What Is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition coaching at Soul Space meets you where you are in your health. It focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the unique biochemical makeup of each individual and how nutrition impacts overall well-being, including mental health. By emphasizing a whole-food, nutrient-dense diet tailored to individual needs, functional nutrition aims to optimize brain function, balance neurotransmitter levels, and support emotional well-being. Incorporating functional nutrition principles can lead to improved mood stability, reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhanced cognitive function, and better stress management. Ultimately, by nourishing the body with the right nutrients, functional nutrition plays a crucial role in promoting mental resilience and overall psychological wellness.

Why Choose Functional Nutrition Coaching?

YOU ARE READY TO FEEL BETTER.

Functional Nutritional Coaching is a personalized approach that also fills a gap in medical care. In between medical visits, you may feel lost and not know how to properly care for yourself after a diagnosis. Creating new habits, understanding how food impacts your mental & physical health, and figuring out your next step toward improved health takes intentionality that begins with planning and support.

At Soul Space, we approach nutritional coaching through a functional lens to help your body function at its best. It’s a modality that works not just to support, but to educate our clients on what’s going on in their body, what factors may have contributed to their current condition, and how to make uniquely targeted diet and lifestyle modifications that help them to meet their goals.

Functional nutritional coaching is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We meet you where you are, consider your goals, and your current state of health to create a health plan specific to you.

Meet Ericka

I fell in love with functional nutrition through my journey toward health. Hormone imbalance, Hashimotos, crazy cortisol patterns, and high blood pressure could have made me feel broken. Still, I was determined to figure it all out with the help of some caring practitioners. I learned that nutrition is powerful, isn’t a quick fix, is sustainable, and is worth investigating. I specialize in helping people tap into their own health and wellness potential. It's more than just eating better and exercising; it's about the joy of health, vitality, and energy that comes with elevating your health to the next level. My health coaching approach is comprehensive and holistic. I consider a variety of factors, including nutrition, sleep habits, stress levels, and physical activity, when creating tailored health plans for my clients.
