What if the key to feeling better wasn’t found in a prescription bottle, but right on your plate? In this episode, I’m joined by Mandy Nix, RD, LDN, MS, a functional dietitian who helps people uncover the root causes behind their health struggles and heal through personalized nutrition.
Mandy explains what functional nutrition really means, how it goes beyond meal plans, and why there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all health. From gut health to inflammation to hormone balance, we dig into how your unique body, story, and environment all play a role—and how the right foods can help your body restore and thrive.
In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ What functional nutrition actually is
✅ Why personalized nutrition is essential for healing
✅ How food can address root causes, not just symptoms
✅ The connection between gut health, inflammation, and overall wellness
✅ Simple, practical tips for nourishing your body well
