Functional Nutrition with Jessie White
Are you having trouble eating a balanced diet?
I understand.

I want to help you feel better.
Is the quality of your life being compromised?
I’m here to help you Harness Whole Health.
What is Whole Health?
Our bodies are complex ecosystems with many interrelated and interdependent parts. Whole Health is when all of these parts are working efficiently and in harmony with one another.
When one of our body systems is not functioning properly it burdens other systems, causing imbalances. By the same token, when we begin correcting imbalances in one body system, we positively influence other body systems.
There are some systems – most notably our digestive and immune systems – that are fundamental to all other body systems.
Directing our focus towards nourishing and strengthening these core systems will help fortify the foundation on which other body systems rely.
As our body systems begin functioning optimally, our genes start “listening” and can express themselves accordingly. Whole Health begins here.
How Do We Harness Whole Health?
Through the practices of functional nutrition.
The practices of functional nutrition go far beyond treating symptoms, which are simply messages from the body asking for support.
Functional nutrition considers all aspects of how you live your life to be significant and meaningful when investigating why your body is speaking up.
A functional approach involves understanding the way your unique story interfaces with your unique physiology. This helps identify the root causes of your symptoms, and allows us to respond with targeted interventions to manage, resolve and ultimately prevent underlying causes from occurring.
Functional nutrition champions your active participation in your own health journey. Understanding what is happening in your body and why will help you to advocate for yourself in your many healthcare relationships, and gain agency over your own health outcomes.
Your Partner in Harnessing Whole Health
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here!
I’m Jessie White, a Masters-level functional nutrition professional and CNS candidate dedicated to helping individuals discover the root causes of their health challenges and find lasting solutions through personalized nutrition care.
My Approach
I believe that our bodies have an incredible capacity to heal when given the right support. My work is grounded in the understanding that health is not merely the absence of disease, but a dynamic state of balance across all body systems.
Through functional nutrition, we look at the whole picture of your health. We examine how your digestive system, immune function, hormones, detoxification pathways, and other systems interact and influence one another. When we address imbalances at this foundational level, we create ripple effects of healing throughout your entire body.
The Foundation: Gut and Immune Health
I place special emphasis on gut and immune health because these systems are truly foundational to your overall wellbeing. Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that influence everything from nutrient absorption and hormone production to mood and immune function. When we optimize digestive health and support immune resilience, we lay the groundwork for improvements across all areas of your health.
What Sets My Practice Apart
Personalized Care: No two bodies are the same, and nutrition plans shouldn't be either. I take the time to understand your unique history, symptoms, goals, and circumstances to create protocols tailored specifically to you.
Evidence-Based Practice: My recommendations are grounded in current nutritional science and functional medicine research, combined with clinical expertise and an understanding of your individual needs.
Whole-Person Perspective: I recognize that you are more than your symptoms. Your diet, lifestyle, stress levels, sleep quality, relationships, and emotionl wellbeing all play vital roles in your health, and we'll address these factors as part of your comprehensive care.
Collaborative Partnership: Your healing journey is exactly that—yours. I'm here as your guide and partner, empowering you with knowledge and tools while respecting your autonomy in making decisions about your health.
Nutrition, Lifestyle, Environment
These areas become subject to our explorations, AND the very means by which we can improve our health outcomes—slowly and sustainably.
Nutrition
Macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) enable our body to produce energy, build tissues, regulate gene expression, and ensure cellular function. Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are essential helpers that enable enzymes—the catalysts of all chemical reactions in the body—to do their jobs. Without micronutrients we could not turn food into energy. Making sure you’re eating foods with plenty of nutrients and micronutrients is one of our goals, yet just as importantly, we will make sure your body is able to break down, absorb and make proper use of these life-serving substances!
Lifestyle
Our bodies listen and respond to every choice we make and routine we adopt. Our quality of sleep, exercise regimens, our relationship to stress, the connections with have with people in our lives—every bit of it shifts our biochemistry and can profoundly contribute to wellbeing or lack thereof. We will look at the ways in which each of these areas is contributing to your state of health.
Environment
The air we breathe, the water we drink, the household and personal products we use, the conditions of our surroundings all have an extreme impact on blood chemistry, hormone balance, detoxifying abilities and immune system regulation. It is of great importance to understand how aspects of your environment influence your health status, and how we can make adaptations to reduce harmful triggers and increase health-promoting ones.
