Mel Aytan - Functional Nutritionist

Functional Nutrition is a type of detective work that seeks to identify the underlying causes of disease and conditions instead of treating symptoms. Using state-of-the-art functional lab work to identify healing opportunities and then engage each client in a health building process using potent, proven, professional protocols. This includes Diet/Nutrition, Rest, Exercise, Smart Supplementation, and Stress Reduction. This natural, holistic approach yields the highest level of positive clinical outcomes.

The functional lab work Mel uses looks for dysfunction in the following areas; hormones, immunity, digestion, detoxification, food allergies and intolerances and intestinal barrier systems.  Mel then works with her patients to rebuild these systems to function effectively and efficiently which enables symptoms to subside and disappear. 

Mel understands not every patient needs a deep investigation into their physiology with testing and sometimes it may be a nutrition and lifestyle plan that will help her patients achieve their goals of wellness and vitality.

Mel has had to navigate her own emotional health journey with infertility and personally understands the frustration of moving from practitioner to practitioner and not getting answers.  After her own healing and infertility journey, Mel is now the mother of a beautiful girl and boy. She is at another lifespan phase now, experiencing peri-menopause where she has delved into the research and understanding of how to support this stage of life.
