10 Signs Your Digestion Needs Support

The digestive system influences far more than the stomach. Because the gut acts as a barrier between the outside world and the bloodstream, when this system becomes stressed or compromised, symptoms can show up throughout the body in ways most people never recognize as digestive in origin. Explores the often-overlooked signs that your gut may be asking for support.

Hypertension’s Connection to Metabolic Disease

High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes may look like separate conditions, but they often grow from the same soil: metabolic dysfunction. This article explores how these two major health concerns are intertwined, why they so often appear together, and what it means for protecting long-term health.

The Real Story Behind Cholesterol, Fat, and Heart Disease

For decades, cholesterol was painted as the enemy of heart health. Doctors, nutritionists, and food companies told us to avoid eggs, butter, and red meat, warning that these foods would clog our arteries. But the story of how cholesterol became a villain isn’t as straightforward as it seems. It begins with a flawed study, a presidential heart attack, and a nation eager for simple answers.

Unlocking the Power of Omega-3s

Fat often gets a bad rap, but essential fats are non-negotiable for health. Omega-3s, in particular, are a unique class of polyunsaturated fat your body can’t make on its own. From supporting brain function to keeping inflammation in check, they’re as vital as protein and vitamins—yet most people fall short. In this article, we break down what makes Omega-3s different from other fats, why deficiencies are common, and how to get enough from whole foods or smart supplementation.

Want Better Blood Sugar? Eat More Fat

For years, we were told to fear fat, but Functional Nutrition offers a very different message: the right kinds of fat can support metabolism, steady your blood sugar, and fuel your brain. This article unpacks why the right fat isn't the problem, how your body uses it, and why increasing healthy fats while reducing refined carbs might be one of the smartest metabolic shifts you can make.

The Liver: A Metabolic Workhorse

Your liver does far more than detox after a night out. It’s a metabolic workhorse, working 24/7 to process nutrients, regulate cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and safely clear medications and toxins from your body. In Functional Nutrition, we view the liver not just as a detox organ, but as a key player in energy, hormone balance, and long-term metabolic health. Learn how this organ may be the most under-appreciated hero in your body—and why supporting it is essential for anyone navigating chronic illness, fatigue, or metabolic dysfunction.
