy Patterns in Your Daily Life
What we eat is a big part of our health! This is especially true in our current world where we are bombarded by toxins in our environment every day. In order to give our body's innate ability to heal itself its best opportunity to thrive, we must be thoughtful in what we put in our mouths. Establishing healthy daily patterns of eating is a great foundation of better health!
Food Allergy/Sensitivity/Intolerance Counseling
We are all unique individuals and foods impact each of us in different ways. Sometimes, people can have negative responses to certain foods and it can be challenging to figure out which foods are causing upset and knowing what to do. At Functional Roots Nutrition, you have a resource to help you navigate this often frustrating issue. You also have someone who intimately understands the struggle of learning mindful eating and will help support you on your road to better health!
Extra Support for Families with Special Needs
I have worked with children and families with special needs for years and I have great empathy for the unique struggles these families and individuals face. As our understanding of the cause of certain conditions and nutrition evolves, it can be overwhelming to understand what foods may be the best in your situation. Functional Roots Nutrition offers support to your family and can provide guidance regarding foods and how they impact health!
Sports Nutrition Education
Athletes often have different nutritional needs from individuals who are less active. Focusing on anti-inflammatory foods and the foods that your individual body responds best to is imperative to athletic success and discovery of what fuels are best for you can offer a competitive advantage. Working with individual athletes, Functional Roots Nutrition can provide additional information to help you be the best you can be!
