Functional Nutrition

If you’re ready to take your health and wellness to the next level, this ones for you as I sit down with the incredible Andrea Nakayama, host of the 15-Minute Matrix podcast and founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance. Andrea is on a mission to empower individuals, especially moms, to become the best versions of themselves by taking charge of their health through functional nutrition. She shares invaluable insights and tools that you can add to your toolbox to support your journey toward optimal health and wellness.

As a single mom who tragically lost her young husband to a brain tumor, Andrea discovered the power of personalized nutrition and has since become a trusted expert in the field. With her extensive experience and knowledge, Andrea has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide in revolutionizing solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic. She’s a mom herself, and we delve into her journey of implementing functional nutrition into her family life, from childhood to adulthood.

During our conversation, Andrea provides practical tips on incorporating functional nutrition principles into your household, regardless of your children’s ages. We discuss the importance of understanding when to seek tests or labs, and Andrea sheds light on some of the conflicting aspects of traditional and functional medicine. If you’re ready to take control of your health and discover how functional nutrition can transform your life, this episode is a must-listen!
