Functional Nutrition FAQ's
DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?
Here are some of the most common ones we hear, along with answers, to help you feel informed and confident as you begin your wellness journey!
-
When will I lose weight? Will this help me lose weight?Typically, our clients start seeing weight shifts within the first two weeks of beginning their initial protocol. You’ll meet with us bi-weekly to track progress and address any health blocks that may be preventing weight loss. If you’re not seeing the desired results, we’ll dig deeper to understand the root cause of why your body isn’t shedding excess weight.
-
Will this alleviate my GI issues?If we haven’t alleviated your GI issues, we haven’t done our job. There’s no magic bullet pill to cure GI issues, but we will help you learn lifelong skills to support a healthy gut microbiome and digestion. There is no “one size fits all” protocol, so we individualize each plan based on your symptoms, health history, and test results. When clients fully commit to the protocol, the results are amazing.
-
Will this help my environmental allergies/food sensitivities?Food sensitivities and environmental allergies often result from leaky gut, toxin overload, and inflammation. We eliminate the guesswork of food sensitivities using the highly sensitive MRT test (Mediator Release Test). Sensitivities develop when food particles leak into the bloodstream past the gut lining barrier. After identifying and removing the foods and chemicals triggering your immune system, we work towards the greater goal of healing the root cause through gut repair. Once the gut lining is healed, toxins are released, and inflammation is reduced, food sensitivities can often be reintroduced slowly. That being said, we cannot reverse a true food allergy. Environmental allergies typically stem from a source of inflammation and an overactive response. When inflammation is lowered, the body becomes much more resilient!
-
Will this help regulate my cycle/hormones?Hormonal imbalance is often the result of a cascade of downstream effects. When you live out of alignment with your body’s needs, your body will let you know in its own unique way. For many, this shows up as irregular cycles, painful periods, infertility, mood swings, and much more. Our approach digs into what is causing your hormones to miscommunicate. With our guidance, many clients find that their cycles regulate, become less painful (if not painless), they can conceive more easily, and their moods stabilize. If you’re in the peri- or post-menopausal phase, there are many steps that can be taken before or alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to optimize your hormones and overall metabolic health. While we don’t provide HRT, we are very adept at understanding its effects and working with nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplementation to optimize all of these factors naturally.
-
How can I regulate or boost my hormones naturally?The two biggest factors in hormone imbalance are nutrition and stress mitigation. This could be environmental (toxin) stress, emotional stress, or metabolic stress. When combined with an imbalanced meal plan, hormones start to miscommunicate. We use every tool in the toolbox to connect the dots between the channels of communication again and regulate hormones.
-
Will this help me understand and manage my health in the long term?Long story short, absolutely! We’re here to provide nutritional and lifestyle changes that will provide you with a lifelong understanding of how best to manage your health. We’ll give you all the education and tools to help you heal yourself, and if you apply them, you’ll see your hard work unfold.
-
How do I know if I can benefit from 1:1 coaching?Think of us as your health guides rather than a coach on the sidelines. We’re walking this journey alongside you! You deserve our undivided attention, individualized recommendations, and full support as you make the nutritional and lifestyle changes that will benefit you for a lifetime.
-
What can I expect us to work on together?First, we’ll begin with an in-depth health record, nutrition, lifestyle habits, and a comprehensive blood panel. From this initial step, we can further guide you to a plan that suits your goals, needs, and unique biology.
-
What is your cancellation policy?If you decide to onboard with us for an initial workup, you can be refunded 100% within a two-week period unless you have already tested and the initial session has already taken place.
-
How far in advance do I need to book?Complimentary consults can typically be booked within the first week of reaching out. If you decide to move forward, the initial session is booked as soon as your forms and labs are complete.
-
Do you take insurance?At Ebb & Grow, we take HSA/FSA but do not take insurance.
