Functional Nutrition
Hunt Vitality is proud to have Ali, our in-house Functional Nutritionist. Functional Nutrition is the practice of using food and daily habits to support the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. It looks at how nourishment influences your hormones, digestion, metabolism, mood, and energy—not in isolation, but as part of an interconnected system. Instead of rigid diets, functional nutrition honors bio-individuality and focuses on creating sustainable choices that remove obstacles to wellness and optimize how your body functions.
In practice, Ali combines Functional Nutrition with personalized tools—like blood panel testing, continuous glucose monitoring, and lifestyle assessments—to understand how your body is responding in real time. From there, we translate that information into daily rhythms around meals, movement, and sleep that are both nourishing and sustainable. What elevates this process is the integration of embodied practices and nervous system regulation, so changes don’t just happen on paper, they feel safe, supportive, and lasting in your life. The result is a way of living that optimizes energy, steadies hormones and blood sugar, and restores confidence in your body’s ability to thrive.

Advanced Labs
From the start we track the metrics that matter:
Blood Sugar Trends - Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor
Habits - Movements, Screen time
Energy Patterns
To create awareness and personalize your plan. The focus is on behavior over time, not perfection in the moment.
If needed, we can then use comprehensive lab panels and advanced blood testing, in collaboration with Dr. Heather, to deepen your insight into nutrient status, hormone health, inflammation, and metabolic function. These results guide decisions about nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and targeted supplementation — translating complex data into clear action steps.
Nervous System Regulation
Your nervous system is the control center for everything from cravings and digestion to blood sugar balance, metabolism, and hormone regulation. It’s the filter that decides whether your body feels safe enough to burn energy, rest, and repair—or whether it needs to stay in survival mode.
When the nervous system is dysregulated, even the best nutrition plan can feel impossible to follow. Cravings spike, blood sugar swings harder, digestion slows, and hormones shift out of rhythm. This is why “willpower” so often fails—because your body isn’t wired for thriving when it doesn’t feel safe.
To do this, we don’t just use food and lab data—we also use tools like breathwork, EFT tapping, and nervous system regulation practices to create lasting change.
When functional nutrition and nervous system regulation work together, transformation doesn’t feel like restriction—it feels like vitality.
